Earthdo's Massage Interview
Do you remember your first client ? Tell us something about that first day when you decided to be a Masseur!
Yes. I worked for my family massage business since the age of 17. When I turned 18 and I had my first male client. I enjoyed massaging a male's body. After that, It has been always a part-time job for me until I came to USA in 1995 then it became a full-time job since I am good at it..
Some people say that being a Masseur is addictive. Would you miss your Masseur days ?
We, human, are the social animal and one of the big difference between human and machine is sensuality. Massage is like mind, body and spirit reset. We all need that moment! I am not sure "addictive" is a right word. I think "blessing" is more like it.
Do you consider yourself a successful Masseur?
Yes. I used to only advertised on Massagem4m.com. In 2018 June, the site somehow went down and I heard the owners had a serious life problem. All my great reviews are gone with it. I have a stable clientele because they think I am the best. So far I only found a rolfer who is as good as me 3 years ago. Yes, I am very confident about my massage talent and the gift of touch.
Tell us a little about yourself, if you were to pick something what would you like your clients to absolutely know about you?
"Treat on others as you would like to be treated" is the way I live in my life. Also, I am a person who keeps a spiritual awareness constantly in daily life.
How would you like someone that contacts you for a massage to feel when they leave?
Yes, for the best result, I love feedback. Text me or call me are great way to let me know how they feel.
What are your hobbies, what do you like to do in your spare time?
Resting, movies, cooking and travel.
Why did you become a Masseur?
Originally it was due to help my family's massage business and it turned out I loved it so much by touching bodies. I enjoy that tranquil meditative and intimate moment during a massage session. On top of that, it is a great work out and keeps me in shape.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to be a Masseur?
You must love what you do first. Second, go to the massage school and really learn the different massage modalities and be a rational nice positive person.
What distinguishes you from all the other Masseurs?
Some people are gifted on touch. I am glad I am one of them! Plus, my was trained from eastern and western approaches.
How long have you been a Masseur and how long do think you'd like to continue?
I have been a masseur for 28 years. I think I will continue until physically unable. I believe you move you live. It is a trade on a labor job. Massage benefits to mind, body, and spirit for both clients and me. Nothing is like massage. I love it so much.
How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or are you more of a homebody?
I am more a homebody, however, I love nature. I try to go to nature for at least one a year. I also like o see the new things so I try to manage a overseas trip once a year as well.
Is extensive training necessary for a Masseur in order to be successful?
Yes, keep an open-mind on extensive traning, it helps to add more enjoyments to the message for the clients.
How do you like clients to feel about the experience when they leave?
My goal is trying to help my clients whether if they are here to take care of their pains or for relaxations. I will feel very happy when they have the great experience from me and not just about making money but actually help someone feel better.
