ErikV - Experienced Male massage therapist in Scranton, PA

Some people say that being a Masseur is addictive. Would you miss your Masseur days ?

Yes I would miss my masseur days..
It's a very exciting job and I'm an excitable kind of guy. I especially like the first meeting I have with a brand new client. You never know what to expect. You don't know what's going to happen until it happens.
Feeling good is addictive and I like to feel good and I like to make people feel even better. I truly believe it's better to give than to receive. Can you tell I'm a top?

What advice would you give to someone who wants to be a Masseur?

Do your research, know yourself,and be sure that this is something that you want to do.
It's a difficult job, and it's not for everyone.
It's very physical, which thankfully is one of the things I like best about this job. It keeps me physically fit. I work hard during the massage and I have to be in shape in order to be successful.

Why did you become a Masseur?

My parents were into yoga, meditation and massage, so I was exposed to it at a very young age and I had a very positive attitude towards it.
Many years later when at my full time job people would often tell me that I had strong hands and a good touch. Several of my coworkers commented that I should be a massage therapist. Since I love to travel I thought that possibly getting a second job would afford me the opportunity to do just that, and that's when I thought of becoming a masseur. Once I began studying at school I was highly motivated because of of the effect massage has on people. Think about it… at a very young age if a child falls down sometimes just a touch of a hand or finger on their injury makes it all feel better. We carry that with us throughout the rest of our life.
Touch is one of the five senses, and it has a profound effect on people. I love that fact, and that I can be a part of helping people feel good through touch.
