Gabrielg's Personal Masseur Interview

Last Updated: Feb 26, 2019

- I want clients to feel like they have experienced the best massage they have ever received. It important to address their concerns and follow through with goals planned out and to encourage open communication.

- I wouldn’t say extensive training is necessary, however it is really important. You have to be able to adapt and change, part of that is knowing when and how to change to be of highest service.

- I’m pretty balanced between the two. Balance is part of my life philosophy.

- I’ve been a massage therapist for 15 years and I will probably be doing it in some capacity for the rest of my life.

- I’m multistate licensed, I have 15 years experience as a masseur, and I never stop learning and listening. My ability to connect intuitive application with scientific research is something my clients tell me that places me above the rest.

- Learn as much as you can for as long as you can. Be confident about your boundaries and always above all else respect yourself and others.

- That’s a loaded question. For many reasons, to be of service, to learn a new skill, to enjoy my body and learn about the interactions of mind body spirit and soul.

- I love to relax. If that means a nice hike in nature or a cozy night with a book and a bath. I love meeting new people and having deep conversations with everyone I meet.

- I want every client to feel like they received the best massage that money can buy. I want them to feel relief and to feel like they want to come back again and again.

- Communication is key to a great massage. Tell me what you need, I will listen with my mind body and soul.

- I would say yes! I feel like anyone who lasts in this profession longer than 4 years is successful.

- After doing this work off and on for the last 15 years, I always find myself coming back to it in some capacity. I just love what I do, and from what I’m told I’m really good at it!

- I remember working on my first client. He was a friend of my brothers. I was so nervous, and he was so sweet. He ended up falling asleep on the table which gave me more confidence to continue practicing. After the first massage, he became a loyal weekly client till I moved away.
