Jacobblmt's Personal Masseur Interview

Last Updated: Aug 28, 12:09

- I believe my background in doing occupational therapy for almost 10 years plus massaging for almost a 10 years now combines expertise with intuitive understanding of what the body needs. Not being afraid to add the sensual element to the massage and personalizing the whole experience is what makes my massages different.

- I’ve always enjoyed massaging people since I was a kid, family members and friends. My first client was my landlord, I went out and bought a cheap table on Craigslist because I planned to start massage school the following season and I wanted to practice. He was an older guy in early 60’s and the sensual aspects was shockingly natural, him saying with eyes that could barely open, that was the best massage I’ve ever had felt incredible being that I had no formal training. To feel the human connection form through touch was so special, I was hooked from then on.

- Seek spiritual guidance to not take on to much of other people’s energy ick, create your own music playlist! Ask for feedback as much as possible, never refuse to see someone based on looks, envision yourself as the client and give them the best massage they have ever had. Hygiene hygiene hygiene

- Whether it be professional training or through feedback , you have to stay vigilant in perfecting your art of touch. I truly believe in intuitive touch but people that massage because they like it often don’t know how to operate their own body mechanics to not hurt themselves or the client, especially if doing deep tissue.

- I’ve been massaging professionally now for almost 10 years, I plan to still be massaging for another 10 however I’ll be doing it more on the side instead of full time, so I don’t lose the passion for the service and quality I provide as I get older.

- The impact I have had on my clients and the community as a whole is not lost on me. When I stop massaging, I would keep many of the friendships bonds I’ve made and probably still find a way to do massages here and there on the special clients I hold dear.

- I want nothing more than to make my clients feel a connection and have an experience that will leave them feeling better than how they came to me. I’m open to all body types and races, I can’t believe some people get turned away.

- My goal for every client is to provide the best massage experience they have ever had. I have high expectations on myself and I want each customer to feel special and exceed their expectations.

- I do, on average I see between 40 and 60
Massages a month, with a robust return clientele and frequent new clients I feel my business is successful.
