Jay_Woods's Massage Interview
Do you remember your first client ? Tell us something about that first day when you decided to be a Masseur!
I don’t. But I’m sure I was nervous! It’s taken me 8 years of massage practice to get to a place where the amount of anatomy/physiology education I’ve had between massage therapy school and graduate school allows me to proceed comfortability and confidently into new client relationships.
Some people say that being a Masseur is addictive. Would you miss your Masseur days ?
I’m moving into the body psychotherapy field after two more years to graduate school and I find them to have more similarities than not.
Do you consider yourself a successful Masseur?
Yes, but it took a couple of year. Fortunately, for the past few years I haven’t had a single client who has said anything other than positive things about my work.
Why did you become a Masseur?
Freedom.
How would you like someone that contacts you for a massage to feel when they leave?
Relaxed, renewed, invigorated, and satisfied.
Is extensive training necessary for a Masseur in order to be successful?
Training is necessary, but so is practice, intuition, and experience.
How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or are you more of a homebody?
I travel as often as possible, especially during the summer. But, I also love low keys evenings.
How long have you been a Masseur and how long do think you'd like to continue?
8 years. As long as I can.
