Jayplay's Massage Interview
Do you remember your first client ? Tell us something about that first day when you decided to be a Masseur!
The first client I saw was wonderful because I didn’t know I was so good at what I was doing. He gave me a great compliment in my technique and still sees me regularly. I’m happy to have made such excellent client connections and friends!
Do you consider yourself a successful Masseur?
I’m definitely successful. I’m very blessed to have great hands and muscles to be able to give a deep and effective massage, and I suppose being pleasant to the eye doesn’t hurt either. But mainly my success comes from my skills and ability to do the best work at all times, a work ethic, and the desire to please. Also a bit of business and marketing and professional attitude goes a long way.
Some people say that being a Masseur is addictive. Would you miss your Masseur days ?
Yes, most definitely. It does give a sense of accomplishment when I allow someone to be alleviated of their pain and give them an endorphin rush. Also it can be very fun and sensual and that is mutually entertaining and enjoyable. 😉
Tell us a little about yourself, if you were to pick something what would you like your clients to absolutely know about you?
I’m very strong, capable, yet fun and funny, and have a great touch, and am usually fearless when it comes to intimacy and giving my all. I’m not a stoic or boring/mechanical person and fun to talk to and be with. So they will always get a lot more than is expected. They deserve the best experience and expertise and I go the extra!
How would you like someone that contacts you for a massage to feel when they leave?
Like they have been coated in layers of Love; so relaxed and pleasant that they will imagine themselves in a special chamber of heaven. Drifting in to divine levels of the cosmos, put together and ready for the world!
What are your hobbies, what do you like to do in your spare time?
I’m a music producer. A DJ, a performance artist.
Why did you become a Masseur?
To enhance the lives of my clients by giving them the best massage ever and allowing people to enjoy being in their bodies as well as to meet great friends and fun people in the process.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to be a Masseur?
Make sure you hit the gym regularly and keep a very positive attitude. Make sure you have a great level of energy mentality and physically and lose the ego.
What distinguishes you from all the other Masseurs?
I’m very kind, warm, and down to earth. I don’t operate with a fat head and give a very valuable service, I’m an extremely hard worker and exceed my fellow masseurs in professional mode of operation, by always following up to the best of my ability, and staying on the ball. I have a fun attitude with a good sense of humor, and quite classy, yet up to be sensual and relaxed to help my clients relax.
How long have you been a Masseur and how long do think you'd like to continue?
4 or 5 years now. I think 5-10 more years or so before I transition into a career in music and performance artist DJ.
How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or are you more of a homebody?
Once every other month. I sometimes like staying put, but once I get traveling it can really get interesting and fun. It’s a toss up. It is more work packing and unpacking and scrambling and getting clients to commit to a set time, which is at times frustrating, but I do get a change of scenery and meet some really great people and see some profound things.
Is extensive training necessary for a Masseur in order to be successful?
I don’t know. What is excessive? Sometimes I think that you have it or you don’t, and the same goes for the desire to keep at it and keep the energy level and good attitude up and running which is so important.
How do you like clients to feel about the experience when they leave?
I like them to know that I’m a great guy to spend time with and provide a service that exceeds their expectations and has them seeing the rest of their day in an optimistic way. I’m really here to fully satisfy.
