Kikaya's Personal Masseur Interview

Last Updated: Sep 29, 2020

- Hopefully that their experience has been different from their previous experience and that they have been able to see a different side of massage.

- I’d say training is always necessary, however lack of training is always made up for in how intuitive and naturally attuned you are I think

- In the age of coronavirus not as much as I would like

- 3 years and counting until my hands give out.

- Attention to detail and customer service ;)

- Do not think it simply entails pressing and pulling. You have to have a basic understanding of how the body works, where things are and how to manipulate them.

- Like the flexibility and freedom it allows me.

- I take singing lessons, bike a lot, teach Japanese and hang out with friends.

- Pleased, fulfilled, relaxed and eager to come back.

- Before doing massage I graduated in Japanese Studies with a minor of Buddhist philosophy so If you want an immersive Buddhist massage setting or any other specific variant of eastern massage I can arrange that for you

- So far no complaints and plenty of people coming back so I’d say yes haha. Always open to constructive criticism of course

- I was 23, backpacking in Thailand and came across this very nice massage school in Koh Samui, so decided to give it a try and found it I’m gifted and can naturally commune with a client’s needs and bodily aches and problems.

- I would probably miss the flexibility and dynamism of being able to work all around the world at any given time.
