LaMasseur's Massage Interview
Do you remember your first client ? Tell us something about that first day when you decided to be a Masseur!
My first day was nerveracking (sp). I was so afraid of messing up that I blacked out a bit. Then I started to massage my client and the fear went away when I saw how happy they were.
Some people say that being a Masseur is addictive. Would you miss your Masseur days ?
Some days its very addictive. Allowing people to feel good in your presence is always a good thing. Some days it's grueling. Especially Back-To-Back Sessions.
Do you consider yourself a successful Masseur?
I absolutely do consider myself a Successful Masseur.
Tell us a little about yourself, if you were to pick something what would you like your clients to absolutely know about you?
I really want my clients to know they have a real connection when it comes to me. By connecting on all levels, you really understand people's wants and needs. Fascinating.
How would you like someone that contacts you for a massage to feel when they leave?
I want them to feel like... :I Have To Come Back Tomorrow. It Was That Good".
What are your hobbies, what do you like to do in your spare time?
Working on Web 3
Playing Drums
Riding Motorcycles
Hiking
Swimming (The Caribbean)
Why did you become a Masseur?
I have BIG Hands I am told. One day one of my friends said I should offer massages and BOOM... The Rest Is History
What advice would you give to someone who wants to be a Masseur?
Get to know your clients on a deeper personal level if that is possible. Just don't treat them like a number. They will feel that and then they won't have a great experience at all.
What distinguishes you from all the other Masseurs?
I actually will talk on the phone, FaceTime, Text and write emails as a form of communication. Many others just cut right to the chase and discuss thier Fees to no end. I never talk about money until we schedule.
How long have you been a Masseur and how long do think you'd like to continue?
I started 20 years ago and then I retired and moved from NYC to Arizona in 2016. I just started again last month. Will continue for all of 2023.
How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or are you more of a homebody?
I prefer to Travel and I have been to NYC, Miami, Orlando, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Bixby and Prescott, AZ. I am planning going to LA, Chicago, SF and Kansas City. That's alot.
Is extensive training necessary for a Masseur in order to be successful?
Mental Training is a must. You have to be punctual and know your client and thier needs and wants. It's not just about you.
How do you like clients to feel about the experience when they leave?
I want them to feel like their dreams just came true after leaving one of my sessions.
