Lakshmi's Personal Masseur Interview

Last Updated: Nov 04, 2023

- Honestly I don't remember my first client. It seemed a smooth transition from doing clinical in the massage school to working with the public. I absolutely enjoyed massage school and it was always an exciting adventure to dive into the world of body work!

- Absolutely! It is truly an honor to serve

- Blissful!

- Be patient with yourself as there is a lot to learn. You want to understand your "why" because once you do you will always have a solid floor to stand on. Massage is truly a gift and being able to give that to others is a beautiful thing. Always remember that the client is essentially you, so treated them as you would like to be treated.

- I've worked in clinical setting around two years but have been practicing formally for more than five years. I will never throw away massage as it is a healing part of my life even if I am the one giving the massage. Touch is sacred.

- I love to travel to other countries. Love learning about different peoples and cultures.

- I was at a point of my life where I wanted to discover a way to not just live health and wellness but also to share it with others. I have found that in addition to healthy eating and exercise, massage is that way for me

- I would love for them to feel ease, comfort and bliss. I would love for them to feel like they will return again and again.

- Some people have a natural touch and gift for massage but it's amazing what you can learn via training. I appreciate all of my former instructors. The body is beautiful but complex. Having a deeper understanding of how it functions most definitely upgrades the skills of the therapist.

- There are many guys who get into massage but not all of them continue to study and learn. I enjoy learning and consistently upgrading my skills to better serve.

- My hobbies include anything in nature, hiking, ocean/beach, parks, swimming, producing art, tea, and travel

- I have been told that I am a great listener. It's true that people come for bodywork but many guys also come because they need mental comfort. There aren't many places where men can open up and feel comfortable. I feel grateful that men are able to see support in me and I am happy I can provide such comfort.

- Massage is addictive, but it's a beautiful addiction if I must say so because the human body is in dire need of consistent support. In the modern world we lack touch and care and I believe if people could receive massage daily or regularly then half of the issues we suffer would wither away.
