Some people say that being a Masseur is addictive. Would you miss your Masseur days ?
Definitely! There are some who do this as a job to pay bills, and others like myself who are called to be expert healers. I discovered massage many, many years ago and could not imagine doing anything else in my career. I certainly see myself performing massage until I retire. I receive great pleasure from helping individuals attain their health goals through professional and dedicated massage sessions. It's the perfect harmonious balance of medicine/spirituality and the physical/mental.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to be a Masseur?
Get as much experience as you can as quickly as possible. Books and videos are one thing, but you need practical experience to improve and eventually master the art of massage. There are lots of folks who will do a massage trade with you in addition to hiring locals or getting a membership at a spa. So get lots and lots of practice in and also know the anatomy so you know what each part is, how to work it and it's related dysfunction so you can put it all together to heal it with tissue manipulation. A good working knowledge of stretching active, passive and active assisted is very helpful as well.
What are your hobbies, what do you like to do in your spare time?
Avoid smoking or consuming caffeine the day of your session. Remember to silence your phone and smart watch. The best way is to switch to airplane mode, do not disturb or silent. Avoid any heavy, especially meaty meals prior to coming in. Eat lightly the day of your appointment with lots of water before and after. When getting up from the table, after sitting up wait a moment before getting up and walking. Blood pressure lowers during a massage and moving too quickly may cause dizziness. Let me know how much pressure you like, areas to avoid or concentrate on. Feedback is very welcome during our session together.
