Maxstpetefl's Massage Interview
Some people say that being a Masseur is addictive. Would you miss your Masseur days ?
Absolutely. It is healing for my own body to massage someone and to give the gift of healing to another person.
Do you consider yourself a successful Masseur?
Yes. I have lots of repeat clients.
Tell us a little about yourself, if you were to pick something what would you like your clients to absolutely know about you?
I am gracious and grateful to every client regardless of who they are or where they come from. I believe in Asian hospitality and politeness. I have also been known to tie someone's shoelaces because well, that's what we do in Asia!
How would you like someone that contacts you for a massage to feel when they leave?
Totally rejuvenated and relaxed, and ready for whatever the world throws at him!
What are your hobbies, what do you like to do in your spare time?
Running, lifting weights, reading, cooking, writing, travel, kayaking, and all new adventures.
How long have you been a Masseur and how long do think you'd like to continue?
13 years. For as long as it is fun for myself and as long as I can!
What distinguishes you from all the other Masseurs?
I do a LOT of stretching and Thai Yoga on clients, provided they are open to the ideas.
Why did you become a Masseur?
To heal others and allow them the joy of another human's touch.
Do you remember your first client ? Tell us something about that first day when you decided to be a Masseur!
He was an extremely gracious gentleman and in turn, said I offered him an outstanding massage!
Is extensive training necessary for a Masseur in order to be successful?
Yes, the more training, the more likely you will be successful. But long experience, through trial and error, is also necessary to perfect one's craft and intuitive sense.
How do you like clients to feel about the experience when they leave?
That they are on top of the world, ready to meet all challenges.
