RobertBlack's Personal Masseur Interview
Personal Interviews give you the opportunity to know the Masseur you are considering to hire better before you make the first step.
Our Personal Masseur Interviews are a great way to give a little bit of personal and even intimate information about your massage experience. Get to know him better before you call!
What advice would you give to someone who wants to be a Masseur?
Get some formal basic training that includes body mechanics, to protect yourself and the client. Never work without a table. Never drizzle oil directly on a client. Touch with intention. Talk less, listen more. Find out what each client wants and needs; don't use a cookie cutter.
How do you like clients to feel about the experience when they leave?
I want clients to feel the way they hoped they'd feel, and that I exceeded their expectations. I really do view a session as a client's time for self care. That's not to be taken lightly. I do everything possible to make sure they feel cared for.
Is extensive training necessary for a Masseur in order to be successful?
I think every masseur needs to have at least some basic knowledge to keep the client safe, as well as himself. I have had some great massages from men who are self taught or were trained by a knowledgeable colleague. Formal, or advanced training can certainly widen your skill set, but being a great masseur is also an art.
