Shotaro's Personal Masseur Interview

Last Updated: Oct 12, 2018

- I like for my clients to feel very relaxed, less stressed from their day and feel as if they just had a very long well catered to pampered vacation. ;-)

- Training truly is necessary and is a great combination with the natural gift and passion for this art form.

- I travel home to Japan about once every other year. I love living in the states especially Los Angeles. And I am truly a homebody.

- I have been a Masseur for over 5 years and I truly don't see myself stopping any time soon.

- I feel that my personal training from Japan sets me apart from other because asian and the orient is probably one of the best places to get a massage.

- I would say, make sure you are doing it for the right reason and that you have a passion to bring joy, relaxation and bliss to people.

- I became a Masseur because I knew it was something that I was very passionate about and I could see myself doing it for the rest of my life.

- In my spare time I definitely go to the gym. I love love love cooking and watching my favorite japanese television shows on youtube.

- I would like someone to feel relaxed and rejuvenated. And I want them to feel that they had experience that made them feel as if they were the only person in world for those 60 or 90 minutes during our session.

- That I truly enjoy my work as a masseur which actually doesn't feel like work because I truly enjoy it.

- Yes I do actually consider myself successful. Successful in the sense that while living in Philadelphia for the pst 3 years I developed a very dedicated / repeat clientele base that still to this day will text me periodically asking when I will return to Philadelphia for a visit.

- I would definitely miss my masseur days if I stopped. Its my passion , it is what I know I am meant to do. I enjoy seeing my clients relaxed and rejuvenated after our session together.

- Being from Japan , massage is a normal part of our everyday lives. I have always admired the skill of my masseurs friends in Japan and decided to one day just go and study. After 12 months of training side by side with so many talented mentors I was happy to begin my practice and enjoyed it very much.
