SportsMassageDom's Massage Interview
Do you consider yourself a successful Masseur?
I do consider myself a successful masseur. I have helped countless clients eliminate chronic pains and have helped improve the lives of many.
How would you like someone that contacts you for a massage to feel when they leave?
I want everyone who comes to my massage table to be happy they chose me. I want them to leave in a better state of body, mind and spirit than when they came.
What distinguishes you from all the other Masseurs?
I’m certified, knowledgeable and effective. I offer physical appeal and connection as well as a good therapeutic massage.
How do you like clients to feel about the experience when they leave?
I want clients to leave knowing that they received good value and knowing that they will return
Is extensive training necessary for a Masseur in order to be successful?
Long term, extensive training, continuing education and experience have made a tremendous difference for my success a massage therapist. “Massage” is a big umbrella that covers a lot of distinctive skill sets. My 1500 hours of education and subsequent certifications have prepared me for any musculature issue a client presents to me.
What are your hobbies, what do you like to do in your spare time?
I am an avid yogi and certified instructor, oil painter and plan 6 week trips for far away eco adventures every two years.
How long have you been a Masseur and how long do think you'd like to continue?
I have been doing massage work for eight years and have no intentions of stopping any time soon.
How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or are you more of a homebody?
I travel extensively to enjoy the world’s fauna and flora and advocate for animal conservation and saving our environment. I’ve scuba dived in the Galapagos, trekked with gorillas in Uganda, explored the northern Amazon, hiked Mt Kilimanjaro, got close and personal with grey whales in Baja, observed orangutans in Borneo and Sumatra and Komodo dragons in their natural habitat.
Some people say that being a Masseur is addictive. Would you miss your Masseur days ?
There is nothing like sharing energy with another on the table. I feel like I’m doing good for the world. I would certainly miss it.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to be a Masseur?
Get as much professional training as possible early on. It helps deter bad habits early on and clients will certainly know the difference from a trained vs untrained massage therapist.
Why did you become a Masseur?
I spent fifteen years in real estate and five years in the corporate world prior and was a workaholic. Massage has allowed me to focus on other priorities in my life and it keeps me more balanced.
Tell us a little about yourself, if you were to pick something what would you like your clients to absolutely know about you?
I have a transgender child of whom I am extremely proud.
