TheraPete's Massage Interview
How do you like clients to feel about the experience when they leave?
My goal is for clients to experience blissful relaxation, spiritually balanced and centered. Clients should leave my care exceeding all of their expectations.
How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or are you more of a homebody?
It feels great to balance homelife and exploration through travel.
How long have you been a Masseur and how long do think you'd like to continue?
3 years. While broadening my research within the field of physical wellness, I hope to never stop learning what gifts this world has to offer the human body.
What distinguishes you from all the other Masseurs?
My clients.
Why did you become a Masseur?
To help others achieve peak performance and grow physical wellness.
What are your hobbies, what do you like to do in your spare time?
Reading, writing and any physical activity that helps me break a sweat.
Some people say that being a Masseur is addictive. Would you miss your Masseur days ?
Can’t see myself giving it up to miss it.
How would you like someone that contacts you for a massage to feel when they leave?
Balanced, blissful relaxation. Physically centered and comfortably grounded. Peaceful and ready to conquer the world.
Do you consider yourself a successful Masseur?
Success comes with repeat satisfied customers.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to be a Masseur?
Follow your instincts. Listen and learn everything you can about the body and it's journey towards health and wellness.
Do you remember your first client ? Tell us something about that first day when you decided to be a Masseur!
I will always remember my first customer and the valuable things I learned throughout my journey and growth as a masseur.
Is extensive training necessary for a Masseur in order to be successful?
Extensive training is important in any trade. Coming from a family of teachers with graduate studies in pedagogy, I believe learning is a lifetime commitment.
Tell us a little about yourself, if you were to pick something what would you like your clients to absolutely know about you?
Born in Williamsburg, VA, I spent my summers biking and exploring the outdoors around Colonial Williamsburg and the campus of William & Mary. I think being around students and history at such a young age has influenced my appetite for knowledge and creativity. Today I work in social services with the unhoused and the previously incarcerated population of LA. I love to help others, and massage therapy is a direct way for me to work with others to improve their quality of life.
