TranquilState's Massage Interview
Some people say that being a Masseur is addictive. Would you miss your Masseur days ?
Absolutely. It is a great feeling to help others, and this is my way of doing that. The sessions I provide are just as therapeutic for myself as they are for my clients. It is both a holistic therapeutic session and meditative head-clearing experience. I love zoning out and getting into that transcendental place that make my sessions both a sensual and SPIRITUAL journey and adventure!
How would you like someone that contacts you for a massage to feel when they leave?
My goal is for the client to feel completely rejuvenated and refreshed when they leave my table. Life can be very taxing on the mind, body, and spirit. If I can be there to alleviate some of this, and shed them of the toxins (in all their forms) that daily accumulate, then that’s really what it’s all about for me. I want them to feel brand new after an appointment with me.
What are your hobbies, what do you like to do in your spare time?
I love to travel and see new places. Really enjoy meeting people from all walks of life. I love beaches and mountains, the contrast between the two, as both provide different yet equally poignant spiritual meaning. Seeing live music is near the top of my list, and massage sometimes enables me to combine both work and fun in the form of working at music festivals. Spending time with friends and family is enjoyable and always welcome.
What distinguishes you from all the other Masseurs?
After our initial consultation and first apptmt my sessions can be tailored to suit the specific needs of the patient. I have 15 years of Certification that are utilized to confidently provide professional quality each and every time. My sessions are unique and I am often told highly sought after. The rare blends of modalities and touch that are implemented are not easy to find even in the major markets such as LA and NY.
How long have you been a Masseur and how long do think you'd like to continue?
As long as physically possible. They say the average career span of an MT is only 10 years, but I have not showed any signs of slowing down. I believe this has been and will continue to be attained. Through good work ethics like correct body posture and proper massage techniques, such as using your own body weight to work to ones advantage, one can have a good long career.
Is extensive training necessary for a Masseur in order to be successful?
I believe it is. The combination of experience and accredited training/schooling is exactly what one should look for in seeking out a good massage. Knowing the body, along with being able to handle anything that might arise during a session. With over 15 years experience there is nothing I have not seen, and it’s rare that anything too surprising can derail a session with me.
How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or are you more of a homebody?
I like a healthy balance with all things in life, and it’s what I strive for. This includes being both extroverted and introverted, as well as travel and home life. I love staying home, recharging, and then traveling some more, and like all things I prefer quality over quantity in my experiences.
