VinnyFormo's Massage Interview
Do you remember your first client ? Tell us something about that first day when you decided to be a Masseur!
My first client was in a physical therapy office. I worked under a physical therapist for 10 years doing post rehab work and corrective stretching and muscle manipulation.
Some people say that being a Masseur is addictive. Would you miss your Masseur days ?
I personally find physical work very taxing since I lift alot of weights and play ball a lot. I certainly wouldn't miss is physically! lol
Do you consider yourself a successful Masseur?
I am a professional in my REAL career. Thats not massage. But, I have been told in my massage side job, that if I was to do full time I would be pretty darn successful !
Tell us a little about yourself, if you were to pick something what would you like your clients to absolutely know about you?
I'm Funny. I can seem a bit offensive at times, but that's comedy. Life is meant to be laughed at and joked with. Im very sweet at heart.
How would you like someone that contacts you for a massage to feel when they leave?
Renewed. Revitalized. Happy. Clear. Light. Loved. Connected.
What are your hobbies, what do you like to do in your spare time?
I am very very discreet for many reasons.. mostly about my professional life. So I don't want to give away too much. I write a TON. I read a lot. I research a lot. Thats about all I want to share. But I obviously lift weights a lot and play a lot of sports. Im a physical and mental animal :)
Why did you become a Masseur?
Next question! lol
What advice would you give to someone who wants to be a Masseur?
You need to care. To genuinely take the time to care.
What distinguishes you from all the other Masseurs?
As I said, in the previous question, I CARE. I care a lot.
I also have done massage at a very high level for injured people and athletes for rehab..I take the massage seriously. Im intense.
How long have you been a Masseur and how long do think you'd like to continue?
10 years in sports medicine and physical therapy.
1 month on this site only.
How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or are you more of a homebody?
When I was making a ton of money, I traveled all over the world. Now I am doing massage as a side gig to make more money. Yet, I find that now, I dont' have the TIME to travel because I work so much in my pro life.
Is extensive training necessary for a Masseur in order to be successful?
I think one must at least be under the tutelage of a professional for some time to learn. Then years of experience to be GREAT.
How do you like clients to feel about the experience when they leave?
I WANT them to BELIEVE that it was the best massage they ever had.
If you want the truth.. MOST DO. ;-)
