WestCoastTherapy's Personal Masseur Interview

Last Updated: Mar 12, 2021

- Very, as I mentioned in my profile I have worked on hundreds, thousands of men over the years... Success is only measured in the number of clients that return time and time again... Some have become very good friends over time. Also, I rarely travel from city to city. (Sometimes Tulsa or Wichita) In my opinion, being successful is developing a client base over time, creating a professional in home environment that have clients return again and again.

- I do travel from time to time, but not often... I prefer being in my own home studio. I can control the environment much better and deliver a better overall experience. Nothing worse than being cold on a massage table!

- I think of myself as a genuine nice guy. No attitude, delivering a top notch massage with reasonable fees. (What is it with guys charging $150-$250 and beyond???) Also, personal hygiene is very important to me, as well as living and working in a spotless environment. Fresh towels, linens, are all important... I also value a clients time, and I strive to be completely ready for them upon their arrival.

- It is hard work! Not as glamorous as it might seem... Everyone needs touch - some clients are fake, will flake, waste your time, etc. - roll with it. Don't let those guys discourage you or change your attitude, be true to yourself and your client base will be solid!

- 18 years... I think I have a few more months, years in me.... :)

- I genuinely enjoy meeting people and the one on one interaction of energy is very calming for me.

- I would truly miss the interaction with people... as I mentioned many clients have become good friends.

- Even though I do massage as a side job, I take it very seriously. I have a strong work ethic, and strive to deliver an overall great experience.

- Like most therapists, I enjoy the gym, and living an active lifestyle.

- I would hope they depart already looking forward to their next session!

- Getting some basic training is absolutely necessary... But with that being said, many therapists have a natural gift for touch.... there are many online videos out there that one can watch to remind themselves of different techniques.

- First and foremost, I want clients to feel that their time and hard earned $$ has not been waisted... and that they truly have had a nice session when they have departed... We all have experienced booking a massage for an hour and it actually lasts 15 minutes... CHOOSE YOUR THERAPIST WISELY... never pay upfront! Never give a CC over the phone.

- My first client was a great experience, as he was a collegiate swimmer from Texas... we had met at the gym, and we both had a mutual interest in massage. We actually traded!
