bryanmasssage's Personal Masseur Interview

Last Updated: Oct 04, 2023

- When I first started on this journey my primary reason was to add diversification to my income streams. However, as I continued in this field I discovered the incredibly rewarding feeling that I got from a very satisfied customer.

- I've been doing this type of bodywork for 5 years now and I would like to continue as long as I have the physical and emotional capacity to do so. If and when I no longer have the desire to provide my 5 star service, then I will graciously bow out.

- My goal for each client is that they leaving feeling as though they were my most important client. That they felt accepted in my judgement free zone, spoiled by my hands, and comfortable in my studio.

- I used to travel frequently. However after some time of doing that, I got burned out. Now, I prefer to spend more time in my home city with less trips per year but more meaningful ones.

- Massage is not as easy as you may think. It is physically challenging as well as emotionally and mentally challenging. Any type of massage is a very intimate experience between therapist and client. The therapist always has to be on top of their game for each and every massage. Unlike other jobs where you might occasionally get by with slacking, this is not one of them.

- I feel that I am rather in touch with other's feelings. I'm quite intuitive and can usually read a person's mood. I believe this is very important as many of my clients like to talk during a session and being able to say the right things or just listen can affect the atmosphere of a session.

- I workout quite a bit, love to play pool, spend time with my closest friends, and take my dog to the park.

- Yes it is. Whether formal training through a school or informal through an experienced masseuse.

- When my clients leave, I want them to feel relaxed. If they came in with specific muscle tension issues, I'd like to to leaving feeling that I've helped them with those issues.

- Yes, I consider myself successful. A significant number of my clients are now regulars.

- I agree. I would very much miss it. I love helping people relieve their muscle tension. It is incredibly fulfilling.

- I do remember my first client. It was a 4 hand session with my experienced partner and I was a bit nervous. I was able to help with some lower back pain that the client had and he left feeling much better than when he came in.
