chrisbauerga's Massage Interview

Do you remember your first client ? Tell us something about that first day when you decided to be a Masseur!

Yes I remember quite well my first client. I remember at end of session the client liked me so much he tipped half of the massage rate more. I t was then I decided thia beat my day job in finance setting at a desk all day.

Do you consider yourself a successful Masseur?

I base sucess on statistics. After working 17 yrs and still have bout 30% of my original clients and each yr I increase my income slightly, like most I would say I only get better with age.

What are your hobbies, what do you like to do in your spare time?

I love being in outdoors, hiking, swimming and playing volleyball. Basically anything that allows me to stay healthy, active and motivated.

Some people say that being a Masseur is addictive. Would you miss your Masseur days ?

I dont know if being a masseur is addictive. That would be like calling someone a workaholic who is great at their job.
If I decide one day to fall back on my finance I would most definitely miss the clients I now get to see each day. Each bringing a different type of energy and personality to my day that keeps me intrigued and stimulated. I would miss the excitement of getting to travel all over for work, seeing new places and faces!!

Tell us a little about yourself, if you were to pick something what would you like your clients to absolutely know about you?

Im a very upbeat, positive, witty guy with a great sense of humor on life. I think the majority of my clients come see me for first my great work but most importantly because I create a relaxing carefree environment that for a few hours allows them to leave all their stress at the door.

How would you like someone that contacts you for a massage to feel when they leave?

I would hope that each person who meets and greets me leaves with little peace of mind, feeling more relaxed and rejuvenated.

Why did you become a Masseur?

Aftrr 9/11 I decided to take my pt job as masseur and make it full time cause at the time alot of finance jobs were being let go due to the fall of the market.

What advice would you give to someone who wants to be a Masseur?

My advice to someone who wants to be a masseur is do your homework first aling with being healthy and staying active to keep up your strength to be able to give great deep tissue massages each day. Also make sure you creat the up most professional environment for your clients when they arrive. That includes clean room and real functing massage table.

What distinguishes you from all the other Masseurs?

I think what seperates me from alot but not all other masseurs is my strong arms and hands along with 17 yrs experience. I do up to 400/500 push ups aday to keep my strength up to give string deep tissue massages all day. Also I happy a very unique personality. My friends nickname me Mr Hollywood, not for my looks as much as my unique sway that keeps guys around me constantly entertained.

How long have you been a Masseur and how long do think you'd like to continue?

I have been a masseur 17 yrs and as long as clients still enjoy coming to me for a relaxing experience and my strength holds up I will continue making guys life a little better with my sensual touch.

How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or are you more of a homebody?

I travel all over for work. Being flown to erotic cities across the US. I enjoy getting out and seeing new things along with new faces.

Is extensive training necessary for a Masseur in order to be successful?

I think much lije any career to be sucessful to have to want to constantly better your craft. I am addicted to GNC and gym cause the healthier and better I look the better the experience my clients have when they see me for a massage!

How do you like clients to feel about the experience when they leave?

I hope that each and everyone of my clients who leave me after a session feel little more recharged along with being relaxed. I hope my clients also feel so great about their experience that it makes them consider book future appointments with me.
