3 Notes

v Art of Loving

Since a good portion of your day is spent, working it had better be something you like to do. No one can tell you in advance if massage is something, you will love. Your enthusiasm for work will be communicated to your clients and everyone around you. This translates to a successful massage practice with lots of happy clients..

v Finding a Job

Your school wants you to succeed and will do everything they can to help you find work but ultimately it is your responsibility.

v Building a Private Practice

People don’t know the value of something until they experience it themselves. Offering Discounted rates or outright free trial sessions is a way to give people the experience and start word of mouth advertising.

v Massage is Hard Work

Working smart. People who are in pain physical and or emotional are your best clients. Your nurturing touch helps the emotional part and your smart touch helps the physical. Don’t forget to take care of yourself. Keep fit loose weight. It is very difficult to do massage if you are in more pain than your clients are.

v Continuing Education

You won’t stay interested unless you’re always learning.
