The Handbook For New Massage Therapist Daniella Whittle

Do you have what it takes to make it in this business? Massage therapy is not just a job; it becomes a part of you! Massage is a discipline of your mind. You are putting aside yourself and giving to another. Before you touch a client you must answer the following prerequisite questions: 1. Will I leave the thoughts and emotions of my personal life at the door? 2. Will I focus and be present with this individual through the entire massage? 3. Will I give this client an amazing massage? The answer to these questions should be a solid enthusiastic, "Yes"! Massage is highly interactive, in the sense that you are listening to the non verbal body language of your client at all times. Mastering this with each client is a daily practice. It is one of the first steps towards giving a massage that will have a memorable impact on your client. Most massage therapists are paid per massage. That means, you need to do what it takes to make an impact on your client and get the highest dollar value from your session. A successful massage session will achieve the following: 1. You met your client's expectations. 2. You up sold your service or/and sold retail products 3. The client rebooked with you. This handbook breaks up your hour session and takes a look at each responsibility as a separate entity. Every detail and every element of your job needs to be looked at as its own skill.
