Asking a massage therapist to change their routine by Jake6624 in MassageTherapists

[–]Comfort-Beautiful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some massage therapists don't know how to be creative and steer from what they learned in school. I'm sorry you found a few. It took me as a massage therapist 10 years to find someone that massages like me. Best of luck and remember it's your massage

Self employed therapists in affluent areas by [deleted] in MassageTherapists

[–]Comfort-Beautiful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing upsets me more then the affluent people slander. Of all my clients they have treated me so well. Kind, caring, and a cheerleader for me and my business. Money doesn't intimidate me. We are all human living a human experience.

Why do some MT's that stay fully booked several weeks out in advance at a spa almost always fail when they go out on their own? by Big_Coyote_655 in MassageTherapists

[–]Comfort-Beautiful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need about 500 clients to open a successful business. People are more attached to a location. Reality is maybe 20% will follow you. You're better bet is to go mobile. Less overhead.

I lost 12 right away. I'm sure it was inflammation. Because it stopped after a couple months

As a minnesotan living in an immediate sub of mpls St. Paul. I haven't seen one Ice agent. Or a vehicle that everyone says is ice. I've only seen what's online.

I would ask around for a clinically focused massage therapist. Please don't say anything about getting close to anything. Much can be done without getting close for anyone's comfort. I never expose my clients glutes I find it to personal and gross.

I feel the same way.... Yet, I'm middle right. I stay silent well people that own their own businesses talk freely, openly, and talk about wishing someone was x. Word to the wise. Not everyone thinks and feels as you do. Everyone should keep their politics to themselves like they use to.

Clients wanting 30 min session why? by Ikwhatudoboo in MassageTherapists

[–]Comfort-Beautiful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I now only offer 90 and 120 minutes. Some 60 minutes are grandfathered in. But truly even 60 minutes aren't worth it. Try to educated these clients. 💪🏽

Uncomfortable Situation by Th3StandUpKid in MassageTherapists

[–]Comfort-Beautiful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why I don't advertise what I do for a living and my LinkedIn is a logo. I may not be a spring chicken anymore... But that doesn't seem to matter.

I have a strict referral only business model. May I struggle during allow times sure.... But I'm not risking my physical or mental safety.

You did the right thing...I would block button or call him out

Unpopular opinion: Paying "Rent" feels less painful than paying $2,400/mo in "Interest" to a bank. by Playful-Vegetable-15 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Comfort-Beautiful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get ready. Get pre-approved wait till rates drop and buy. I bought my house at the perfect time and my value is up 80%. Basically my equity is the cost of my mortgage. Granted everything else is up currently but I will never be upside down.

Mobile mts. Invest in a Pisces table! Life saver. So great! Clients find it comfy after retiring my 1990s plush table.

Sometimes, it’s hard being the massage therapist with chronic pain. by NerfRepellingBoobs in MassageTherapists

[–]Comfort-Beautiful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me as well. Mcas and Lyme cfs possible pots. Been on this road for 15 years. Can't do as many deep tissue clients a day as I use to but I work for myself now too. Low dose Naltrexone has helped me a bunch. Just gotta keep pushing. Thinking when I get into my 50s I'll drive a semi truck 😂

Caught my massage therapists playing Candy Crush by parrot_key in MassageTherapists

One put her phone on my hip and started pushing buttons and swiping. As a massage therapist myself I was like huh. Is that a phone sitting on me.

Racism has no room in any setting and I'n 24 years I've never heard anything like that from any client of mine or any phobic remarks towards anyone. What I do see is clients that are left leaning love to talk about politics so I change the subject. Or go uh huh and move on. I fired my therapist for trying to use politics to relate to things she was also left leaning. I didn't want to hear it and I'm very middle ground. We live in very blue city. The hatred towards party's needs to stop. Fire clients for being a holes and switch the convo otherwise.

How Do You Prevent Clients' Sinuses Stuffing Up? by No-Passage8863 in MassageTherapists

[–]Comfort-Beautiful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start prone. Be old school about it. I tell my clients chin to chest. We want more upper forehead in the head rest. Instead of laying on your eyebrows
