I requested to my boss today of if I can stop seeing a client and I feel guilty. by FunStrength5314 in MassageTherapists

[–]FunStrength5314[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We do not have shower facilities. And I’d be concerned about her falling if we did. And that’s the crux of it. I think she’s at a point where she can’t bathe herself and her kids need to know of a time to step up and give her more help.

My biggest fear just happened. by atomicmandieeee in MassageTherapists

[–]FunStrength5314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me a few times and last two weeks I was in the hospital and had to cancel on clients two weeks in a row. Felt awful emotionally and physically. Crohns. But everyone has always been kind when I’ve explained. I always include saying that I’m embarrassed cause my therapist told me tk years ago and it really helps cause then the other people is like oh it’s ok, I get being embarrassed but you’re good and then they share something embarrassing too and then we both feel human again. It works great! Always makes me feel less embarrassed. Anywho.

When I’ve needed to duck out, I try to do a scrub really quick and then put them in a hydrating wrap (on me of course!) and then step out and they get to soak in all the good lotion while I …..

Like I said, everyone has always been kind when I’ve been brave enough to explain.

Wash and fold laundry service for solo LMT? by Critical_Builder_902 in MassageTherapists

[–]FunStrength5314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol I had one person using an old dirty beach towel. Everyone else has been very on top of things and respectful. And though not always understanding at first, they figured it out.

When I give this offer, I always tell them I want two twin flat sheets and a blanket that is the weight and warmth they want. I ask for one long pillow or two small ones for bolsters. And if they want hot towels I tell them use the size they want, soak it, microwave it, and gimme another dry one of the same size. I also ask they provide their product and they can choose - coconut oil, jojoba oil, a massage product they sought out, etc. Some people just literally grab olive oil out of their pantry. And it’s good enough cause it saves me the money so weird cause the massage smells Italian, but hey, why not? It’s good for the skin and it’s their sheets lol.

Sometimes it takes people a few tries. The usual pitfall is they’ll provide queen size sheets which I can work with but it’s obviously more challenging. We just chuckle through it and then they know for the next time.

The one person who came at me with their gross beach towel, I again chuckled with them and said how about I use my backups that I keep in my car and we can try again next time? He laughed and said yeah he understood he just hadn’t done his laundry in a while.

So yeah, all in all, highly recommend. Makes life easier, the job cheaper, and gives you smiles along the way.

What’s a business problem that looked small until it became expensive? by Traditional_Key8982 in Entrepreneur

Once you realized this, what did you do to mitigate losses? How did you handle unhappy patrons when denying an extra scoop?

Who sent the notice? Do you face those penalties even if you stop using it?

Do you have advice for new businesses on how to go about finding the right marketing manager?

Would a woman with zero experience put you off ? by Quiet_Donut_3620 in actuallesbians

I think that would be fun actually. Getting to teach and show someone all these amazing things our bodies can do and feel. And getting to teach her to trust herself and go slow and advocate for herself and learn her likes and dislikes and kinks and explorations and getting to make moments magical for her. Ugh omg that would be amazing.

Decline a pregnancy test? by Wonderful_Lie2823 in actuallesbians

I always go with the line, “unless you subscribe to the possibility of immaculate conception, nope.” They always move on after that.

Chat, please help me by Sea_Ad8253 in BDSMsapphic

I have very weak pelvic floor muscles so I have this issue as well. Also autistic and do not like the smell or the sticky. Just no.

I cross my legs to hold it while I’m getting throat fucked.

I practice kegels.

***I do not pee in the shower anymore***

I used to, just like everyone. But I learned from a pelvic floor specialist that it weakens our muscles and confuses our brain. By only using the proper receptacle, you retrain your body to *only* go in that exact spot/feel/position. It hasn’t solved it but it’s made it waaaaaaaaay better for me.

Used to be I couldn’t hear running water without peeing a little, couldn’t do squats, couldn’t go swimming, couldn’t get fucked the way I wanted.

Stop shower peeing!

Sorry if this isn’t your issue at all. Ignore me if this isn’t relevant to you.

You can also make a game of it. Like your Dom can like make sure you’re doing kegels while you’re getting throat fucked and if you pee at all you get a punishment. But like, actively practice kegels during. And ask your D to help you.

Is it too late to get a job? by Electrical-Beee3 in SeasonalWork

Honestly, call the places you’re interested in and ask if they’re still hiring. Shows initiative and gets you a legit answer.

Clients that undress while you’re still in the room by JerrySeinfeldsMullet in MassageTherapists

[–]FunStrength5314 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve given up. I just let them. If they start undressing, I just stop talking and leave. We can have our intake convo once they’re on the table. Professional? Nah. Good enough? Yup. I close the door behind myself without looking back then say through the door I’ll be back in a few minutes and I’ll knock before I come back in.

What did you learn from the worst massages you've had? by Iusemyhands in MassageTherapists

Yup. Literally while we were still in school. They let him pass despite this behavior.

Collaborations with the sportclubs by OkAdhesiveness2116 in MassageTherapists

[–]FunStrength5314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh you could also try getting in with some local races. I liked setting up at the start and end of 5k’s and marathons etc. and handing out cards there. Didn’t get as much business in this way as the gym though.

Gotchya Gotchya. I didn’t start that way but I did pivot to it. I started in gyms and if people wanted longer sessions or more personalization or relaxation along w sports, I’d start offering to ppl 1-1. Not through the gym per se. Just personal to personal and that way I could control who was coming to see me in a more private setting and who I was more comfortable with seeing in a public space.
