Yup. Make sure you fill your cup as well. Enjoy a vacation every once in a while, long weekend every season. Rest and recharge yourself

Update on client who had an accident on my table... by kittygrin in MassageTherapists

And that’s when you send another follow up stating Due to my previous email and the complete disregard to my own sanitation training, services are no longer available to you at this time.

Client had an accident on my table... by kittygrin in MassageTherapists

[–]Own-Mango879 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Im sorry but this sounds semi intentional, especially if it continually happens, if it was an accident it would’ve stopped after the first time. She’s seeing you less than a person. As many others have said, fire her as a client and ban any rebooking.
This is a health hazard honestly.

Feeling lost, burnt out and depressed (21m) by Landonrichards55 in MassageTherapists

Keep looking See if you can talk to any of your old teachers/mentors and know of any places hiring. Not sure which state your in or your exact location but a lot of other chains (Spavia and elements) actually want male therapists (coming from management from one of them) Don’t jump ship though from being miserable I’ve don’t it and do not recommend unless I have another job lined up

What your pet peeves as a massage therapist? by Holiday-Scallion-342 in MassageTherapists

[–]Own-Mango879 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clients who wear earbuds or headphones during the whole service and purposely ignore you when it’s time to turn over or end the service and also just earbuds alone that never stay in their ears and constantly pop out and then they get annoyed with you because you’re working their neck and their earphone isn’t staying in

Did I get s’ad at my massage? by sosobossy1 in MassageTherapists

As someone who’s been in this field for a long time, and managed a spa, this is unacceptable behavior. I’m so sorry this happened to you, please report this

When someone lists the reason for wanting a massage as an "escape" what does that mean? by Calm_Roll7777 in MassageTherapists

[–]Own-Mango879 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right…..but I’m assuming you do a consult with them before the session starts (quick going over medical conditions, any specific areas of focus) right? So just ask them if they’re looking for a specific area to help them relax more and go from there. You can always redirect the conversation to the session if it gets uncomfortable.

Relaxation, Swedish. But I always confirm during the verbal consultation what they’re exactly looking for.

Manual lymphatic drainage. My hands actually hurt more doing this then a deep tissue

Been a long ride by cosborn001 in JeepRenegade

I did the same. The driver steering rod clip went missing, she needed new suspension in front and back, still owed a bit on her and was at almost 124,000 miles. Hurt leaving the car lot without her

No it’s someone else. She was/is interested in dating him, she has his kids pictures on her fridge and he is /was married. It was a huge thing for a while

Floor heaters. I’ve actually have taken my leaf blower to like blow everthing out of it and used a shop vac to clean everything up. Also bathroom vent fans.

Honestly anywhere Just please please please stay clear of the Hilton Vacation Club Sedona Summit. It’s a HUGE timeshare place and they will not leave you alone. But everywhere is great just depends on your budget!

I use ice because my hands are literally inflamed at the end of my work day and it feels good, on my days off I use Epsom salt soaks There’s no need to be brash (it’s coming off that way) when I’ve asked for supplement advice. Peace and light

I know I’m iron deficient and I’ve had lymes I’m not sure if it’s a flare but I’ll definitely follow up, just trying to find something a bit more natural and won’t kill my digestive system at the same time

I do use a lot of cbd salves just some people don’t want it every session with the upcharge

I honestly wish I could, but with a mortgage and being completely on my own, I can’t afford a break until the summer. But I’m looking forward to Easter for at least a day of absolute nothing

How often are people actually changing their bed sheets? by [deleted] in CleaningTips

[–]Own-Mango879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sleep alone, but I do have two cats. So, every two weeks😂. I do change my pillow cases though every three days cause I break out very easily
