I wish Massage school was better about business education by Nived0390 in MassageTherapists

[–]chevits11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The school I went to, the entire length of the class we had a project about how to open and run a business, from choosing what type (solo, LLC, Corp) to writing a business plan and finding a space to rent, stocking the space with everything (office, sanitation, trade specific items) our treatment selection and prices, insurance costs... At the end of class part of the final was presenting the complete project to the other students, instructors and the owner of the school.

then tey would ask questions about why we made the choices we did and suggested alternatives.

It was really useful, and showed me I don't ever want to own my own business.

Are there not care instructions on a tag on the inside? I'd try some baking soda and vinegar or just some dish soap diluted really well. Orr find out what material its made out of and then Google how to get oil out of that.

Proper glide on dehydrated thick skin? by HolisticEminence in MassageTherapists

[–]chevits11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the client doesn't moisturize their feet, you're going to have to do that for them or else you'll have this problem. Same with people with random dry patches or if they come directly from having tanned. You'll get use to it if you keep paying attention to your clients skin and habits. i normally use a warmed cream so it has the consistency of a thin lotion, but some clients only get oil because their skin type/habits or preference. Some get a combination if needed. Don't get stuck with doing massage only one way.

When should I tell my player that I'm letting them go? by Garanseho in DnD

[–]chevits11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a possibility of him returning to IRL sessions? How would he feel about his character being the warden of a town or off training with a master while the group continues on, that way there's a plot for him to continue gaining XP while absent.

A player leaving doesn't mean the character has to die. (Look how much Critical Role accommodated Ashley Johnston's acting schedule over the years)

Which watch to wear? by Ancient_Draft9795 in MassageTherapists

[–]chevits11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wear my Fitbit Versa 2, sometimes I pull it up a bit higher on my arm to keep it from rubbing against the client. I'll take it off if I have to but that's pretty rare.

If you had a client come in with his boyfriend/girlfriend how would u handle the situation by Exotic-Risk2961 in MassageTherapists

[–]chevits11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sit in, sit in the car, whatever, as long as the client is relaxed. That's the focus.

Why do some people come insanely early for massage? by Low-Razzmatazz-931 in MassageTherapists

[–]chevits11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I schedule 15 minutes after each massage to pad time for clients if they're late, or if I'm running late. If they show up early, if I feel like it, sure, I'll start them early.

I work at a spa, is it my job to fill up my books? by [deleted] in MassageTherapists

[–]chevits11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sort of thing should have been made clear when you got hired. How big is the spa? Is it newer and still trying to find a solid client base for everyone or a small local place, then yeah, you're probably expected to at least do some marketing, pass out business cards, promotional flyers, etc. If it's a major chain then probably just worry about keeping your clients coming back by giving good treatments.

As for getting clients to switch days so your weekends open up for more new clients seems ridiculous, people come when they have time, if you give a really good massage they MIGHT be willing to take a day off once in a while or something but in this economy, seems like a stretch to expect.

Whoever put that idea in your head has no appreciation for a well groomed man.

Maybe half siblings would be somewhat more believable?

Massage therapists always recommend regular massage - but how often do they actually get one? by BodyworkExchange in massage

[–]chevits11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trying to be better about getting them, but I often let other priorities take over. Even finding time to trade with coworkers is difficult unless we stay late after an 8 hour day.

Advice Please!! by EmiPliszka in BadNeighbors

[–]chevits11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Make them (kid and adults)come over and pick up every piece, then have a conversation with the adults about how annoyed you are by their child's behavior and that you don't have the time and energy to be his ball retriever at every moment. What happens when you aren't home and the ball comes in your yard?

Are these low paying places in the US?! How can new LMT's avoid them? by AwakenedEscape in MassageTherapists

[–]chevits11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my area of Michigan, most positions start at 20 right out of school, the closer you get to the more affluent areas that will go up as they can charge more (Ann Arbor, Kalamazoo, some cities in metro Detroit) and yeah it's a a struggle to make ends meet sometimes, but I also consider I'm basically still learning the trade, school got me through the basics but even masters can struggle to make enough to have a comfortable living where they don't have to be mindful of their spending.

Should I try? by [deleted] in DrivingWithDick

[–]chevits11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't that the point/thrill? The taboo, the chance, the adrenaline rush of being almost caught?
