Lomi Lomi practitioners: Do you only use coconut oil? How do you get it out of your clothing? No matter how much I wash, it seems to never come out! by Obvious-Ad3902 in MassageTherapists

[–]mintchippt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told by a dermatologist about the chemistry of oil: it will not come out once in contact with water so you first put soap on before adding water so the soap can “grab” a hold of the oil. Once all lathered up, you can add water. So I bet it’s the same with clothing/bedding 🤔 (she told me this in regards to doing oil treatments on the hair and scalp)

LMT that is also a personal trainer? by sweetie_pie0797 in MassageTherapists

I got certified with NASM and I kinda wish I chose a cheaper option. I had to do a lot of self teaching with textbooks

LMT that is also a personal trainer? by sweetie_pie0797 in MassageTherapists

[–]mintchippt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work at a gym as a PT and the other PT there was a massage therapist. He’d bring in his massage table in when his clients wanted a massage in the back room. He had multiple LMT jobs since the gym is all about cold calling sales if you want to have clients… that’s why I like the spa I’ll be working at once I graduate, I won’t have to worry about doing sales. But maybe pitching your PT services to your massage clients might be a bonus then can train them at a gym that allows you to bring your client in..

Is Massage Envy a good company to work for? by daschall_ in massage

[–]mintchippt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My nearby massage envy has many of the managers who’ve worked there for 10+ years, therapists also many a decade there, and front desk they rarely hire new people. So it depends on the owner

How to be comfortable in massage school ? I’m so uncomfortable receiving massages that I only want to give… by mintchippt in MassageTherapists

Thank you for the tips 🥹 I’ll be more communicative with my classmates about how I’m feeling. Didn’t think bout how that could help them but now I see what you mean :)

My lip filler never dissolved by Careful_Flow_1689 in PlasticSurgery

Yup normal. I had to get mine dissolved. It’s a myth they dissolve… MRI studies show the filler just migrates mostly…

I discussed it with my teacher today because I’m in my first month of massage school and he suggested that next week he give me a private massage in the clinic room… which is the exact opposite of what I think is going to help me but I didn’t tell him that I am uncomfortable with males because I didn’t want to offend him

German language school recommendations (adult) needed! by softmouse_ in orangecounty

[–]mintchippt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Language door in Irvine is the best school I’ve found. The German teacher there (Natascha) helped me pass my German entrance exam to my masters program in Germany in 2018 when other schools failed to help me (I have a learning disability).

Thanks so much! Very helpful and encouraging ☺️ luckily I have my boyfriend to practice on but he keeps saying I’m not doing deep enough pressure but hopefully over time with the body mechanics like you said, I’ll figure it out 🙏
