1. Please do share about your background in a nutshell.
I started my career by managing my family’s daycare and tuition center, where I worked with children every day. It was a fruitful but tiring job.
I often went for massages to give me the relaxation that I need and to relieve my muscle pain. I soon discovered that massage can bring many benefits be it for physical or mental health. I thought to myself then, why not become a massage therapist? That way, I could help more people to feel better and yet, I get to earn money at the same time.
So, I began taking up courses and learning various massage techniques. Once I feel confident enough, I started offering home-based massage services. I’m happy with what I do now because I have a stable income, I get to make new friends through my customers, and most importantly, I can help people to feel lighter (in their stress level and body ache) and being happy.
2. Do you have a preferred massage modality? Any reason for that?
My preferred massage modality is Swedish massage because it is a gentler technique but yet, it can help to soothe muscle tension and lessening stress, which everyone needs. Compared to other techniques, Swedish massage suits my personality more which then makes it easier for me to perform.
3. What is the weirdest request you ever get from a client before, during or after a session?
The weirdest request I’ve received perhaps not that different from many home based therapist, is asking if I offer any sexual services during the massage. I always tell them that my place is strictly for professional full-body massage and there is no sexual services offer.
4. Let’s turn it the other way around, instead of client always requesting this and that from you, what would you request of your client when comes to massage? Or what is your one wish on customer if you are granted one?
Every day, I get the chance to meet with different people, and I always hope they come with a good attitude and are not too fussy. I’m here to help to relieve their tension and stress. I will do my best to ensure they will have a pleasant experience.
5. What is your advice or word of wisdom to aspiring massage therapist?
✅Be professional
✅Keep learning and continue to improve
✅Be Happy and passionate with what we do
6. Any other things you would like to share or add?
As a massage therapist, it’s important to be in a good mood during a session because the customer can feel our energy. If we’re not in a good mood, it is better to take a break and rest rather than to push ourself and continue with our work. Staying calm and positive help to provide the best experience for our customer.
