Guest guest Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 I am seeking information about massage therapy so that I may make a decision about whether this would be a career for me or not. the first question I have is: How difficult is it for a massage therapist to get work? The second question I have is how much typically does a massage therapist make? I would like to point out that I realize that I can find statistical data which addresses these question, however I would like to hear an answer from someone(s) who has done it and who knows this information first hand.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Jason, I would love to tell you that it is all great. I have been a massage therapist for a while and own and operate my own mobile massage company. It has been good to me, but the start up is the hardest part for my first year I was in the red. It takes a while and a lot of networking to make a succesfull practice. The other down fall is it is harder for a man to succed in this bussiness because people think that women are more professional than men. With time though this can be overcame. The best advice I can give is study all your options and prepare yourself for the long road ahead. I promise it will be worth it in the long run. I love my carrer and all that comes with it. My drive to help people is stronger than any negativity that I have encountered. Just make sure that you have a strong want to truly make a difference. Other than that go for it bro and if you need any help feel free to email me. I can help to answer any questions that you may have. Good luck in your persuit.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Jason.. I whole heartedly second what Jeremy wrote..My fiance and I do massage and it is true that for men it is harder to get clientel at first but I am sure if you are good with what you do it will grow in time,,We also see massage as a theraputic healing avenue, and what we have found is that if you add other healing modalities it will speed up the business growth process, there are many good ones out there, look at www.oryanshealingcentre.com and see what we do and it might give you some ideas.. Good luck.. Peace Jack , jeremy dawson <jerdaw66> wrote: > > Jason, > I would love to tell you that it is all great.
