When you hear massage... what is the first thing that pops into your head? Is it relaxation? Does your muscles begin to melt at the sound of the word?
I honestly can tell you that when I hear the word massage, I kind of cringe. Why? Because since I moved to Europe, I have had my fair share of crappy massages. I don't think of relaxation, I think of how much my body is in pain and the "therapist" will once again neglect it. Of course when I talk to people about massage, I think of MY work as a massage therapist and I get happy talking about what I have been able to do for my clients. I also become envious of my clients because I don't have anyone to massage me like I do, lol!
I thought about this because I get mixed responses when I tell people I am a massage therapist. I get people who smile and ask for my number... then I have those that are like "oh well, okay."
It's hard to get away from introducing myself as a massage therapist... I would like to say something like:
"Hi, my name is Sandy Black. I work with muscles therapeutically to reduce tension and contractions using various techniques such as hot stones and deep pressure."
Something like that, lol!
I hope that my clients think those happy thoughts when they tell others about me and my work--- and if you haven't seen me, maybe you should!!
