OK, I have one. Please, Please PLEASE don't call me a masseuse. I am not a masseuse--- I am a massage therapist. Yes, masseuse is french for massage "woman who practices massage", but I will let Julie explain it:
"The words masseuse and masseur were once valid terms for describing a person who does massage on people for a profession. More recently the words are more associated with people doing massage out of a massage parlor which also was once a valid term for a place of massage.
These words are now more associated with people who are engaging in prostitution or other illegal acts.
Massage Therapist more accurately describes a professional massage therapist who does massage for relaxation along with doing massage for injuries, athletes and others. Massage Therapists are usually trained in the art and science of massage."
