FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I take continuing education classes on a regular basis, above and beyond state minimum requirement. In Arizona, a massage therapist only needs 25 hours every two years to renew their license. I generally do about 25+ hours a year. And I am willing to take any class that I need to so I can best serve my clients. For example, I have a client that got pregnant and I took 3 pregnancy massage classes, a post-partum massage class and an infant massage class.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
When looking for a massage therapist compare not only their prices but the quality of work and the quality of products they use. If they are discounting the price they have to cut corners somewhere; length of time, quality of product, quality of work, etc. It is a good idea to ask what products they use and the length of time the massage is because some places/therapists use cheap products and give less than a full hour massage regardless of the price they charge. I use top quality all natural products, I base my decisions to use a product on the quality not the price or how much of a profit I can make from it. I give a full hour massage, and provide a very detailed massage. Most of my clients have told me that my massage was one of the best they have ever recieved.
- What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
Not all massage therapists are created equal, some are really good, some are good and some are not so good. That places that charge very low prices are cutting corners somewhere (length of time, quality of product, quality of work, etc.) and that you generally get what you pay for. It is always good to ask what products they use and the length of time of the massage, because even places that charge more will still use cheap products and not give a full hour of massage. Also, every therapist is different in their style, techniques and touch. And that not every massage therapist is for every person.
