FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Corporate chair massage events differ in price range than a mobile table massage service. I charge $55/hr per therapist, and a $25 one time travel fee for each therapist each day of service. So it gets a little complicated figuring out how many therapists a company needs depending on how many employees need to be treated and how long they want their sessions (15 minutes is average). I schedule 5 minutes in between each client as well, so every 20 minutes a person is getting massaged. Break times are not included in charges, but intervals are.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
It's required by law that all state licensed massage professionals take 16 CEU's every 2 years, and I am up to date on mine. I usually learn courses involving: medical massage, neuromuscular therapy, deep tissue massage, trigger-point therapy, and sports massage. As a massage instructor RMTI-S I'm required to take more CEU's than an LMT, so I have all my T's crossed and all my I's dotted.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
When I was 15 yrs. old I was involved in a car accident which has changed my life forever. I have since had 3 back and neck surgeries related to that accident. A lot of my rehabilitation involved massage therapy, so I learned at a young age how important it was to get them. Even by the age of 5 I was massaging my friends and family, so I guess my profession started then, and it's always been a part of who I am.
