How to Begin and Uplevel as a Therapist
Manage episode 324843041 series 2971292
Every massage therapist has wondered at some point WHY their client disappeared never to return. Everyone who has ever had high hopes for getting a decent massage has sadly been disappointed (or dare I say it - HURT) at least once. Then there are some therapists who find their business becoming so successful they cant cope with the rapid influx of clients. And others who have got unbelievably long standing relationships with their clients for one reason alone.
In this weeks episode we are talking WELLNESS in a deep sense of the word. For many years it has been my passion to raise the standards of massage. I have been injured too many times (broken ligaments and ribs as an example) by well meaning but poorly trained practitioners. It was clear they had gone down the cheap and fast route to being qualified (and nearly got themselves sued as a result).
As a teacher with over 3 decades of experience what I can do is help create a new narrative and prevent harm in our industry.
I believe wellness starts with the therapist being well (not straining or burning out) and the client having a tailored treatment that makes them snore and dribble. Why right now is THE time to become a massage therapist - adding to your skills so you can seamlessly grow a client base of super fans
My personal journey - from abuse and drug taking - to being the founder of London Institute of Thai Yoga Massage and a published author
I also talk candidly about abuse and trauma and the charity work I have done over the years to support clients in hospitals in tragic circumstances
I am sure if you are in the wellness industry you have your own journey connecting you to your WHY and my hope is that this episode will inspire you to go deeper - this world needs more healers and therapists right now
Finally, I teach you a little about the 5 Buddhist elements covering some basics about what might be your element type - water, fire or wind and HOW Thai Massage therapists can tailor treatments to suit you so you never have to experience the pain of wasting your money on a treatment again
