Hi wpjl69,\nWith all of that why would you ask us? You sound very smart and can make that choice on your own. But since you did ask us I say Denver or New York. Good Luck: Blueladybug

The masseuses that make the most money are those who build their own clientele they see in home or at the clients house. There is no split between you and a salon or spa for the money you make. You also need to be product savvy. Many people want to 'accessorize' their massage experience by purchasing the oil.lotion you use, candles, relaxation Cd's, body wraps, etc, etc... Merchandising will make you lots of money. Being great at what you do will always be a big help!

Hi,.... If you are talking about a traditional Swedish Massage,...  there is a therapuetic routine that is taught when you are in school. That routine is designed to help to most efficiently flush the Lymphatic system and venous blood flow in the body. \n\nThat is a routine that you need to learn in order to graduate from school,... but it is not a requirement of giving a good massage. ... In my opinion,.. if you are able to "Be Present" in your hands,.... and you have learned good technique for handling the body you are working on, and how to move your own body in a most efficient manner while giving a massage,.... you should be fine.  ............ Of course, these are the things that you are in school to learn,.. and that just takes time and practice.\n\n.... In my opinion,. the thing that makes the difference between a really good massage and a mediocre one,.. is how much "presence",.. the therapist has in his or her hands. ... A good therapists hands are their eyes. .......... In fact,.. in Japan,.. the best shiatsu practitioners are blind. ... They "feel" their work,.. rather than see it or think about how to do it.  ........... When you have learned the fundamental skills of the trade and you have become more familiar with the body,.... eventually your skill as a massage therapist will become much more of an "intuitive" and feeling one,.. rather than a clinical one,... In my opinion,.. this is the thing that makes the difference between a really "good massage",.. and a mediocre one.\n\nYou are very much a beginner,... give it time. ... You very possibly will not really begin to feel solidly confident with your work until some months after you have finished school and have been working in the profession for a whiile. ... but this is how it  is with most professions.\n\nIt is also a very very good idea to recieve some massage sessions from some really good and experienced therapists. Your body will learn alot from "feeling" what a good massage feels like. This will help you to translate that into the massage you give to others. .......... You should be able to find at least a couple of really good therapists amongst the teachers in your school,.. and you should be able to purchase a few sessions from them. ... They may even likely give you a discount on the cost.

Where you live? Find out if you have a school of massage therapy near by, in the clinic they give massage for the price of nothing. If you go to a spa it might cost you about 65$ to 100, but if you find a school with a clinic where students are doing their intership it might cost you only 25 to 30 dollars.\nGood luck

I live in New Hampshire.. and I am a energy healer and aromatherapy, plus ma sages and here there is no real regulation for massages.. though it would be good to get your certification that way if you decide to move to another state you will be covered. To take the test you can use the time you have been doing it as credit which is really better then any school.. So I say take the test it for the sky is the limit in the Field.

I know a few people that are licensed but couldnt build up a clientele so now they work other jobs and only their spouses benefit from the degree. \n\nIt is a word of mouth business and most people that get massages on a regular basis stick to the same person and dont want to switch. \n\nUnless you can secure a job at a salon and they can garauntee you a good number of jobs i would look at another carrer.

Ask yourself the following questions:\n\n- Think of why a customer would want to hire you instead of them going to the gym? Convenience may be the best reason, but what about equipment?\n\n- What will the client get from signing up with your classes? What is the VALUE or that extra something that they can get from you and not from a typical gym?\n\n- Will you be the trainer who trains everybody (housewives, CEO, etc.) or will you specialize in one niche?\n\n- What will your training focus be? Will you be training Pilates, or doing kickboxing?\n\n- What will your hours be? Are you willing to train someone at 6 am, or another at 10 pm? Or will you stick to a conventional 9-5 schedule?\n\n- What is your experience? How well known are you in the field of fitness in your area? It is easier to get clients if gym-loving customers already know you as one of the best gym instructors in town\n\nIf your market is big, you define your business carefully, pick your USP Unique Selling Proposition, and take good care of clients, I think you stand a great chance at succeeding.\n\nFor some great tips on customer service, see the article 'Personal Training: 6 Secrets of Award Winning Customer Service' at the following URL: http://www.completepersonaltrainingbusiness.com/article2.html

Can you explain what you mean, please?  Do you want to become a massage therapist, or find one in your area or do you want to know what they do, or do you want to find out how to report one for inappropriate behaviour?  Your question isn't quite complete enough.

I have been told its best to go to a massage theropist first then go to chiropracator because the massage theropist relaxes the musles and its better for the chiropactor to adjust you  then but if you go to massage therpist that maybe all you will need

Tell them YOU will pay THEM and they MIGHT come in.\n\nIt is almost impossible to find a guy that gives massages to women who does not do SOMETHING creepy.\nEven my yoga instructor, a really nice guy, who give massages very cheap to women who take his classes, sticks his fingers in the women's ears I am told. This is NOT part of a real massage. I do not want any man sticking his fingers in my ears or any other part of my body.\n\nMen just cannot be trusted in a situation like this, sadly.\nIt's too bad because men have much stronger hands and a good massage by a man would be wonderful, but I don't trust ANY of them.

look for a job with a multi-national corp where you live now,  and ask to be transferred to a USA office? Hotels are good for that. Hyatt, etc.
