She is awesome, maybe she should kick me a couple of times when she is done or something, I want to buy her a house and spend the rest of my life serving her. HELPHow do you not fall in love with your massage therapist?
It is common. It is called transference. You are projecting your early childhood needs onto her. I would recommend getting therapy. It isn't that it is wrong to feel that way- it is just showing you what you didn't get early in life.
It happens in professional relationships like this alot.How do you not fall in love with your massage therapist?
Yeah, I get marriage proposals all the time! Just yesterday a client asked, ';Will you marry me? My wife won't mind!';
Here's the painful reality of it all: Guess who in my life gets the LEAST amount of massage, like maybe just feet %26amp; hands every two months? My significant other! The last thing I want to do after a hard day of work is to come home and work some more. No way. He massages me!
You can keep from falling in love with her by remembering that if you weren't paying her, she wouldn't massage you...maybe ever again...and she might even bite your head off just for asking!
LMAO. Awesome question. I don't know, man. Try to remember that it's just her job, and she does it for everyone, even old scary fat guys.
please help me with my problem:

If want to do her a favor find another therapist and then ask her out if you still are interested. It makes things ethical and legal and save her a bunch of grief. Do her that favor. Good luck and have a great day!

What is the best brand of shoes for a massage therapist?
What brand of shoe is comfortable enough to be worn all day for such an active job?What is the best brand of shoes for a massage therapist?
Birkenstocks..............What is the best brand of shoes for a massage therapist?
Everyone's feet are different. What works for me may not work for you. Wear what works for your feet.
Just found a new store, ';The Walking Store';. They should be able to help you. I teach school and have a bone spur. I just bought some Ecco sandals for a lot of walking in France with students. Tres bon!

How can we find him a job as a massage therapist?
Asking for my husband who is an insured and licensed CMT in the Denver area.... he can't seem to find a job :(
We really need him to be working as we are floundering in debt from paying for him to go to school and being out of work for a year.
Seems everyone wants a female therapist or we are marketing wrong. Please give us some ideas for finding work or going into business for his own.
Thanks!How can we find him a job as a massage therapist?
It can be more difficult as a male massage therapist in Denver. Many have started out by working part time (and their own practice) at clubs, clinics, chiropractic offices. You might check Stanley Lake Massage Therapy as a potential employer.How can we find him a job as a massage therapist?
See if he can subcontract with your local gym, tennis house, hockey arena, et al.
Also, when they have the ';girls night out'; at the local high schools, set up a table with discount coupons - perhaps with his massage table set up and someone there, to show women that it's not so scary.
I would also stress on how, because of a man's upper body strength, things like shoulder massages are more effective - focus on the things he can do better.

I want to be a massage therapist, How do I volunteer?
I want to volunteer to make sure it's something that I want to do before I invest my money in it.I want to be a massage therapist, How do I volunteer?
Yes, I'd avoid volunteering for a multiple of reasons. However, I would suggest you put your hands on a few people (with their permission) just to see if you actually like touching strangers.
Sometimes this can be a real stumbling block for some.
Try this website for a few more answers about what it's like to be a massage therapist:
http://www.a-body-for-living.com/I want to be a massage therapist, How do I volunteer?
I wouldn't volunteer you might find yourself in a weird position. Try talking to people in the field and see what they say. Giving a person an hour massage won't inform you about a career field, speak with someone.
You can't volunteer, you have to be trained and licensed to give massage. You can, however, sign up for weekend workshops or seminars in your area and that might give you an idea of what massage is like.
I will tell you that it is very hard on your body and that you have to keep yourself in great shape and eat healthy.
You can sign up with massageexchange.com, where you volunteer to exchange massages with someone. You may find qualified professionals that will be interested in helping you if they think you are sincere, or amateurs that share your interests but have more experience. There are sure to be creeps too, but I've never had a problem. If you're female, I'd stick with other woman to start with.

Massage therapists.. when is the national renewal? oct 2010?
I am a new massage therapist and just last year (2008) was the renewal for my state license...I am wondering when I need all my credits for the renewal of the national cert. I think it is in 2010. Is that correct? and is it 48 credits for national and (im in MD) 26 credits for state? Thanks so much! :)Massage therapists.. when is the national renewal? oct 2010?
You would have to contact the NCBTMB and your state board. You may not have to renew your National Certification to be licensed. I personally don't think it is worth it and the NCBTMB is going down the tubes fast. But you may need it for your massage license.eye liner

I'm a licensed massage therapist, what do I have to do to get my clients massages covered by insurance?
I've been a therapist for three years, and finally got to open my own business. Where I was before ( a chiropractic office), the clients could get the massages covered by insurance. I found out that even though I'm on my own now, I can still do that. Does anyone know how to get that started?I'm a licensed massage therapist, what do I have to do to get my clients massages covered by insurance?
It only covers massage if people are injured or have some disease or condition that massage could help. You can bill for car accidents and workmans comp in most states. To get a HMO or PPO to pay you should start writing to your insurance commissioner to get them to change the laws so that ins. companies have to allow you to be contracted providers. That is what we did in WA State.I'm a licensed massage therapist, what do I have to do to get my clients massages covered by insurance?
Basically, it won't be easy. Most insurance companies DO NOT want to pay for massages, for obvious reasons (it costs them money!).
Really you will have to tell your clients what to tell their doctors. Like 'my back pain is really bad but I don't want to take pills...is there any other option?' Stuff like that. It might be fibbing a little...but seriously, people need massages, it helps with stress and everything and it should be covered by insurance so why not fib a bit.
You found that out from what source? Realistically, you'd have to get yourself listed as a health care provider with major medical insurers. I'm not sure that your profession qualifies if not under the care of a chiropractor or other health care professional?
Check insurance companies offers. In Uk you need to have liability insurance, not so expensive and very useful.
You have to call each of the insurance companies, and get a provider contract with them.

How much does it pay to be a massage therapist?
I was considering going to school to be a massage therapist...I was wondering if anyone knew approx. how much that profession makes?How much does it pay to be a massage therapist?
Anywhere from $1500/mo to $4000/mo gross pay. It all depends the location (city, hospital or clinic vs spa and how many hrs and days/wk you're willing to work).
You should research this career in this site
http://www.thehighschoolgraduate.com/edi鈥?/a>
You might want to check into physical therapy for a more recognized and better paying career.How much does it pay to be a massage therapist?
I agree what Sheila H says is a reality check and she does it part time. The combination of massage therapy and being a licensed physical therapist could be a great combination.
You can increase your take home pay by adding happy ending to your service list.
It depends on your talent %26amp; personality. You can make $60.00 to $100.00 per massage (depend on time involved). Working for a spa as an employee is safer and you can make $45,000 a year (salary %26amp; tips)
America's Job Bank website has great information on all careers including salary, outlook, job descriptions, highest paid, etc.
NO MUCH I am one and have been for 30 years. If you work for a spa or health club etc... they may charge 60 to 80 bucks an hour and you might get 30.00 of it. it's impossible to do 8 one hour massages per day so if you do 3 massages you make 90.00 bucks. but somedays you might do 3 and somedays not one person will have a massage wich will leave you with O, ziltch.
I have worked at home for tha past 10 years and charge only 35.00 per hour, but maybe 5 or 6 a week you can't live on that, I Ido it part time.
How ever much you want to charge within reason as well as how well you market yourself. Are you planning on running your own business or do you want to work at a spa or something?
Call around and ask other therapists how much they charge and how many clients they see on average per week. That should give you enough information to do the math and have a more accurate estimation.
Good Luck! And if you are in Ohio, look me up, I could use a good massage
