This may be an unpopular opinion, but I don’t want to work with just anyone. Like most business owners, when I first started out, I would bend over backwards to have literally anyone work with me. But over time I’ve learned my business runs better and my clients end up happier when I set specific boundaries. Here are some things that disqualify someone from being a good fit for me.
• Questioning my policies - All of my policies are in place to protect myself as well as my clients. They are non-negotiable and every client must sign off on them before coming in for treatment.
• Saying I’m too expensive - I get it, times are tough for a lot of people, myself included. However, I price myself fairly for my expertise and experience. My pricing isn’t the issue, bodywork just can’t always be a priority in everyone’s budget. While I’m always open to bartering, I’m not in the position to work for free or partial pay, so please don’t ask that of me.
• Disrespect/Bigotry - In case it wasn’t clear, myself and therefore, my business, will always support BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, immigrants, and houseless individuals. Hateful speech, slurs, or actions of any kind, especially those directed at marginalized communities, will not be tolerated anywhere near me or my practice. If you can’t respect that, do not book with me.
• Requesting modalities that I don’t offer - There’s nothing wrong with having preferences. However, my business is based off of my education and expertise and my treatment options reflect that. I promise that there are plenty of skilled massage therapists out there that offer what you’re looking for.
• Frequent rescheduling - I have a cancellation policy set in place, but what about those repeat offenders that continually cancel/reschedule just outside of the 24 hour window? I do my best to be understanding of my client’s personal lives and busy schedules, however, I do not wish to work with anyone who doesn’t value my time and energy.
If you’ve made it through the list and none of these apply to you, GREAT! I hope that I get the chance to work with you soon! Book your appointment at the link in my bio
