Necessary Massage Therapy

I want to let you all know where I am with my massage business:

I used to get $35/$40 an hour for a session. Now with my own regular clients and the auto clients I'm like $80 an hour. It's cool but it's still meh. The consistent clients I have are few. Meeting strangers through apps is ok but very inconsistent. With my own auto clients I can make real and consistent money. Even just one would put me on. Getting a website and some marketing would be ok... but it's like fishing for one kind of a rare fish in a big pond.

Massage is niche, it's female preferred, and auto massage is very niche. I'm blessed to have my connect it's so niche. At this point my plan is to 1 catch up on bills and 2 reinvest in my business again for marketing. But once that pole is cast it can take QUITE some time until I get my own auto clients. Even then, good auto clients are rare because some fall out or auto insurance companies don't want to pay so now we go to court. Again, I'm blessed with my connect.

I think I'm going to cast this pole and go to college. If I can do a dual degree for physical therapy and chiropractology I could be unstoppable. Men get more respect in those fields and the fields themselves have more respect overall. And 4 years after I cast that poll I could be in a nice position with clients and have my degrees!

I'm just not into trying to pedal massage to strangers or people I know. It's too much nickel and diming to me for just $80 a session. Most people get in accidents and get surgeries, see PTs, sometimes get chiropractic work. Yeah, by the time they get to me I fix their issue. But people aren't looking for the massage therapist. In five years I can be the one stop shop with degrees to put respect on my name and show people what they've been missing at the back of the line. When people give me a chance I rock their world but I can't wait for people to see me for what I am, even if I market myself.

It's time to go back to my 2019 mentality and get hungry again. Spring I'm catching up on bills, Summer I'll start marketing 😒(I don't want to because I'd rather just do the work than work asking to work), by Fall I may be enrolled and, hey, maybe finally have my first auto insurance client billed by my own company. If that happens make sure you have socks ready in 4 years because they're getting knocked tf off! Thanks for reading.

Once this bill is passed it will be easier for massage therapists to take their practice to other states that comply with the bill. Human trafficking has put a lot of limitations on this field. The result is people not seeing massage for the NECESSITY that it is. Without massage the trauma and blockages in our bodies go unchecked. This leads to all of our diseases. Soon everyone will be able to receive the benefits without certain state limitations. You'll be able to fly the country's best therapists to your door. A LMT can share their gifts with people all over the country. Maybe relocate the family. This makes so many possibilities!

I often start a massage at the feet if a person spends most of their time standing. The tension misaligns the joints. This process radiates up to the ankle, knee, hip, entire back, neck, and even all the way to the jaw. Imagine a sheet on a bed: even pulling a little from one corner affects every corner. The "sheet" in our body is called fascia and it wraps around every muscle and organ. When done right, foot massages are therapeutic so long as your therapist knows how to work them without tickling you. You don't have to go barefoot (yet), but you can massage your clean feet, stretch them, have someone you trust massage them, or receive massage regularly.

Reflexology is a system of massage used to relieve tension and treat illness, based on the theory that there are reflex points on the feet, hands, and head linked to every part of the body. It is a practice dating back to 2300 B.C.E. It was rediscovered in the Physician’s Tomb of Ankhmahor in Saqqara, Egypt. Ankhmahor was the highest-ranking official after the Pharaoh. The medu neter seen in Ankhmahor’s wall painting translate to “Don’t hurt me” and the response, “I shall act so you praise me".

The ends of our spinal nerves are in our feet, hands, and head. These nerves travel through our organs connecting every part of our body to every part of our body. As above, so below. As within, so without. As with the universe, so the soul. When the muscles and fascia in the hands, feet, or head are hypertonic this reflects to the corresponding organ or body part. When the tissue is massaged and relaxed, such is reflected to the corresponding body part. It is said if you massage the hands, feet, and abdomen the rest of the body may not need work.

I incorporate the hands and feet in most massages because of this information. I work on the head and abdomen depending on each client. Anyone interested in reflexology can message me here if we're friends on this platform. Anyone else can request for KrisTopher on Zeel or at Niasoma Bodywork .

These are glass lotion bottles. I am going to thoroughly clean them and repurpose them to be massage oil bottles. I use glass to prevent BPA and other chemicals from soaking into the oil from plastic. I intend to make this practice as holistic as possible by using the most natural and nourishing ingredients, and not getting unnecessary chemicals on or in my client's skin. Be blessed ✌
