How to Become a High End Massage Therapist

To become a true healer, it will need to come from the inside, out. Bring true value to your practice and your will gain loyal clients and an excellent reputation.

There are many levels of possible income for a masseuse. Some work for corporations making very little money, others work independently and make six figures, picking and choosing their clients. Many are somewhere in between. Decide what your Massage Therapy Career will be. Make a plan. Choose a course of action, writing a clear and workable business plan.

Make the most of your education. Choose a good school with a good name. Take classes that interest you even if they seem to reflect alternative thinking. Your passion will be reflected in your practice. Continue your education once you have reached the required hours. Learn much and learn it well. Ask questions of successful masseuse practitioners.

Develop relationships with fellow students who share your passion and high standards. Networking is key to marketing and beginning to develop your reputation. Fiercely guard your reputation. It is everything.

Treat every client and potential client as if they are very important to you. Your massage skill is only part of your healing potential. Your connection to them as people will serve you well in your career, as return clients and word of mouth are very important in your Massage Career. Maintain very high standards during each interaction with a client.

Develop a niche and become known for it. Refer people to friends in the field if they seek something you don't offer. It will come back to you in good ways. Target a particular clientele and find out how to access these people. Spend time marketing yourself. Athletes and celebrities are high paying gigs if you have confidence and a genuinely likable personality.
