NCBTMB

I just finished a course covering teaching and learning online. I really enjoyed my time and I am thinking that it is about time to offer one online.

I think that the perfect place to start would be a prep class. I have been working on this and I am about to teach another one in a classroom. I am not sure how to get the whole thing started. Only thing to do is get started.

I have spent the last year now I think doing some form of teaching massage. It is rewarding and interesting and challenging. There are good days and bad, good classes and bad. Though I don't have much contact with the students that have hands on classes. I can and do fill in when needed.

With that in mind an interesting thing happened last week. I was in a class with students teaching them options of how to drape and or work specific areas and not expose the client. I came across a group of students that really are not interested in getting work on themselves. I began to think about this topic and I have said a number of times that it really is a good idea to get massage as a way to feel other forms of work and to take care of yourself.

I am now wondering how many therapists actually get massage or think "I don't really need massage". Then answer this question. Why did you get into the massage therapy field? Was it to assist others in feeling better. Then what do you do to feel better? After a long week of work to the tune of sometimes 20 clients. I need time to decompress, recharge and get rid of the tension that builds up in me from my clients. No matter how good my boundaries are sometimes it still gets through. If I am over tired, my boundaries are not that clear or strong and things get past me. Plus I stand on my feet all day.

If you get massage work please tell me why you do and how it helps you get through your work? If you don't get massage, tell me why and why it is not important to you? Also if you would be so kind as to tell me how you can convince your clients that it is a good idea to get a massage when you don't.

I am pretty lucky to get to work in great locations like this one. Yes, I was that close to the water and yes that is Walker's Point in the distance.

All of this from a referral. How do you reward your clients when they refer clients to you?

Enjoy the view I sure did.
