Are you a People Person?

Trite as it sounds, if you don't like people, this is not a field for you. I never wanted to be in an office, and after having bounced around for several years, I realized that I wanted to be in charge of what I do. I have always enjoyed massage and touch therapy, so I signed up and got massage certified.

I knew it was a good fit for me because I could work when I wanted to, wear what I wanted to, and interact with all sorts of people, in person, not just on the phone.

Also, I wanted to make people feel better. I didn't want to be a traditional medical practitioner, so I thought something a little more holistic was the ticket.

I knew that enjoying helping people feel better and my calm and relaxing personality would be keys to helping me have a successful massage career. It would help if I was a little better organized, but I am working on that- it is a good trait to have. I love working with people, and I love having a new set of clients every day.

It also helps to have REALLY strong hands!
