Being a Good Massage Therapist

by Jane
(Mansfield, MA)

What helped me most in my career as a MT, I believe, is that I feel that the mind-body connection is important. I am less interested in, say, sports massage.

I believe the spiritual side of humans dealing with other humans creates a pathway for spiritual development for both. I thoroughly enjoy working on people who are going through difficult times (whether they share that or not).

I was once told that I had "quiet hands" by a client after the treatment. I took that as a compliment. I have also had people cry during my treatments. (No jokes on that one....I mean that they were touched at their very soul.)

Having someone cry on your table is amazing. I remember my first massage class the girl I was working with was in tears. I don't know why and probably never will, but as long as she was able to release whatever she was holding inside, that is all that matters to me.
Another great thing that people can do is fall asleep! It lets their body do what it needs to do without them thinking. The more they think, the more it blocks the possibilities of what their body was going to do! Most people don't know and say, "I almost fell asleep!" So I tell them it means it is a great compliment and that I am doing my job right to allow their body to do what it needs to do, whatever that may be!
