Almost perfect massage job.

by Hugo
(Japan)

I was a massage therapist in a naturist camp called La Pommerie in Quebec, Canada for 3 summers. It was such a great place to work.
I came upon this job by accident. I had been to massage school before and worked at an international spa (great setting but the pay was near slavery). One beautiful summer day, I decide to try naturism by myself and go to this camp, not to far from where I lived.
Once I got there, I was going around the place and noticed there was a massage center. I got curious and went in to find out that one of my teachers at massage school actually was the owner.
She hired me the next season.

What was great about it? Well my boss was generous, we got 66% of the price of the massage (35$ for a 55$ massage).
The setting was great too. We had a table under a screened tent outside so we could give massages in the forest an we had 2 nice, opened and sun lit rooms to work in.
The clients were nude, without the sheets to fight with, I really developed my massage in a form of art, flowing, sensual and very comforting.
Lastly, when we didn't have clients, we exchanged massages so I got a massage about every other week.
I miss this job but I currently live in Japan.
I have decided to re-start my business here but the market is very different. We will see how it goes.

I have yet to work in massage.
I was supposed to get hired at an aesthetic salon as a therapist and a teacher but the deal fell out.

Being a man doesn't help. You, being a woman, might have more chances. Try in a big city like Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya or Osaka.

Hi, Hugo. Bella here from Australia. I'm curious to know how your massage business fared in Japan. I have spent time in Japan and love it. I also am a qualified massage therapist and would like to work that job in Japan. Let me know.
