Massage school only teaches you how to do massage. It doesn't teach you how to become a massage therapist. This site is my attempt at filling in the gaps of information and making as many tools and resources available to help you decide if you are passionate enough about doing massage enough to persist through the challenges of doing so.
Have you already decided to go to massage school and are wondering what massage school is right for you?
Have you just graduated from massage school and are looking for a job or looking to start a business?
Have you been practicing massage for awhile and just need some help starting/building or maintaining your massage business?
This site has all of the massage career guides and resources to help you achieve your goals and dreams in a massage career.
Choosing a career that is right for you is the first step in the process. Do you love getting massage? Do you love working with people? Do you love learning new things about health and disease?
A career in massage is a great way to earn a living or to start a business in. You can be a guide for people on their path to healing, dealing with stress and being of service to others.
Massage Therapy Careers are one of the up and coming professions but most websites, books and information on careers comes from massage schools and associations who are looking for students or members. This site www.massage-career-guides.com is written by a 20 year veteran in the massage profession - Julie Onofrio. Massage schools and associations don't tell you about the challenges you will have or how stressful it really is to find clients and make a decent living. But when you know what they are you can be ahead of all of the others and on your way to making a great living - $50,000 or even $100,000 a year or more if you are committed and passionate about what you do. This site is a guide on how to do it!
The key to doing just that is being passionate about what you do, have the self confidence and vision to make it happen and the commitment to follow it through!
Most massage therapists start their own business which most massage schools don't often tell you up front. What it takes to be successful massage business owner is a passion for what you do, a commitment to doing massage and doing whatever it takes to be successful. It has little to do with having 'good hands' or helping others. Just like any other career, there are challenges and obstacles to overcome. Those who can make it through the first 5 years are faced with learning to attract new clients and get current clients to become repeat clients. They are faced with learning to talk about what you do so that clients will become regular clients and refer all of their friends. My "Massage Therapy Career Guide: The truth about becoming a massage therapist will help you to make a more informed decision about choosing a career in massage.
While most massage therapists start their own business there are more job opportunities opening up but most massage employers don't understand what massage therapists need and they don't understand that it is the massage therapist that will make or break their business. Even though there are more massage job opportunities opening up for massage school graduates, the pay is usually low and you still have to know how to get and keep clients coming back. Job security is a thing of the past and it takes putting 100% effort into everything you do. Many massage employers take advantage of massage therapists. I have written a guide to finding and creating your Ideal Job in Massage.
So whatever stage you are in your career, Massage Career Guides is here to guide you and inspire you on your road to success in your massage therapy career.
