Massage Jobs

Massage Jobs come in all shapes, sizes and forms. Just like any other career your ability to get a job in massage will depend on how well you are able to promote your skills and abilities to potential massage employers. Jobs are a fairly recent occurrence in the massage profession with the opening of many massage franchises. The thing is that these jobs are entry level positions and are low paying. Massage employers also are just learning about working with massage therapists as employees so they often do not understand what it takes to run a successful massage business.

To create or find a higher paying job you have to take the time to research the field and also discover your Ideal Job in Massage. Hopefully you have come into the massage profession because of your passion for doing massage and helping others. With that intention you will have a better chance of success. If you are just looking for a job where you can just get by and not have to do anything, you will be able to find jobs but you will most likely be unfulfilled and unchallenged.

Since jobs today are not about finding security because nothing is a sure thing these days, it is more important to choose a career and find a job in something that you are passionate about and can engage yourself in to find meaning and rewards including financial, spiritual, mental and emotional rewards.

Discovering your ideal massage job is a process of doing your research and being able to wait for your ideal job or if you need to - just take a low paying job until you can find or create your ideal massage job.

An ideal massage job will look something like this:

• Pays $45 an hour or more and pays you that whether or not you have a client or not
• Provides benefits in the way of vacation pay, profit sharing or other incentives, sick pay, pays for continuing education and training and holidays
• Considers you a part of the team and treats you as such working with you to build a massage client base and secure rebooking clients.
• Provides peer supervision groups or individual supervision sessions to help you deal with the every day goings on in dealing with clients and improving your communication skills and boundaries around transference and countertransference issues.
