A little insight 👀
People see a treatment cost and think the therapist is pocketing that full amount - I wish that were true 😂
The reality is that “1 hour massage” rarely means 1 hour of work.
For many massage therapists, 20 to 30 hands-on hours a week is considered full time because of the physical demand on our bodies. And those hands-on hours don’t include:
• laundry
• sanitizing
• client notes
• booking and scheduling
• accounts and stock control
• overheads like oils, creams, disposable bedding, essential oils, tools and then general business running costs ontop
• continuing education
• self-care so we can keep our bodies strong/healthy enough to do this work long term
I do this work because I genuinely care about supporting each person on their own wellness journey. But I also think it’s important for clients to understand what goes into each session behind the scenes. Every appointment supports far more than the hour spent on the table.
Thank you so much for supporting my small business, I am so grateful to do the work I live for everyday 💚💆✨👐
