i. First massage table
A few weeks ago I got my very first massage table!! I had lots of fun picking it up from my apartment office. Luckily a man was nice enough to help me take it to my car. Mind you, it was raining that day! But I was soo excited to just take it home and set it up! I had spent days researching the hell out of what would be the best table for me, as well as comparing prices.
Here it is all set up! I am SO happy with everything! I'm so glad I spent all those hours researching and comparing!
The table folds up, has a carry case, is very lightweight, and I also got a bolster.
Don't you see the excite on mah face??? Haha, sarcasm. I had been running around in the rain, and getting everything out of the boxes and plastic was a workout in itself. I was a hot mess.
ii. First clinic
Had my first day of working in the clinic this past Friday. Honestly I wasn't too nervous about how the actual massages would go; I'm pretty confident with my techniques. I was more nervous that I didn't know what exactly to do when it came to meeting my clients and the whole process of getting their files and going over their SOAP notes (I promise I won't use too much massage therapy jargon here). Things were just so unorganized and we all felt like fish out of water.
For the first 15 minutes of my first client I was so nervous, stressed and worked up from all the confusion. I didn't want to transfer the feeling to her so I just took a deep breath and let it all go. And it stayed that way throughout the day :) Apparently all my clients had very nice things to say about me in their reviews! And I even got tips! Totally wasn't expecting that! Whoop!
While I was working the elastic snaps on my wig came undone and by the end of the day my wig had slid back and I didn't even realize it. Awesome. Anyway, even though there was lots of chaos it turned out to be a really good first day!

good job on your first day! :D i think masseuses or any type of occupation where you have to primp a customer requires real good social skills so i commend you on that one ><;;
ReplyDeletemy mom says that she only talks to them for the first 10 mins then they fall asleep LOL
Thanks! Yeah, we barely talk to our clients except for before and after the massage haha.. I love it! I work better with my hands than with social skills >_<
