Licensed Massage Therapist Reviews

Working for Massage Envy is peaceful, it’s convenient, lenient, and a great place to ease yourself into a full time career. I’ve experienced making the most money I’ve ever made as well as slow periods leading to lots of downtime. My goal for this position is to make guaranteed income from Massage Therapy no matter what. Massage Envy usually has guaranteed clientele daily. I wish every appointment was made based on scheduling the therapists as many clients as they can take back to back. I enjoy coming to work, working hard and carrying on with my day. Life is too short to waste any moment you could spend with yourself or someone special in your life. I’ve experienced sporadic scheduling which leads to much downtime. I am usually scheduled for 6 hours & end up performing 3.5 Massages daily. This deters me from working (sitting) for an extra 2.5 hours (not getting paid) daily & now my usual 6-8 hours per day schedule has adjusted to 4 hours per day due to the Coronavirus Pandemic shortening our Store hours. Overall Massage Envy is a great place to work if you’re easing into the Massage game, testing your ability, practicing, & trying to build a steady clientele. Aside from the downtime feeling wasteful & thinking of all the things you could be doing instead it’s nice to get Cash Tips, Practice Massage Techniques, have access to MEU, and do as much work as you can without overexerting yourself.

Being a Licensed Massage Therapists has its ups and downs, its a good paying career however it is not regulated pay every week, so you really need to budget. Normally benefits are not given depending on where you work. It is Very Physical! You need to have a passion for what you do otherwise it will be mundane type of work.

I am not making enough to cover my cost of living and my student loan payments. I also can not work anymore hours because giving great requires giving of yourself and you can only give so much without depleting yourself.

It has been up and down for 6 years. I must say I have never landed in such a good position as this. It has been worth every push! Make sure to take care of your body! Your wrists will become weak if you don't take proper care. Make sure you pay mind to your body mechanics and keep your wrists straight, and your core tight. Good luck therapists!

Know Ethics, Morals and Health care issues for Holistic practice. Excel by knowing many techniques; ie: Reiki, Shiatsu, Aroma Therapy, Muscle Testing, Acupressure to improve physical and mental pain and tension. I highly suggest to new Licensed Massage Therapist to consider this career as an ADVOCATION. The pay is very low (unfortunately). Although this career does have a benefit of being able to travel anywhere in the world. First class hotels, spas and resorts as well as private clubs and private health spas (any where you want to go) are always in need of a superior massage therapist. Long hours sometimes, waiting for appointments, cancellations are possible. At those times (if self-employed) in your receipt/disclaimer for health and legal reasons, consider the clause; non-refundable deposit. This will help off-set loss of income and non productive hours. Personally, I only worked from referrals or personal contact. No classified ads. Your INTUITIVE will always be right.
