you promise people free massages ...

[percival]

... and what happens?

- They forget appointments.

- They decline for a number of reasons. Some say "I'd rather not"
one says "I don't want to be massaged by somebody in training."
Yet another hums and haws after already having had one massage.

Which leaves me thinking:
- Do I smell?
- Am I that bad?
- Do I intimidate people?
- Is it because these people know me?

Anyway, incessant lobbying has got me five case studies so far (including The Hubby), and several more in the pipeline.

In the New Year, I'm going to reserve some time at the Glasgow Tibetan Rokpa centre to offer massages to my Glaswegian friends. I might get an extra massage table for that one.

I've also nailed a couple of potential case studies in York (soupytwist, any interest?).

Ah, the joys of training as a massage therapist ...

I would take your free student massage!!! There are several massage schools in my smallish city, and during July several students from one of those schools came to my office building and offered free 10-minute neck and shoulder massages. It was a win-win situation; I got a great massage and the student got "hands-on" (oops) credit toward her certificate. I can't imagine why anyone would pass up an opportunity like this. *lies in front of computer so you can massage me through the screen - LOL* Thank you *aaah*
