Most customers fall asleep peacefully during a session but might notice some drool when they woke up so be alert with these situations. Offer them tactfully with tissue to help relieve their feelings of awkwardness and embarrassment. Change the sheets and clean the area after each massage to ensure that they can relax somewhere safe, peaceful and sanitized.

They like getting themselves relaxed and then meditate while having sessions so inform that doing so is just fine with you. But some kinds of therapy would need their feedback more such as sports or deep tissue massages due to the deeper muscle layers being worked on.

Make sure your teeth are brushed or some breath mints are taken before the next therapy.

Customers have different body shapes and sizes with therapists seeing them all everyday that you may forget that they feel conscious too. People will get insecure with their weight, feet, toes, scarring, excessive hair and acne so suggest techniques which is done through clothing. Doing this in their first session would make them at ease with being massaged.

Customers mostly prefer female therapists with others either preferring none or male therapists but this should not hinder the desire of men to enter this profession.

And when you wear shoes with open toes then have them manicured to avoid distracting your client.

Customers can decide if they rather be nude completely when getting massaged or wear an underwear still.
