Why bother with CEU classes?

Taking a massage class (or more!) shouldn't be done just because you need the CEUs for your national certification or insurance renewal. Many massage therapists get in a rut of doing the same thing over and over again. Their clients are happy with the massage, so why bother learning something new?


Are you looking at the clock during your session wondering if it's stopped? Do you have the tools you need to do a great massage? Not physical tools, but skills learned through class or from another massage therapist? If you like work but don't love it anymore, perhaps it's time for a change.

Yes, classes can be expensive. Can you really learn the hands-on skills needed for massage either online or out of a book? Maybe with some things you can. But taking a massage class can really renew your zest for your work again. You'll probably learn a thing or two that you can add to your massages. And maybe your clients will tell you afterwards, "That really was the best massage I've ever had!"

Groupon for Massage

Ever hear of Groupon? It's an online company that works with business to offer their services for usually a huge discount.

Here's how it works:

• The business decides what product it wants to offer and for what price. For instance, I would offer a special for a massage with paraffin dip for 50% off it's regular price.
• The business sets up a minimum of coupons it needs to sell for the coupon to work. It can be 10 coupons, 25, whatever. If that minimum is not met, there's no deal.
• The purpose of that is that the massage company, spa, etc. will have those who WANT the coupon to advertise it on Twitter, FB, MySpace, etc. so that others will see it and hopefully buy it.
• If the minimum number of coupons are sold, "The Deal is On!"
• Coupons are good for a year.

I have been invited to be one of the first massage companies in Cincinnati to have a deal on Groupon. The trick is trying to figure out what deal to give! Remember, I'd offer 50% off a regular service.

Any ideas would be welcome! Email me at fredettemassage@fuse.net.

Bamboo class in Ann Arbor all set to go!

Here's a picture of 4 students working in our Cincinnati, OH Bamboo-fusion class.
 
The bamboo massage class in Ann Arbor, MI will be held on Monday, Tuesday March 1-2, 2010.
 
Class size is limited. What a great way to warm up those snowy Michigan clients! Plus, class is 80% hands on, which means all therapists taking the class get to receive about 3 hours of hot bamboo massage each day in our training class.

Feb Bamboo class

I have space in my February 1-2 Bamboo-fusion class in Cincinnati. You can register online in the middle of the night, if you so desire!

Why learn to massage with bamboo?

• It's warm-perfect for a cold day.
• It's warm (did I mention that?)- great for loosening up clients.
• It feels great to receive-something your clients will truly appreciate.
• Bamboo-fusion massage is fun to give.
• Massage with bamboo tools makes life more interesting.
• It's very easy to do deep tissue with warm tools without hurting yourself in the process.
• Class is about 80% hands on--you'll receive tons of massage!

Warm up your clients, Michigan therapists!

Now is the time, if there's ever a good time, to think about warming up your clients with hot bamboo massage. Here in Cincinnati, it's about 16 degrees, with the high this week looking like 27 on Wednesday. This is Farenheit, not Celcius!

I'm heading up to Ann Arbor, MI in 2 months to teach  bamboo fusion to 8 therapists bright enough to learn the way to treat your clients well in this clime is to heat them up! The schedule is on www.affinitymassages.com/bamboo_classes. Bamboo-fusion massage training is 80% hands on. You'll love the class--bring on the heat!

Let me know if you have any questions! I'm going to be working on direct email this week, and I'll be happy to put you on the list if you email me at fredettemassage@fuse.net .
