Posted on: June 12, 2013
As a massage therapist, one of the most important aspects of maintaining your clientele is to create a relaxing atmosphere in every one of your sessions. While you will always aim to relax your clients through using the techniques that you have learned in massage school, it is also important to carefully create the perfect ambiance for your client's massage. Here, are the top five common tricks to ensure that every massage is a relaxing experience that will leave your client satisfied.Stay on Schedule
As anyone who has spent too much time in a waiting room can attest, waiting for an appointment is stressful. Therefore, respect your client's time by staying on schedule so that you do not run late on your appointments. Spa treatments should also begin from the moment a client walks through your door. Have relaxing music playing as well as a cold drink available for each client while they are waiting.
Use Soft Lighting
The right lighting is essential for providing a quality massage to your clients. While you never want to perform a massage in the dark, lightly dimming the lights can have a soothing effect on your clients.
Perfect Your Draping Technique
For many people, the lack of clothing required for a massage can create anxiety. To ease the stress of your clients, practice your draping technique until it is perfect. By keeping the drape tucked properly, you can reduce your client's feeling of being exposed so that they will feel comfortable throughout their spa treatments.
Choose Soothing Scents
A massage should always be a multi-sensory experience that engages the senses of touch and smell. Avoid heavy perfumes that may be distracting to your clients. Instead, scent your massage area with relaxing scents such as lavender and chamomile.
Maintain a Professional Demeanor
Your professional demeanor can also help to put your clients at ease. During a client's first visit, spend a few minutes talking to them about what they should expect during the massage. By preparing them beforehand, you can help them to relax and enjoy the experience.
