<p>Hey guys, </p>
<p></p>
<p>I am thinking about going back to school to get licensed in massage therapy. I have worked as a personal trainer for several years now and will be opening my own private personal training studio in the next year or two.</p>
<p>I have been very interested in massage therapy for the 4-5 years and think having that service available for clients would be very beneficial as well.</p>

<p>Hey guys, </p>
<p></p>
<p>I am thinking about going back to school to get licensed in massage therapy. I have worked as a personal trainer for several years now and will be opening my own private personal training studio in the next year or two.</p>
<p>I have been very interested in massage therapy for the 4-5 years and think having that service available for clients would be very beneficial as well.</p>
<p>I am not concerned with the academic portion of massage schooling, as I already have an extensive background in anatomy, physiology, kinesiology ext. (from a bachelors in Exercise Phys). I would definitely say that I am passionate about this kind of work as well, so that isn't a concern either.</p>
<p></p>
<p>A few concerns I do have are:</p>
<p>1. I am a guy and I know many clients prefer female therapists.</p>
<p></p>
<p>2. Time. It takes about a year of full time schooling to get licensed and with my busy schedule it would be tough to accommodate that. </p>
<p>3. Money. Not only would I be making less money while getting licensed but I would have to pay off the 11,000 after completing the program. I am not sure that the amount of money I would make from offering massage therapy would even cover the cost of the loans after the program completion. </p>
<p></p>
<p>So... what do you guys think? Does anyone have experience doing both massage therapy and personal training? </p>
<p></p>
<p>I am leaning towards getting licensed but I am still not 100 percent sure. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks guys</p>

Ok I've been a therapist for about 12 years. I've worked in 5 star hotels, with elderly clients, with an NBA team for 5 seasons and now I have a really successful business. I work at an organization in downtown DC with the potential to have thousands of clients. Of course there is only me. I work business hours and a little past. 10:30 7:30. I schedule 30 minute and hour massages mostly and I average anywhere from 5 to 8 clients a day. I've gotten so busy, I've hired someone to work for…
Ok I've been a therapist for about 12 years. I've worked in 5 star hotels, with elderly clients, with an NBA team for 5 seasons and now I have a really successful business. I work at an organization in downtown DC with the potential to have thousands of clients. Of course there is only me. I work business hours and a little past. 10:30 7:30. I schedule 30 minute and hour massages mostly and I average anywhere from 5 to 8 clients a day. I've gotten so busy, I've hired someone to work for me one day a week and to cover the days I'm out.<br/><br/>So on the weekend, I have another office at a spa where I'm the only therapist. I usually have a couple of clients there each Saturday and then I do outcalls at hotels and have a few clients I see in their home.<br/><br/>I am beyond blessed in terms of doing what I love and having phenomenal clients. The problem is that there is only one me. The therapist who works for me sometimes has a hard time filling her schedule but I am easily booking 2 weeks out. My regulars months in advance.<br/><br/>I don't want to burn out but I also want some type of income that I can get without using my body but in the massage world. <br/><br/>Eventually I would like to teach but I want to be able to work a couple of days doing something with my brain that I can get in some decent money. <br/><br/>My husband and I also want to start a family soon so I really want something I can train or do and get going asap. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!<br/> Going greentag:massageprofessionals.com,2010-07-15:2887274:Topic:923632010-07-15T20:17:50.122ZFayehttps://massageprofessionals.com/profile/Faye
