Anyone Practicing in England, who can offer some (a lot) of advice?

I moved to England 3 years ago from the States. I started my massage practice and business, it went over horribly. I was very culturally naive, as well as unprepared as to how to price my massages. I have since, moved back to the States, where I have no problem with business but then again I'm from here! I will be moving to York, UK in March. I want to have guns blazing when I return. I belonged to a professional organization in the UK, but I felt they rarely updated the website, and not much for guidance.

I realize this is a tall order, but I could really use some advice. I.E. websites to visit (I had trouble even ordering supplies), how to price massages (I've seen them all over the board) professional organizations to join (down to if I need insurance to practice). I appreciate any help.

Thanks in Advance,
Kelly

Kelly - send a friend request to Stephen Jeffrey.
He's a good bloke and I know he'll help you a lot. I think he's on holiday at the minute, but I'm sure he'll help you out when he gets back.
You could also friend Rick Britton since he seems like a decent fella too - normally they're both on here quite a bit.

York is a lovely place - it has a great history too.
Best of luck in your move!

I think Yorkshire is known as God's Own Country, because the folks are drunk all the time! I presently have a home in Harrogate, and am thankful to be moving to York!

Yes I can confirm that York is a wonderful place indeed. Yorkshire is known to the locals as 'Gods' Own Country'. Very beautiful.
