Hey there :) The contact info for Chris and Caren is in the description above. Feel free to reach out to them for some massage business advice :)

We do too haha! Especially when we get to talk about the sun for once 😆

Thank you, Leilah, for tuning in and for the feedback 😄

Hey Julie, good question! This confused me too at the time and I had to email Fresha customer services as the client I was charged a new customer fee for had booked via my website! It turns out the link I had been using on my "Book Now" tabs on my website was not my "unique link" and just the link to my profile on Fresha.. To create your own "unique link" you need to go into your Fresha Partner Portal, click on the "Online Booking" tab, then click "Link Builder", then click "Create Link" under "Link To Everything." This will then give you your own nifty direct link you can put on your website, social media and so on that your clients can then click to book in directly with you. Annoyingly if a client just searches your company name on Fresha, if it's their first time booking it will come with a new client fee. I disputed mine with Fresha as I shown them that the client that had booked was a friend of mine who booked through my website and although I'd used the wrong link, they refunded the 20% fee and told me what to do so they were very helpful and I haven't paid a new client fee now in a long time so it shows that most people booking in with me are people that have found me directly through my own social media platforms or websites, not through Fresha. If you have any problems, please email Fresha Customer Services and they will help you. :) Chris Maddon

We totally get that! Social media can be a bit overwhelming, especially for introverts. But remember, you don't have to be a social butterfly to be successful on social media. A good tip is to focus on sharing valuable content that helps your audience, rather than promoting yourself! Are you joined our Facebook group that's linked in the description under this episode? You're more than welcome to join, we're certain you'll find valuable advice and support from fellow therapists in the group on this topic! :)

@MassageWarehouse I'm on your email list and socials too, thank you 🫶🏼 It's all so difficult to do it well 👌🏼 I'm learning and hoping to improve my skills each time I post

I hear you and it's something I hear a lot, but putting your face out there doesn't mean silly trends and TikTok dances - unless that's what you enjoy, even starting with a photo of you doing what you do is a great start and build on it from there, a reel of a treatment with your voice over the top etc. There are so many ways you can build a relationship with your clients without making yourself feel uncomfortable. I'm actually running a free course in January which sound like it would be good for you - focussed on marketing, so make sure you find me on socials. Jemma

@@relaxandremedyferndown Thanks Jemma. Even the voice over part kills me off! Not been able to get one done yet but I am growing and getting out of my comfort zone is something I have to do, so I'll head to your page now. Thank you! 💕

That's a great point! It's common for strong client-therapist relationships to develop, but it seems you've already got a good system in place by separating your personal and professional time. When it comes to messaging, maybe you could consider setting specific times for checking and responding to messages. This will help you stay organised and avoid feeling overwhelmed! :)

We totally get what you're saying! It's always the regulars who are so reliable. I guess newbies are still figuring things out.

We're glad you enjoyed the episode! Thank you for tuning into The Massage & Physical Therapists Talk Show!

It depends on what the outcome needs are of your treatment. If it is a pure relaxation massage and had no issues with your myofascia/muscles and no pain and aches then this would not be what you would need. However for clinical reasons this can be really helpful if someone needs to have improved ROM and a reduction in pain.

@@elizabethplant3807 I train regularly, heavy weights, HIIT etc. Regular deep tissue massages.. If a therapist asks me to participate and makes it "clinical" - I'll change the therapist. For me any massage is about relaxation yes, I like fast paced, deep forceful massage, with no talking whatsoever.. it sends me into heaven..

We're delighted to hear that! Let us know how it goes 😄 Thank you for tuning in to The Muscle Whisperer 🙏

Thank you for the fab feedback and for tuning in to The Muscle Whisperer Thoughtful Tips for Therapists! 😄

Exactly! How hard can it be to just take a break and enjoy ourselves 😆

Hi Dawn :) Congratulations on nearing the end of your massage course! Balancing a full-time job while building up your clients is definitely a challenge, but it's entirely doable. Are you joined our private facebook group for massage therapists? It's a fab place for support and encouragement no matter what stage of your massage career you're at!

@@MassageWarehouse thank you, I just keep reminding myself to take little steps and I will get there one day. No, I will have a look and join, thank you.

@@dawnwest3766 Exactly 🙌The link to our facebook group is in the video description above :)

We hear you, it can be tough during the summer period! We're happy this video could offer some relief. Thank you for tuning in to The Massage & Physical Therapists Talk Show!

Thank you for tuning in and for your feedback! We agree that AI is NOT something to fear, it can be a really helpful tool for therapists if used in a smart way!

We totally agree! AI really can be a fun tool to use and is something that shouldn't be feared 😄 Thank you for tuning in to the talk show, Romas, and for sharing your feedback 😁

Hi Viktoria :) Thanks for sharing your experience and for tuning in to the talk show! We've come across some similar stories like yours before when it comes to creating images with ai, some can be very funny! It's important to be aware of its limitations in that sense and as Sunita mentioned it can be a very powerful tool in other areas. When used strategically, it really can make your life easier when it comes to tasks like scheduling your social media posts, brainstorming ideas for blogs and newsletters and helping with the inital drafts. As long as you personalise ai's suggestions to match your tone and writing, you can save yourself A LOT of time!

We're so glad to hear this about your Avalon couch, thank you for the feedback! 😄

Thank you so much for tuning in to Part 1 and 2!! 😁

Great feedback thank you! So happy you found them beneficial. Please feel free to share to those who could benefit.

Love this! Actually it's a great tip for fellow therapists, thanks for sharing and for tuning in 😄

Thank you for tuning in 😄

Hi Clarence. It's available only in the UK & Europe. Sorry to disappoint! I wish we could send it to you in DC but the shipping cost would be very high.

So happy it was helpful 😍

Thank you for tuning in Dawn :)

🙌😃

Amazing to hear! Thank you for tuning in!!

Thank you for tuning in Ingrid and for your feedback 😊 You would need to get your course endorsed by a governing body and the governing body would advise which teaching qualification they recommend. We hope that helps!

Hi Ingrid, episode 11 we have just recorded touches on this in much more details. Keep your eyes peeled for the next episode :)
