WHY I BECAME A MASSAGE THERAPIST | I QUIT NURSING | MY JOURNEY | 2022

[@lesliecorrell4211]

I am a CNA who is currently working bedside and WAS going for nursing. I have been working since the pandemic and I am over this. I start my massage therapy program in three weeks. I want to do this for people who suffer chronic pain. I had a head/neck injury 5 years ago, and there is much relief I can gain from massages. I cannot wait. I want to work in the hospital for cancer patients, along with maybe starting my own side business as well. I don't know just yet, but I want to help people heal in a holistic way.

[@truemassagebodywork]

Keep up the good work!

[@aminamylovee]

Hey Leslie, how’s the massage program going?

[@quinnrivers527]

So glad I found this! I am a nurse and I am considering becoming a massage therapist and saying goodbye to nursing

[@truemassagebodywork]

Thanks for the love! Wishing you the best of luck on your journey!

[@Bunnie1337]

Same! I start school for massage in a couple weeks.

[@rachellemirabal474]

I have been a massage therapist for the past 6 years!! I absolutely love it. I was actually thinking of studying Nutrition to add to my skill set.

Put God first and watch how successful you’ll become. Don’t focus primarily on money but build relationships

[@truemassagebodywork]

Absolutely, by putting God first and prioritizing building genuine relationships, not only will you experience true success, but you will also create a fulfilling and impactful journey that extends far beyond monetary gains.

As a yoga instructor and degree in health studies I love the idea of working as a massage therapist. Always loved cozy vibes and its a lucrative career. I love anatomy but I don’t care for nursing. It’s very long hours at hospitals and I commend nurses but I can’t see myself doing it.

[@Emalye.Saeeeeeeeee]

Same my friend does nursing and she hates it. I’m like yeah not doing that

17:15 As a student that is studying Health and Wellness Tourism right now at school I must say that you are inspiring me to become a massage therapist and maybe one day open my own spa in the tourism industry. ❤ I just discovered your channel and I am happy I found it. I'm from Jamaica by the way 🇯🇲

I am clinicals at school. I am open to learning different modalities after school. Chose it because being autistic/creative and very shy adult male, it sort of fits for me more than other careers. I used to work at tiffany and company as just a security guard although I did sales as a guard, because I wanted to be a sale professional but never was hired for that gig. My other job was tsa. It was OK, but the loud sounds would mess me up. I would go into full on depression due to sensory overload for most of my past jobs.

[@truemassagebodywork]

This is a great career for those of us who are neurodivergent. I've met plenty of non-neurotypical people in this field, who have excellent careers! Thanks for sharing this!

[@truemassagebodywork]

You're so kind, thank you!

[@AllanRochez]

I’m not YET LMT but my why as of right now is that I love the idea of aiding people in their physical healing journey as possible trauma healing because I remember that you mentioned in one of your videos that there can be trauma stored in the body Also I heard the money can be pretty good and something that I desperately need So I’m not yet an LMT but I’m going to be doing more research and hopefully going to start my classes maybe next year God willing

I'm an LPN, currently not working as a nurse (was at bedside for over 10 years), finished my AA degree this past summer and currently in a Dental Hygiene program in my local college...and really don't like it!! I want to quit and wish i had gone to massage therapy school like I really wanted too! Thinking of withdrawing from the DH program and going to MT school ...

I start massage school in two and a half months. I think it would be cool to have my own business. I am drawn to the field because I am interested in anatomy and physiology and want to put that information to good use.

Is it easy for massage therapists to find a job straight out of school like at a franchise or is it difficult? Thanks !

[@truemassagebodywork]

I'll make a video about that! But it depends!

[@TheHighNorth]

If you’re a male massage therapist forget about it. We get treated like shit. I’ve been a LMT for about 3 years now and I won’t be renewing my license. It was fun while it lasted. As a male LMT, you get used and abused. My hands and forearms are shot, you’re schedule isn’t always filled, and you walk around on eggshells. Like I said Massage therapy is great. If you’re a woman. You’ll get treated immaculately. No I’m not being sexist or I’m not trying to be at least just stating a very obvious fact.

[@Tlahuiltezcatl]

I'm sorry to hear u had that experience :c

[@HilaireJoie]

So sorry to hear that! People can be mean and abusive. :( I hope you find a more lucrative career.

[@teriyakiwilson7072]

I hope to dispel that myth. I'll let you know when I get there!

[@TheHighNorth]

@@teriyakiwilson7072 I mean different strokes for different folks. Here’s the deal. If disprove it great but, after my 3rd year in the industry and watching WOMEN fill their schedule, get treated perfectly fine, I couldn’t do it anymore. You don’t know my story but, if you’d like I have the receipts with zero to lose Walk up to anyone and ask would you rather have a man massage you or a woman? 9/10 a woman. Lemme guess you think you’re gonna change the world of massage? Highly doubtful.
