"Jean is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the body (and hormones). Her massage technique is highly productive, she was able to help keep gain more movement when I was at my worst point in frozen shoulder, right before my wedding. Thanks to Jean, my wedding day went great!"

I can work on a athlete or weekend warrior to help minimize pain and improve performance.
If you hurt somewhere from too much sitting and not enough activity, this is where you need to come.

Depends on the problem whether I go to natural or traditional treatments. I usually try to go natural first unless it is more uncomfortable (painful) to wait for natural treatments to kick in (thinking UTI's here). I much prefer to find a natural cure/treatment for problems.

Wondering if the client will follow instructions properly. I found I have to make things simple and easy as well as taking very little time. Otherwise the client will not do as instructed.

I worked for a company that used Groupon and it was the "kiss of death". These people are only interested in getting a "deal" and not the service you provide. You end up working for only about $10-$15 an hour...really not worth your time or money. And once you get them in the door you lose your...

I worked for a company that used Groupon and it was the "kiss of death". These people are only interested in getting a "deal" and not the service you provide. You end up working for only about $10-$15 an hour...really not worth your time or money. And once you get them in the door you lose your regular customers because they cannot get in to see you or their favorite therapist who is now only getting $15 instead of the $60 or more they would normally get. Once you start with Groupon, it is hard to quit...they make it hard on purpose. I suggest you think carefully before committing to this kind of discounted service. You might try offering discounts through your local paper or on-line. Bring in a coupon for X dollars off a regular massage.
Here in Oregon I just called and asked for the mailing address for claims and what they required for them to pay me. Nothing special was indicated and they paid quicker than regular insurance companies.

Send out a nicely worded email to all your clients stating why you are doing it and when it will happen and how much they will now have to pay. You should have all that information assembled and well written. Give them a couple weeks or even a month before you raise your rates to give them time to adjust. You can also tell each client as they come to see you that as of such and such a date you will be raising the rate to whatever it will be. Making sure you do both to keep people from saying they didn't know about the rate hike.
You can also post a note on the door of your office or by the front desk or somewhere people will see it stating the above.

The large woman who also had diabetes who smelled so bad it was hard to get through the whole thing without retching. I made it, though.

If this isn't enough, it feels good too! Make sure to fit the client with the therapist as well. If they aren't comfortable together the client will not come back.

I am not sure since I don't use FB that way. Are you not generating any new leads?

I add $30 to my base rate for gas and expenses. If the client is further away from where you want to go, add $40.
