How much should I charge for a 15 min, 30 min, and hour massage?

Question by Rob S: How much should I charge for a 15 min, 30 min, and hour massage?
I am not a licensed massage therapist yet, but I am told that I give great massages. I was thinking of making a business of it. How much should I charge for 15 min, 30 min, and hour massages. I do head only, feet only, arms, and full-body massage.

I also know a few tricks, such as hot rock treatment, etc. How much should I charge for those.

FYI, again I am NOT a professional

Thank you

I want to set up a hot rock treatment for my friend,what should I buy, and how should I heat the rocks?

Question by $Money$: I want to set up a hot rock treatment for my friend,what should I buy, and how should I heat the rocks?
Should I buy rocks or just pick some up? I live near a stream so maybe there is some good rocks there. I also need to know how to heat them for a relaxing massage. I don’t want to spend more then or nothing would be the best.

Gather some rocks and wash them with soap. You want good size rocks. Then turn the shower or sink to hot and wait fot it to get hot. do this right before your friend comes. Then put the rocks in the hot water and when your friend comes test the temperature. Do the treatment. Think about what kind of massae you would like. Don’t buy rocks. Also, a bubble bath is nice. I did this so I know it works.

Q&A: What should I do for career? occupational or massage therapy?

Question by pondering: What should I do for career? occupational or massage therapy?
I have a degree in occupational therapy but haven’t done that in 6 years. I currently am learning massage therapy and seem to like that. I never did like Occupational Therapy because I could not see how it would benefit people, and feel that it really is rather worthless. I do see that massage therapy greatly helps people physically and relieves stress. The problem is that Occupational Therapy may have more job stability because insurance and medicare pay the bills, and would be easier physically. (more stressful mentally, because of the paperwork.) So, the question is, should I go back and try to do Occupational Therapy for the money and benefits, and less physical stress (working for a company), but feel mental anguish, or should I try and do massage therapy, and possibly tire out physically, but then have the ability to work on my own. Also I am that young anymore, but do not have any retirement pension, and little money saved up. What to do? Please help.

It is really a person decision, but my advice? Stick with OT. I have two more months in my program and then clinicals and I am done. YAY! Why do you find it worthless? What population do you work with? I would find massage therapy monotonous and boring, but with OT you can do anything and it DOES help people if it is done correctly. Maybe you would be interested in hand therapy or something more technical???
