Hello Massage Community,What do you think of the prone pre natal massage bolster systems? Has anyone used "The Sophie" or the prone position Earth Lite system?

Lucianna Johnston replied to Jimswife's discussion Receiving a massage"I'm always honest. Don't see what the issue would be...I work on a lot of other massage therapists....in fact, I think it's good to say because they probably have a good idea of where I might need work :)"
Lucianna Johnston replied to Julie Onofrio's discussion How many actual hours of massage do you do a week?"I do a minimum of 20 - 25 clients per week but some of them are yoga clients. I find that making sure I stay fit (cardio, yoga) and eat a nutritious diet keeps me feeling great and injury free. When I had a baby I gained weight and got out of shape…"
Lucianna Johnston replied to Trina Pelletier's discussion Diabetic Clients"Having snacks on hand to help with blood sugar is smart...and check in with your client right before the massage. I always have protein bars in my office and have been known to give a client some if they were super empty.

Lucianna Johnston replied to Las Vegas Massage In Summerlin's discussion Energy Work - Energy Medicine"I am a Reiki Master/Teacher and love using energy work as a compliment to my massage and on it's own.

Lucianna Johnston replied to Sharon Seller's discussion Price Increase"I would suggest raising your price to $90 for 90 minutes. Give your existing clients some coupons and just tell them that as a result of your new location it is important for massage pricing to be consistent across the board. You can give them 10%…"
Lucianna Johnston replied to Lauren Erickson LMT's discussion NEW, YOUNG, and unexperienced, Please help!"You need to be paying quarterly taxes. Schedule a meeting with an accountant and they can give you the formula so you can determine what to pay quarterly. At the end of the year when you have to file it won't be so bad if you keep up with your…"
Lucianna Johnston replied to Rosalee de la Forêt's discussion Massage for labor and delivery"I have attended 2 births as a massage therapist..so not a lot..but in both cases there was no way to predict what the mother would need.

Lucianna Johnston replied to Xach Lightner's discussion Massaging Obese Clients"When you know your muscular and skeletal anatomy you can massage any body type. Palpation works much better with a lighter touch so maybe you need to lighten up and listen more with your hands. Also, let go of your expectation of what it is going to…"
