Workshop Title: Cutting Edge Chair Massage
Date & Times: Wednesday, July 15, 2015
at 8:00am-12:00pm & 2pm-6pm
8 CE Contact Hours
Chair massage is the bridge for many people into the world of professional touch. However, it is also one of the best bridges for massage practitioners into a successful career. In this seminar participants will learn the TouchPro approach to marketing and delivering chair massage services. This approach is grounded in “openness” — an open heart, mind, and body and open business practices. Massage and business relationships are best based on trust and a structure that is safe and transparent from the first encounter to the last with each customer.
While chair massage is typically positioned as a way to get table clients or provide community service, this seminar takes the position that chair massage is a specialty. Class time will alternate between between hands-on work and marketing discussions making for a lively and engaging day.
Handouts will be provided for both portions. At least half the participants should have a massage chair, so bring a friend…

“I attended my first World Massage Festival in 2014 in Las Vegas. It was one of the best experiences I ever had. It was such a privilege to be in the company of so many esteemed colleagues. The workshops were top notch and there were plenty of networking opportunities and chances to make new friends. I highly recommend this Festival to other massage therapists. Looking forward to attending again!” – Robert Melchioris
