Competition?
Why would anyone want that? I feel that a mindset like that causes more issues. Stay true to the type of massage you enjoy giving and compatible clients will follow, massage providers of all kinds will burn themselves out trying to compete to win over clients.
I didnโt learn massage therapy to โcompeteโ with anyone and would never intend too.
I enjoy providing massage because I believe healthy touch is something required for wellbeing, many people lack touch/connection in their daily lives.
Clients that donโt agree with that or want more than I give wonโt see me, and thatโs fine because thereโs always gonna be someone else that will give them what they want.
