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 didn’t learn massage therapy to “compete” 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 don’t agree with that or want more than I give won’t see me, and that’s fine because there’s always gonna be someone else that will give them what they want.
