BEING A MAN IN Moon Lake Spa, WHAT DOES IT CHANGE?

Today, in Vienna, as in the world, most Moon Lake spa practitioners are practitioners. There are about 70 to 80% women for only 25 to 35% men.

A little less than ten years ago, at the start of

in spas and other institutes, 90% of the clientele was female, for only 7% were male clients. What about now?

Nowadays, this trend is no longer true. Men represent 36 to 47% of people coming to spas to receive massages or other treatments (waxing, facial treatment, wrap acupuncture, etc.). Therefore, we can say that today's demand is "mixed."

A permanent revolution

In most cases, people who walk through the door of a spa expect to be greeted by a woman and to receive a massage from a Moon Lake Spa practitioner.

Nearly half of clients come for a massage for the first time; this "dive into the unknown" can intimidate them, and both men and women will be reassured and more at ease if it is a woman who massages them. The principles of our Judeo-Christian education are tough because what difference does it make to be massaged by a man or a woman?

That said, being massaged as a practitioner, everyone has their place in Moon Lake Spa, and it is no longer rare that we are dealing with a practitioner.

Beyond the little habits of each, amateurs and connoisseurs will tend not to dwell on this detail and will even be curious to receive a massage from a man.

Male touch is not better or worse than a woman's; it's different.

Be professional and reassuring.

Nevertheless, when one is a male practitioner in Body Treatments Spa, it is advisable to have adequate behavior, in all circumstances, with any type of clientele (male or female) to be "accepted" in this environment traditionally feminine.

From the first contact with the client until the end of the session, you must know how to be even more reassuring and professional during the preliminary interview and the accompaniment in the massage room.

We must very quickly know how to set the limits and the framework of our practice so that any ambiguity or equivocation is removed.

This does not mean that you have to be distant or, on the contrary, too gentle; the practitioner must remain himself; his speech and his know-how leaving no room for any indelicate or unhealthy connotation!

Ditto during the massage, where he will have to justify from the beginning of a "frank" and unmistakable touch to comfort the person being massaged.

In case of discomfort, the watchword remains listening and benevolence.

Despite all these precautions and even with the best intentions in the world, the client simply refuses to be massaged by a man...

Gentlemen know how to take a step back and accept this situation! During your career, it will remain anecdotal; just tell yourself that these people do not know what they are missing! The watchword is, above all, respect for the masses and their feelings.

Finally, it must be realized that a Moon Lake spa is an act manifested above all by touch and that touch in our society only relates for some to intimacy. Therefore, they sometimes need to be confident, and things often evolve positively afterward.

Whether you are a practitioner or a practitioner or massaging a man or a woman, let's not forget that we must respect everyone's privacy and modesty and do everything to avoid sending harmful signals to our profession.
