Massage Therapists - Question about intention?!
Question:
Massage Therapists - Question about intention?
Does intention (caring) really matter in massage?
I get the highest grades on evaluations and the most compliments/business card requests than the other students at Cortiva, yet I don't "care" like the other students do. Consequently, other students say "he's not a good massage therapist because he doesn't care," even though I can back up skill on paper better than anyone else.
So does intention REALLY matter? Or is it just something we're fed in school? Clients have never thought that I don't really care. Just a few students.

Because I told them, otherwise they wouldn't know I don't care.

By "evaluation"/on paper, I mean "hands-on massage given to a teacher."
Answers:
How does any one else know whether you care or not apart from yourself? And haven't you heard of the phrase, "putting one's heart into it?" If you love your work, your intentions will obviously come through.
By the way, since you are a massage therapist, think of adding aromatherapy (essential oils), Bach Flowers and Reiki to your skill set. You will make a wonderful healer.
