It was definitely one of the best moves. I’ve made in business. Make more money and have more time if you wish. It is scary at first but my wife reminded me that if I adjust my prices back down when I felt like it wasn’t taking off right away then I was accepting less than what I’m worth. Glad I was patient and listened.
Clients have to understand you need to make money to make a living doing this that’s one of the hardest things about being a massage therapist because we are empathetic people and we want things to work out for other people so we’re afraid to ask for what we really want But the reality is if a client does not want to be your client anymore because you want to charge more for your service that’s a great thing to learn they’re toxic client It’s good you’re getting rid of them because you have now more time too. Find clients that value your time want to see you succeeded
I don’t. Because my work is injury-based I wanted to align more with what physical therapist and chiropractors do. I do, however charge more than the average massage therapist in my area.
I think it really depends on cost of living. But if I had to ballpark it I would not recommend anything under $90 for one hour. If I had to do it over again I would start $110…in office. House calls are a totally different beast.
