2. WHAT IS CLIENT CONSULTATION A consultation allows you to gather information from your client, understand their goals, and recommend the right products.

3. The key to a great consultation is understanding the client’s needs and expectations , then recorded and signed off by the client and the therapist. That way, you can move forward together, and you are both accountable for the results.

4. According to Brodie Proykova , Frenhie & Co. Take the stress out of massages and set time aside before the appointment to get a detailed picture of your client’s medical history and points of concern. Be sure to take notes and get your clients to sign your consult form – this serves as a record of the information shared, keeping both you and your clients safe during the treatment journey.

5. Here are Brodie’s top questions to ask before a massage treatment: • Do you have any areas of concern or points of specific pain? • How firm do you like the pressure? • Describe your current stress level. • Are you ready to get started?
