#most massage therapists are contractors

[cass-ass]

If you schedule a massage and just don't show up, you are stealing from that massage therapist's paycheck. That is an hour they have to wait around at work to not get paid for. If you aren't going to show up, don't book it or cancel the day before.

I need to pay bills too.

Canada RMT Tax Exempt Petition 2024

there is an official petition open now for massage therapy to not have taxes charged on top of the treatment cost!!

so firstly it makes getting a massage treatment from a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) a lot more affordable!

secondly, this is huge for RMTs since we’re seen as a medical profession here and yet have to charge taxes, unlike chiros and physios that are tax exempt as medical expenses.

most therapists work as sub-contractors at clinics, so are taxed as small businesses but don’t have the expenses to claim to offset that cost (the clinics we work for claim the expenses but foot the tax bill to us once we make 30k). it gets pretty expensive trying to pay those fees each year on top of regular expenses and CEUs.

so every [Canadian] signature on this would be super appreciated and helpful!! As well as boosting the message 🙏

Thank-you so much for your time!

📚💸 Career + Wealth Analysis 💸📚

One of the most frequent questions astrologers receive from their clients when doing a chart reading is about their career, profession or work.

The labor we do on an everyday basis is essential when it comes to our finances and self fulfillment. It can either be something we enjoy doing that meets all of our needs, or what brings a paycheck yet lacks inner satisfaction.

There are several ways to confirm if the work you are doing is activating your Venus properly, and you may wonder why that planet in particular? Simple! Venus is related to finances, luxury, and comfort. The jobs that align with our Venus sign tend to be the ones that not only fits into our financial needs, but also provides a genuine feeling of contentment.

So, if you want the straight forward answer to “What career/field/job/hobby can help me create wealth and feel joyful about it?” Then Venus is your short answer. Remember that wealth will look differently for everyone since we all have different perceptions of how much money is truly enough to have the lifestyle we dream of.

Look for the Sidereal sign that your Venus falls in, find below the careers or fields related to it, and confirm for yourself the difference in your wealth accumulation once you incorporate it into your life.

Note: please keep in mind that if your Venus is conj, square or opposite a malefic planet/s (Mars, Saturn, Rahu/Ketu), there will be some natural resistance or challenges that you will experience throughout life with work, job, profession, or financial matters. Venus in Virgo, Scorpio, and Capricorn to a degree could also experience similar experiences.

The house where this planet is placed also tells a lot about the way your job manifests in your life (places, people, etc). Now, there are many ways to remediate any negative effects, so no need to be concerned or feel doomed.

There are many advanced Vedic Astrologers who mostly focus on remediation of planets that are in difficult or challenged positions, so take a look at the options available if you ever feel like there's an extra difficulty for you in those matters.

The Service Organisations You Want (and Don't Want) Relationships With

Our daily experiences and decision-making processes can be greatly impacted by the relationships we have with service providers in today's interconnected society. But not every service connection is made equal. Here, we examine five categories of service organizations—five where establishing a rapport might be advantageous and five where it would not be.

Service Companies You Would Like to Work With: 

Medical Providers: Why: Health is vital and individualised. Establishing a close rapport with a healthcare professional, be it a specialist or primary care physician, fosters confidence and guarantees treatment continuity. When dealing with health issues, this relationship can reassure you and result in better, more individualised care.

Advisors for Finances: Why? Taking care of money is a very personal and complicated task. Advice can be more specifically tailored to your financial circumstances, risk tolerance, and goals if you have a close working relationship with your financial advisor. With time, this partnership may provide you the assurance you need to make critical financial choices.

Legal Services: Why? Because legal issues often call for a high level of trust and understanding. Having a working connection with a legal service provider guarantees that they are aware of your particular circumstances and are able to provide more proactive and knowledgeable assistance, whether it is for personal problems such as estate planning or business-related legal difficulties.

Services for Home Maintenance and Repair: Why Probably the most valuable item you have is your home. Having a relationship with dependable service providers, such as general contractors, electricians, and plumbers, can result in improved support and faster emergency response times. It also guarantees that they are aware of the particular requirements of your property.

Personal care services, such as therapists and hairdressers: Why? Personal care services are very customised, such as those offered by massage therapists, therapists, and hairdressers. Because of their relationship, they are aware of your wants, preferences, and background, which results in more reliable and gratifying service.

Service Organizations You Might Not Want a Relationship With:

Low-Cost Airlines: Reason: Rather than competing on service, low-cost airlines usually focus on pricing. Finding the least expensive route from point A to point B is the foundation of the value proposition. Given that these airlines typically don't offer very individualised service, a relationship might not be very beneficial in this situation.

Utility Providers (such as Water and Electricity): Why? Although utility services are necessary, they are frequently controlled and commoditised, leaving little opportunity for customisation. The majority of customers need dependable service at an affordable price without requiring a personal connection with their supplier.

Fast food chains: Why? Because it's quick and convenient. The product is standardised, and the interaction is transactional. Developing a relationship is of little use to the customer who is mostly looking for quick and inexpensive meals.

Insurance Companies: Why? Despite their importance, dealing with insurance companies is typically restricted to filing claims or renewing policies. Since the service is usually only used during specific events (like accidents or damages), many clients prefer simple, quick transactions over developing a long-term relationship.

Retail Banking for Basic Services: Why? Because these services are frequently routine and standardised, they are ideal for basic banking needs like checking and savings accounts. Since digital banking has become more popular, many consumers now choose efficiency and convenience over a face-to-face interaction with a bank for these fundamental services.

In conclusion, the benefits you derive from the relationship and the type of service you receive from a service organisation determine how valuable it is to have a relationship with them. Relationships are conducive to greater results and a more fulfilling experience, especially when it comes to services that demand trust, personalisation, or a sustained commitment. However, the advantages of establishing a relationship may be negligible for more transactional or commoditised services, where clients may place a higher value on affordability, effectiveness, or convenience. Making more informed judgements and receiving better service might result from knowing where to invest in these connections.

Because of this, many aspiring or seasoned cosmetologists naturally prefer to enter this field.

1. What is the future of work?

The massage sector is anticipated to develop by 23 percent until the year 2022, which is substantially faster than the average for vocations, according nail wholesale supply near me to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

Preparing for a Massage Interview - What Every Massage Therapist Should Know and Ask

Before you can start working as a massage therapist, you have to perform a massage interview to get the job, and interviewing for a massage position is quite different than most other interview processes. For many massage therapists, the first job they hold directly out of massage school is for a chiropractor, or a spa / salon owner instead of working as an independent contractor, and it's important to know what to ask in order to accept the right position. Understanding if you will work as an employee or an independent contractor - especially when a massage therapist is beginning his or her practice - is helpful when deciding where to work.

Why You Need a Resume and Cover Letter When Interviewing for a Massage Position

While you will not be sitting at a desk or crunching numbers, you do need to prepare a resume and cover letter for your anticipated massage interview. Even though it is a non-traditional environment, your employer will want to see that you are a professional massage therapist who can represent himself or herself adequately, and a well-written cover letter can show that you have good communication skills - an invaluable asset when working with a diverse set of clients. Be sure to include information about your school, your modalities, and your intended certifications - the more a potential employer knows about you and your specific interests, the more you will stand apart from the rest of the crowd and the higher the likelihood that you will soon be interviewing for the massage position.

Coming in for a Massage Interview

When you receive a call to come in for an interview, prepare to actually give a massage. This might surprise some applicants, but you are interviewing for a massage position, and your employer wants to know what you can do and what your style is like. Because you want to be comfortable while giving the massage, be sure to wear an appropriate outfit hamam for both a massage and an in-person interview. Often, clean, long black yoga pants and a collared shirt will do just fine. Unlike most interviews where applicants are expected to wear slacks and a button-down shirt, your potential employer will expect a massage therapist to be dressed for the test massage. Just to be sure, when you schedule the massage interview, ask over the phone what would be appropriate attire. Additionally, it is always a good idea to arrive at the massage interview fully prepared - a massage therapist should bring supplies to the interview such as sheets, and lotion or oil. While the interviewer will likely have these supplies on hand, it is always a good idea to be in control of the session by being fully prepared.

When interviewing for a massage position, depending on the size of the business, a human resources person or the owner will likely be the first person to sit down with you for a few moments and talk with you about your education and experience. During the massage interview, be prepared to talk about what you learned in school, what your strongest and weakest modalities are, what you envision for yourself as a massage therapist, and about your previous experience with clients. Then you will give a test massage, either an abbreviated (30 minutes or less) or standard (one hour) massage, showing your abilities to give Swedish and deep tissue massage. Interviewing for a massage position sometimes, but not often, involves you being asked to display competence in additional modalities that you have listed on your resume such as hot stone therapy, or sports massage.

It is important to be yourself during the massage interview. Just relax and give the same massage that you would give to a client. Do not be nervous, because it will come through in your touch. Your employer is looking to see your skill as a massage therapist, and the more natural and relaxed you are the better interviewing for the massage position will go.

Getting the Job and Working

If the massage interview goes well and you get the job, you will likely begin either as a full-time or part-time massage therapist. Be sure to speak with your employer up front about the method of compensation and your designation as either an employee or an independent contractor, because these are very different and can make a big impact on your revenue and tax filing at the end of the year. This is a very important question to ask when interviewing for the massage position as employees are expected to work during a set number of hours, can only work for one employer at a time, and must comply with the employer's standards of service and instructions about how to deliver massage therapy. From a financial standpoint, make sure that you understand during the massage interview if you will be an employee, as employers pay the majority of the employee's taxes, and the massage therapist is often eligible for benefits such as health insurance and paid vacation time.

Stressed out Rant.

Sometimes I wonder if there is anyone out there like me…constantly worrying about life, and then being stressed because I am worrying too much. There must be people that feel the same way, right? There must be people who understand what I mean, although I am sure it sounds confusing.

2020 has not been the best year for me or for anyone I’m sure, but it has also not been my worst year. For that, I am grateful. It has had its ups and downs, and overall brought me to a place of more clarity than ever before. I have spent most of the year on my couch truthfully, but I have actually spent time on my mental health, learning new things, and delving deeper into philosophy (which I have always been interested in). Overall, it has been a decent year for me. Still…I find myself in a place I am all too familiar with, feeling stressed.

A few years ago I decided to quit my job to become a massage therapist. I left a job of security for a career holistic care. I wanted to be part of an industry that helped people. Helped them to feel better physically and mentally. Unfortunately, that is not really the experience I have had. I went from having a steady pay check and living well (monetarily), to a life of barely being able to make it by. I made every effort to make sure I was getting a steady stream of money, took a job at a spa, worked for an independent contractor site, and promoted myself at the gym I frequented. Still, nothing. It seemed no matter what I did I was unable to pull myself out of this rut I was in. I switched up my career because I thought I would genuinely be happier. To me helping others seemed ideal, but no one wanted my help. Well, not if they had to pay for it. Everyone I told about my career was more than happy to volunteer, you know, if I needed some “practice”. Then 2020 hit and there was no massage available at all for about 4 months. To be honest this was kind of a relief…I mean being forced not to work was better than admitting to yourself, you are failing.

I like most people, collected unemployment. For the first time in about 12 years, I didn’t have a job. For most of the 12 years I had two jobs and went to school. I was always busy, and for the most part, liked it that way. I have never been rich, but was always able to make it by. This was nice for a girl who grew up extremely poor. I mean sleeping in a car or motel some nights, or 6 people in one room poor. On unemployment it was nice, of course we received the extra so that was nice. I paid some of my debt off, though not all of it, not even close. Most of this debt from that massage schooling that has yet to pay off. So even though the unemployment was nice, I have been constantly trying to find work to ensure a steady income.

It is rough out there. I am applying to more steady jobs, since massage is obviously not paying off. The issue is basically no one is hiring. When I do get an interview I get judged a lot for getting my massage license. People fear that I will not be serious about this job because I have switched up my career in the past. Pay no mind to the fact that I was at my last company for 6 years, and multiple other jobs for 2-3 years, in my younger years. I have worked hard my whole life, and have always dedicated myself to whatever I do. Still, it seems no one cares. So, I am back to where I have been many times before, worried. What else can I do? Seems to be the question I often ask. Every time I make an effort to work harder to switch things up, it seems I am too late or perhaps, too early. I am not sure. What I do know is…I don’t know what to do, but as usual, I will try to just figure it out.

For the watercolor asks -- indigo, mars brown, light green, and scarlet. Tell me all the things, haha.

💕Excellent!  We can be greedy together tonight.

indigo: what’s the best/sweetest compliment you have ever received? 

Hrmmmm.  I’ve had a few, I know, but remembering is always the tricky part.  One of my favorites was in a professional context—I had a yoga student who sees a lot of massage therapists, and he happened to be in my neighborhood one day so he called to see if I was available.  About midway through, as I was working on a particularly stubborn knot, he said, impressed, “You know, you have a very educated elbow.”  I about busted a gut laughing and asked him to put it in a review on my Massagebook page; sadly, he never did, but I treasure the memory anyway.  (I’ve thought more than once that it’d make a great name for a massage-related blog, but given my track record trying to manage multiple social media accounts, that seems doomed to fail...perhaps I’ll make it a Tumblr tag, though!)

As for a more personal compliment, one that’s stuck in my mind was probably a good seven years ago.  I was walking through downtown Tucson, which is a particularly funky/arty kind of area (ASU is not far away), and I passed a random dude on the street.  We made eye contact just briefly before we passed, and as I went by I heard him say “You are beautiful—” and I get complimented on my looks a lot, especially with the hair, but it was the way he said it that stuck in my mind.  Almost reverently, under his breath, like a prayer or an expression of wonder.  I turned and gave him a big smile before continuing on my way.

mars brown; what’s a movie that always puts a smile on your face/makes you laugh?

I have lots!  What We Do In The Shadows and The Lost Boys are both solid choices, because I love my horror-comedy vampires; V for Vendetta is one I turn to when I need to reinspire my faith in humanity.  Juno is probably my warm-fuzzy-feelings movie, I love the characters and their relationships in it.  And Scott Pilgrim vs. the World never fails to make me laugh, despite its use of some tropes that I have less patience for as I get older. 

green light; are you in a comfortable place in life? if not, what do you think might make it better?

This is a somewhat complicated question for me.  I have a long history of trying hard to find the comfortable place as quickly as possible and stay there as long as possible, whether in work or social relationships or hobbies or whatever.  And that’s not necessarily a bad thing; it means I pick up new skills relatively quickly because I’m devoted to practicing them until I have them down.  But obviously, if I don’t keep learning, I get bored and stagnate.  It’s easy for me to grow so afraid of having to keep doing difficult things that I give up on something.

All of which is to say, this might have something to do with why I took on the condo board president gig despite it basically being another part-to-full-time job.  It’s been a rough couple of weeks, but I feel like I’m starting to get a handle on things.  As to what might make it better, well, a 30-hour day would be a good start, but I’m willing to settle for a decent filing system, a slate of good contractors on call, and another $80K in reserves so I can stop worrying about when our roof will need replacing. :P

scarlet; describe your current crush/es.

Oh, my friend.  I have so many.  Really, I could copy/paste your answer right here—I admire so many things in so many people.  Kindness, and creativity, and wit, and laughter, and a willingness to be humbled by the humanity in another—all crazy attractive.  Sadly, being poly doesn’t automatically mean I can pursue them all (or perhaps not sadly, as I’d probably spontaneously discorporate from trying to move in a hundred directions at once)—finding someone I’m attracted to, who’s attracted to me, who’s interested in the type of relationship I have to offer and in a place to pursue it ethically is...tricky at best. But it’s nice to know there are so many possibilities out there, even if most of them are unlikely to ever play out.  💕

Things to know to about becoming a massage therapist

What do you need to know to become a massage therapist? This is one of the most essential questions that people fail to do their research on before they decide to go to massage school.  Questions such as,  how much can you make, can you make a good living, what do you need to learn, etc.

Most often when you are just thinking about the idea that you might want to become a massage therapist you often don’t even know what questions to ask.  Things that are a tad bit off the wall, but really are questions that should be considered.

You have to touch people! Skin to skin contact! Remeber this profession is about helping people, even if they are a stranger.

Most massage therapists start their own business. Even most jobs are actually sub-contractor jobs so that really means that you are starting your own business. Even jobs require that you do sales of products and promote your services.

Every day you have to do something to get a steady flow of new clients – write pages for your website, start a marketing campaign, network with doctors and other professionals, sign up with Last minute Massage ;o).  Even if you have a full day of massage clients you have to do something to keep clients coming in the door.

You really should cut your nails.  Clients don’t want to be scratched.  I know I definitely do not.

Erections are a reality.   You should to be prepared and know how to deal with them and get support in dealing with them.  There isn’t any one simple answer.  They just are.

The physical and mental strain of working on people all day in a dark room, alone, not talking for the most part is isolating.  Taking care of yourself so that you can handle the demands is the first step in being a successful massage therapist.

Are there any things I’m missing here, that you have thought of that you didn’t think of when you decided to become a massage therapist?

Modern AUs I Wouldn’t Want to Be Responsible for Writing, Part 1: Pillars of Eternity

@bloodilymerry, this post is your fault. So, we got to thinking about how we would populate a modern AU of the Pillars of Eternity series—and by modern AU, I mean one taking place in the contemporary or near-contemporary real world, with no or minimal fantasy elements, because that’s the most difficult kind to make workable and therefore the most fun puzzle to solve. Ideas below the cut.

Consider all of these to be footnoted with “research well, and tread lightly”; the games touch on some heavy issues to begin with, and without the fantasy setting to give us some distance from them and make them easier to bear, we can end up in some really sensitive territory. Hence why I wouldn’t want to be in charge of actually writing any of this—getting this stuff right would be a heavy responsibility.

Aloth: Educated but didn’t have the connections to get a job in his field, so we may find him working a menial job (or indeed several part-time ones) to get by. Depending on exactly when and where our AU starts and what his standing with the Leaden Key is when we meet him, he’s either still with the cult he joined to get away from his abusive family or beginning the process of extricating himself.

Edér: Can stand largely as he is, as a farmhand and war veteran. This is going to end up touching on geopolitics as well as more personal issues like family tensions and PTSD, especially since 15ish years before the present day would put his and Woden’s military careers in the years after 9/11. I leave how to wrangle their ethnicity and religion and the relation of those things to The War as an exercise to the reader.

Sagani: Oof. The obvious choice is to make her Inuit, isn’t it, or if not that then from some other indigenous group. Which’ll mean she’s affected by some serious issues and prejudices. (For one, the settler state considering her fitness as a mother suspect.)

Hiravias: Either indigenous or a poor Gaelic or Welsh speaker from the areas where those languages are hanging on. Oh, and the “wandering druid” thing translates into him being homeless.

Grieving Mother: Needs some changes if we’re stripping away the fantasy elements. Perhaps she was recommending substances or methods to her patients that were leaving them or their babies seriously ill or worse, and she had some kind of breakdown from the guilt and isn’t terribly functional when we meet her. (The exact words I used when spitballing this may or may not have been “woo-peddling hippie”.)

Durance: That asshole who’s constantly bragging about how many of Those People he was instrumental in shooting/torturing/blowing up during his time as a military contractor. (In front of Edér, too, who comes from a community of Those People and is already kind of conflicted about his military service.) In between the misogyny, racism, and generally being abhorrent. Should probably leave at least some characters and a decent chunk of the audience wondering why he hasn’t been hauled in front of a war crimes tribunal yet.

Pallegina: Her godlike body dysphoria is too good a metaphor for transness to not just make the modern version trans and have done with it. Beyond that, she’d be embassy staff from some country in the southwestern quarter of Europe.

Kana: A grad student from somewhere in the Asia-Pacific region—probably Japan, judging by some of the linguistic and cultural coding of Rauatai—born to Polynesian immigrants. He’s studying something about the ancient world (perhaps he’s a classics student, if we run with the Engwithans being fantasy Greco-Romans), and whatever it is turns out to not be what he was expecting.

Maneha: Well, she’s from the same country as Kana, clearly. I’m not sure the regular military is a good fit for her character, so who’s she running with? A private security contractor? A gang?

Zahua: Could go a few ways—monk, traditional shaman, modern occultist. Either way, he’s retreated into overdone asceticism and spiritual pride to deal with trauma in his past. What exactly that trauma is and what to make of his origins (the obvious choice is some Mexican or Central American Native group) I again leave as an exercise to the reader.

Devil of Caroc: Well, the obvious change is that she’s still human. She can stand as a serial killer out for revenge against the people who committed violence against her community during The War. She’s alive and out of prison only because she was released into an experimental program administered by Galvino; he gets away with treating her horribly because no one around them wants to be seen caring about a serial killer.

Serafen: Grew up desperately poor in gang- or militia-held territory. He’s still running with them when we meet him, though they send him forth with a job to do.

Tekēhu: A sheltered member of the native elite in whatever country the Ruas came from. Coasting through university on brilliance and no one being bothered to really make him work at it. A party boy with an eyebrow-raising number of sexual partners. And hey, are we still doing the “godlike = trans” thing? Fuck it, make him trans. It'd explain why his love interests feel the need to ask him about his junk, too.

Maia: Can stand as she is, Kana’s sister who joined the military.

Xoti: A missionary (she’d probably have to be Christian) from the southern US. Her bisexuality, Mexican heritage, and inordinate fondness for Santa Muerte make her kind of suspect in the eyes of her fellow missionaries. There are probably rumors of her being a crypto-Satanist or something.

Ydwin: Not an actual vampire, just creepy. Can probably stand as she is otherwise (I imagine she’d be from one of the Nordic countries).

Fassina: A grad student from the same country as Pallegina, studying something obscure with a deeply shitty professor.

Konstanten: Was in the military in his younger days, stationed somewhere that he was able to get up to a lot of mischief. The rest of his story can stand, both the rural origins and the post-military career as a massage therapist.

Rekke: I’d need more information about him and Yezuha to really do him justice, but a dry, mountainous country in the east? Sounds like somewhere in Central Asia to me. Something happened, probably involving those buildings that caught fire, and he had to get out in a hurry; he’s barely learned a word of English when we meet him.

Vatnir: From the same Nordic country as Ydwin, I suppose. Chronically ill, maybe not cis either, and ended up in a leadership position in a cult through a series of ill-thought-through decisions despite not really believing in their tenets. Whoopsie.

Mirke: Come on, drunks who get into fights a lot are everywhere.
