Hi, welcome or welcome back to my channel.

If you're new here, my name is Ayana.

I'm a licensed massage therapist, esthetician, and spa owner.

And in this video, we're talking about phrases that every single massage therapist should know.

I was inspired to create this video because I was thinking,

you know, what are the things that I struggled with in my practice over time?

And one of the things I struggled with was figuring out what to say,

figuring out how not to feel awkward,

figuring out how to end the session.

Let me know that I'm not the only one who struggled with this,

you know, figuring out what would I say to encourage clients to come back to my practice,

all that stuff.

So I'm going to give you my exact phrasing,

my exact scripts of what I say during my session,

during my intake, after the session,

and also how I set boundaries and what are some of the things that I say to my clients.

So let's start with our intake process.

So the intake is going to vary based on you know

what type of massage you do what their goals for the session are

and so many different other factors

but I want to tell you kind of just what I say after I've done my intake

and I've already discussed what their goals are for the session

and all that good stuff one of the things I might do during the intake process is especially

if they're a new client is I'm going to set the expectation

so I'm going to tell them what they can expect from me and then I'll tell them what I expect from them.

Because with new clients, especially people who have never even had a massage session before or a facial before,

they don't really know what to expect.

So if you don't clearly communicate what they should expect,

then you might find your clients will get on top of the table with their clothes fully on

because you didn't communicate properly what they should have done when you left the room before starting the session.

Something I will say is I'll talk about the pressure.

So this is the exact phrasing that I will use.

I will say for pressure,

I like to start off light.

And after I've warmed up the tissues,

I'll go a little bit deeper.

And then I will check in with you to make sure that the pressure is good.

And at that time, feel free to let me know if you need more or less pressure.

Other than that, I'm just going to let you get in your zone.

I'm not going to disturb you relaxing.

So I'll say something along those lines.

That's the phrasing I'll use.

Even with saying that I'm just letting them know I start off light.

I'm not going to like jam my elbow into your back,

you know, the first two minutes.

Just, you know, be patient with the process.

That's essentially what I'm communicating when I say,

oh, I start off light and then I add pressure over time.

Another thing that I'll say during my intake process is setting the expectation for what happens after I leave the room.

So I'll say this exact phrase.

I'll say, feel free to disrobe to your comfort level.

Most people get down to their underwear,

but whatever you're comfortable with is okay with me.

When I leave the room after you disrobe to your comfort level,

I want you to get underneath the first two set of sheets and I'm going to be starting you facing the ceiling.

So you'll be facing the ceiling and you'll be fully covered underneath the two sheets.

So that essentially is what I would say in order to let them know what happens after I leave the room,

that they can disrobe to their comfort level and that they can get under the two sheets.

Yeah, I will be starting them facing the ceiling.

I like to say facing the ceiling instead of saying,

oh, I'll start use of pine because it's layman's terms.

You don't want to confuse people with our medical terminology and all that stuff.

So that's essentially what I will say during the intake process.

After I've said that, I'll say sound good or I'll ask them if they have any questions for me.

And at that time, I can ask them questions that maybe I didn't answer before.

So that is what I say during my intake.

Let's move on to what to say during the session.

So your client is on the table,

you start off with some compressions,

you start doing the session,

and then, you know, about 10 minutes into the session of actually like doing the massage,

at this point, I'm going to check in with the pressure.

So I'm going to say, how's the pressure?

Could it be deeper or lighter?

Just like that.

That's all I say because I don't want to say,

oh, how's the pressure?

Because that's too open-ended.

Having an open-ended question like that,

your client could say something like, oh, it's good.

Oh, it could be deeper.

But some clients are not comfortable with actually telling you what they want or what they need.

That's why I am very specific and I say,

oh, could the pressure be deeper or lighter?

And that's probably during a session that is more traditional.

During something like lymphatic drainage,

I will check in with them but less often because the pressure has to be specific.

So again, it depends on what type of massage you do.

But yeah, so that's how I check in with the pressure.

I will say, could it be deeper or lighter?

So you want to ask a very specific question.

And then of course you'll adjust accordingly.

So after I've adjusted the pressure,

I will say, how is this?

Could it be deeper or lighter?

And then they'll tell me what it could be based off of that.

I just like to be very specific just

so my client can essentially be forced to tell me how much pressure they want or need.

So that's what I'm going to say during the session.

100

So let's say you've done the whole back or the whole front side, whatever.

101

Now it's time to flip the clients.

102

This is a funny thing to communicate because some people don't always understand because they're in the middle of getting a massage.

103

They're in a different place.

104

So first, I will add some compression just in case they've fallen asleep or something like that.

105

That will gently wake them up

106

and then I will say all right now whenever you're ready

107

I am going to have you turn onto your back so

108

that you're facing the ceiling

109

and then I want you to slide down the table until your head is on the table

110

so that is a very specific direction I'm telling them where their head should face

111

when they flip over then I'm asking them to slide down the table

112

because we all know we don't want their head to be on the face cradle

113

that is very specific and then I like to say whenever you're ready

114

because I do not want to rush them when it comes to flipping over.

115

I don't want them to think,

116

oh, they got to do it right then and there.

117

That is another phrase that I'll say during the session.

118

And then at the end of the session,

119

this is something that I struggled with throughout my practice,

120

especially when I worked at a spa.

121

I was like, how do I end the session?

122

Okay.

123

So this is exactly what I would say at the end of the session.

124

When the session is over and I'm done,

125

I will actually say their name so that they're kind of woken up.

126

I'll say, all right, Janice, that is our session.

127

Take your time getting off the table and I will meet you on the other side of the door.

128

So that is essentially what I would say at the end of a session,

129

just to let them know that I am dipping out,

130

I'm leaving, and I will meet you on the other side of the door.

131

So that's exactly what I would say.

132

I would not leave it ambiguous.

133

I'm not going to be like, oh, that's our session.

134

And then that's it.

135

I'm giving them their next step to take.

136

And this is like really,

137

especially for new clients, you're not going to say this to a client that is returning to you.

138

So we talked about what we're going to say during our intake,

139

during the session, flipping the client at the end of the session.

140

Now let's talk about what you're going to say after the session is over

141

and then you're encouraging them to come back to your practice.

142

So we're at the end After the session,

143

it's time to get our payment,

144

it's time to say our goodbyes,

145

and then it's also time to encourage our clients to book with us again.

146

I have a quick video on my five-step rebooking process.

147

I'll link it somewhere up here.

148

In that five-step rebooking process,

149

one of the steps is to check in with your client.

150

After your client has come out of the room and they've had their session,

151

and maybe you give them water,

152

maybe you give them some type of refreshment,

153

whatever it is, you'll check in with them ask them how they're feeling at

154

that time they can tell you how they're feeling like you know they'll give you your praises you know all

155

that stuff if you really help them

156

and then you're going to let them know

157

that you have a treatment plan for them

158

or just let them know how they're going to keep up with themselves even after the session

159

so what they're going to do in between their sessions to essentially get the results

160

that they want so whether that stretches whether

161

that is some type of self massage

162

that they have to do that's what you're going to let them know

163

And then you're going to open your calendar and you're going to only give them two to three options to book.

164

You never, ever, ever, and this is something my massage instructor taught me,

165

is you never want to just say that your availability is wide open.

166

You always want to give them a couple of options to book because even after getting a massage,

167

you know, you don't want them to be confused.

168

You don't want them to have a whole lot of options.

169

You just want to give them a couple of options to book and then go from there.

170

So never really reveal that if you have full availability or that you're not busy.

171

And I can expand on that in another video.

172

So you're going to lead the invitation.

173

So this is the part where you're going to be confident and invite them to come back.

174

After you've given them a treatment plan,

175

you're going to say, okay,

176

let's go ahead and book your next session.

177

I have this time and this time available.

178

So that is very to the point.

179

It assumes that they want to see you again

180

because by this time you should have already sent the energy to see if they want to book with you again.

181

It just shows confidence.

182

The fact that you're saying,

183

okay, let's go ahead and book your next session,

184

or you can do it more permission based.

185

So this is where you're going to say,

186

so are you ready to book your next session?

187

Essentially, that's the same thing,

188

but you're phrasing it like a question because that kind of seems like you're asking for permission to book their next session.

189

So that's just another approach to go about it.

190

I'm hoping that all of your new clients say,

191

yes, let's go ahead and book our next session.

192

That's when you're gonna go ahead and put them on the books

193

and book their following sessions That is what you're gonna say after the session.

194

You never want to skip this step I know a lot

195

of you are nervous to ask your client to come back to see you because you're like,

196

oh I don't know if they liked it But you know

197

if you are checking in with them and you're communicating properly Just go ahead and ask just ask.

198

All right Are you ready to book your next session

199

and then they can tell you yes or no So after you've already gotten your client rebooked for their next session,

200

I want to give you some bonus phrases that you can use.

201

Let's say you're talking to your clients on the phone or you're expecting payment and all that good stuff.

202

So just some bonus phrases that I use in my practice to make my life easier.

203

So now I want to talk about setting boundaries with your clients.

204

What's great about this part of the video is these are scripts that my virtual receptionist will actually use.

205

All of my receptionists, when they're answering the phone, they're saying these scripts.

206

So one of the things that we do is, for example, confirmation calls.

207

208

if we have an appointment coming up in the next couple of days as a courtesy we offer confirmation calls

209

so something that my receptionist will say on the confirmation calls

210

or i'll do it myself is we'll say i'm looking at some notes here

211

so that's why i'm looking this way hi this is so

212

and so calling from true massage

213

and body work i just wanted to confirm our appointment at xyz time

214

if you need to cancel or reschedule please call xyz number within 24 hours

215

or there will be xyz fee have a great day and

216

so that is an example of what you can say

217

when you're doing your confirmation calls next i want to tell you what we say

218

when we're actually booking appointments anytime a client is booking an

219

appointment over the phone my receptionist have to say this

220

or else we cannot book their session or

221

if they're booking online they have to agree to these terms

222

in order to book a session actually let me bring up my other note It's a very long script

223

because we want to make sure that there's no miscommunications.

224

So this is exactly what they're going to say during their confirmation calls.

225

All right.

226

So this says, please note that once you have booked an appointment with us,

227

it means that we have reserved time in our schedule to exclusively travel to you.

228

All appointments require a valid card on file.

229

Canceling

230

or rescheduling your appointment less than 24 hours before it's scheduled

231

to take place will be subject to a penalty of 50% to 100% of the total cost of service.

232

To avoid a cancellation fee,

233

you must cancel more than 24 hours before the time of your session.

234

We do not accept text messages or social media messages for cancellations.

235

In the case that we cannot reach you when we arrive or feel unsafe at your location,

236

we reserve the right to charge 100% for the session.

237

To avoid a cancellation fee,

238

you must cancel more than 24 hours in advance.

239

It's a little bit redundant because we want to double make sure

240

that they know the policy so they can't say

241

that they didn't know when it's time to charge them because it was a no call,

242

no show, or something like that.

243

So that is another example of a phrase that you can use,

244

whether you're booking appointments over the phone or whatever the case may be.

245

So what happens if your client,

246

they're a no call, no show,

247

what would you say to them?

248

This is the phrasing that I would say.

249

So I would basically call them and if I get their voicemail,

250

I would say, hi, I'm calling because our session started at so-and-so time and now it's this time.

251

So if you would like to still keep this session,

252

we will be ending at the time scheduled.

253

If you do not show up for this session,

254

then you will be subject to 100% for the total cost of the service.

255

Thank you.

256

Have a great day.

257

So of course, you're going to do like whatever your greeting is as well.

258

You know, hi, I'm calling from True Massage and Bodywork.

259

But that is essentially the phrasing that you would use for that.

260

I really hope this video was helpful for you.

261

I tried to be as specific as possible for what are the phrases that I would use in my practice.

262

If you have any phrases that you would also include or phrases that you absolutely do not say anymore,

263

please put it in the comments below and make sure

264

that you're following me on Instagram

265

because I post to my stories just about every day showing you behind the scenes of my business and my life.

266

So go ahead and follow me on Instagram and I will see y'all in the next video.

267

Bye!

דקדוק בסרטון הזה

המבנים שהדובר משתמש בהם הכי הרבה, עם המילים המדויקות מהסרטון:

מבנה	בסרטון
הווה מושלם (Present perfect) have/has + past participle — פעולה שקרתה בעבר ועדיין יש לה חשיבות או השפעה עכשיו	I've done · I've already discussed · have never even had
סביל (Passive voice) be + past participle — הדגש הוא על מה שקורה, לא על מי שעושה את הפעולה	was inspired · be fully covered · could be based
משפטי זיקה (Relative clauses) who / which + clause — מידע נוסף על אדם או דבר	one who struggled · people who have

הגייה ששווה לשים לב אליה

הדובר משתמש ב-120 קיצורים וצורות מקוצרות, כמו you're, I'm, I'll. אמרו אותם בצורה הקצרה, כפי שאתם שומעים אותם.

הצלילים של “th”: therapist /ˈθɛɹəpɪst/, underneath /ˌʌndɚˈniθ/, aesthetician /ɛsθɪˈtɪʃən/, cloth /klɒθ/
הצלילים של “sh” ו-“zh”: massage /məˈsɑ(d)ʒ/, confirmation /ˌkɑn.fəɹˈmeɪ.ʃən/, receptionist /ɹɪˈsɛp.ʃə.nɪst/, cancellation /kænsəˈleɪʃən/, compression /kəmˈpɹɛʃ.ən/

צלילים שדוברי עברית מתקשים בהם:

/æ/ — פתוח יותר מה-“אֶ” העברית, לא כמו “a” ב-“cup”: cancellation /kænsəˈleɪʃən/, lymphatic /lɪmˈfæ.tɪk/, ambiguous /æmˈbɪɡ.ju.əs/
/r/ — הלשון לא נוגעת בשום מקום, לא ה-“ר” הגרונית: confirmation /ˌkɑn.fəɹˈmeɪ.ʃən/, receptionist /ɹɪˈsɛp.ʃə.nɪst/, disrobe /dɪsˈɹoʊb/, reschedule /ɹiˈskɛd͡ʒʊl/, compression /kəmˈpɹɛʃ.ən/
עיצור קולי בסוף מילה — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ בלי להפוך אותם לאטומים: massage /məˈsɑ(d)ʒ/, disrobe /dɪsˈɹoʊb/, disturb /dɪˈstɜːb/, confuse /kənˈfjuːz/, drainage /ˈdɹeɪnəd͡ʒ/

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
