Well this video is for you.
4
In this video I will be showing you my mobile massage kit
5
and how to set up a massage table for your clients.
6
This setup is designed for the luxury market and
7
if you follow these suggestions your clients will have a really good first impression of you,
8
your professionalism, and your commitment to quality.
9
I will provide links to all the pieces of my kit in the description below.
10
So be sure to check those out if you're interested.
11
As a bonus, I'm going to teach you a little something special at the very end of the video,
12
so stick around.
13
I'm currently using a Earthlight massage table and carrying case which is just behind me here.
14
It sits on top of an aluminum trolley or cart specifically designed for massage tables.
15
I found that on amazon.com it's by far my favorite massage trolley
16
that i've ever used sits right on top of there it's light enough
17
that if you have to carry the table up
18
or down stairs it's no big deal
19
and yet the wheels move magically as well
20
and then inside the massage table carrying case there's also a
21
large pocket there up front you can fit anything you want in
22
that bag i personally put the face cradle
23
and face cradle holder in there as well as the Thermo4 moist heating pack that I like to carry with me.
24
It's an electric heating pack but it fits nicely right in that pocket as well.
25
This is a large wheeled duffel.
26
It's large enough to carry the massage bolster and the table warmer
27
and that's why I chose one this large is I wanted to be able to fit everything inside one big bag.
28
You will notice when I open the bag
29
that I have a lot of the linens all separated out inside of garbage bags.
30
I do this for sanitation reasons.
31
I never want any dirty linens to touch anywhere inside of that bag.
32
And let's go ahead and take a look inside this large duffel bag.
33
First I have the bolster.
34
That's the comfort bolster.
35
It's an earthlight bolster.
36
It's plush and premium, very nice.
37
So here's everything inside the garbage bags.
38
As I mentioned, this is going to be the table warmer.
39
It's a plush table warmer,
40
so it has a nice thickness to it.
41
Here's going to be my three large bath sheets,
42
towels and the hand towels all inside this bag.
43
These are my linens, my actual sheets set.
44
So there's a flat sheet fitted sheet and face cradle cover in here.
45
This is going to be a protective layer,
46
which is very nice in the COVID world.
47
You can just wipe this down clean with your cleaning products.
48
And this goes directly underneath the sheets that your client lays on,
49
on top of the other things to protect the table.
50
Also helps with longevity of your tools and products as well as your table.
51
There is a cover for the table in this bag as well as for the face cradle.
52
This is my Earthlight Premium Microfiber Blanket.
53
Very nice, highly recommended.
54
Extra shed of sheets because you never know.
55
I always recommend bringing an extension cord with you.
56
You never know if an outlet is going to be far away from where your client would like you to set up.
57
And then this is a phone charger.
58
charging box happens to have several options there
59
which is always good in case you need to charge your portable speakers as well
60
if you're having a long day never know what the battery life is like on
61
that portable speaker this is a speaker I use it's small
62
but mighty love it a lot this is the percussion instrument
63
that is my go-to choice and it is a hypervolt and hypervolt is definitely used by the pros and for the pros.
64
This is a older model plus but still love it
65
and highly recommended to use for your clients if you are venturing into percussion tools.
66
Inside of this box I have all of the things that could be messy in case there's any accidental spills.
67
I don't want any accidental spills and
68
so inside a little starlight box I will have ziploc bags
69
also separating items the massage oils creams muscle balms any other
70
enhancement products you might use I also keep cups in here
71
because I like to do cupping in my practice also some hand soap you just never know
72
if your client's going to have soap that you like
73
and then a travel clock as well those are important necessary to be able to hold until the time.
74
And that all goes securely inside of that little Sterilite box.
75
And then for cleaning purposes,
76
I have my gloves, the cleaning wipes,
77
a set of paper towels, and there you go.
78
So that's what's inside this large bag.
79
At the end of the treatment,
80
everything goes back inside the container that it came in once they're dirty.
81
And so these will now be soiled and dirty.
82
I'll just fit them right back in that bag to take home.
83
These will get wiped down, dried and clean.
84
These will be dirty.
85
Also ready to take the laundry.
86
Here's the table warmer, packed up nicely.
87
This is the phone charger and extension cord,
88
the portable speaker set, the percussion tool,
89
and then my massage bolster.
90
Again, light down and sanitized and clean.
91
All packed up, ready to go,
92
and there you have it.
93
Here's an example of what the final table setup can look
94
like once you're ready to welcome the client back into the space and begin the consultation.
95
Now let's go back and show you how we got here.
96
I want to quickly walk through a step-by-step guide of setting up the massage table with the items
97
that I bring in the massage mobile kit.
98
Now the first layer you see here is the table warmer.
99
I do use a plush table warmer to add comfort and a luxury feel for the client.
100
The next layer on top of this is going to be two large bath sheet size towels.
101
These towels do add a layer of comfort as well,
102
but more importantly, they are there to protect the massage table and the plush table warmer itself.
103
The next layer is the most important protective layer of the whole setup,
104
and that is the protective layer sheet set.
105
There's a fitted sheet in this set as well as a face cradle cover.
106
This is a washable, waterproof,
107
easy to disinfect in between each client set.
108
Highly recommended.
109
It is so vitally important to make sure that we are cleaning and disinfecting in between each client.
110
The next important layer is the premium sheet set.
111
I use a fitted sheet,
112
a flat sheet, and a face cradle cover.
113
It is important to make sure that you're investing in premium quality sheet sets for your clients.
114
The luxury community does have high expectations and they like to use things that feel good,
115
look clean, and smell nice as well.
116
So make sure that you're invested in that properly.
117
The next layer is going to be one more large bath sheet size towel.
118
This towel is here to add a layer of comfort and warmth for the client.
119
Following that we're going to put the massage blanket right on top of that towel.
120
This blanket is important.
121
It adds a layer of professionalism.
122
The overall ending look of your setup is important.
123
So making sure you have clean lines,
124
a beautiful blanket, and then your product display to finish everything off.
125
And after this, you're ready to welcome your client back into the space and begin the consultation.
126
Let's go back for a quick recap.
127
And we have the table,
128
table warmer, two bath sheets on top of the table warmer for protection and added comfort,
129
a protective layer, then the linens that your client will lay on top of.
130
That's a fitted sheet, followed by a flat sheet,
131
followed by a towel, a bath sheet size towel, followed by your blanket.
132
As promised here's the bonus tip for today's video and
133
that is packing up your massage table and getting that carrying case back on top of it.
134
So in this case I'm going to teach you how to
135
put the bag on the table instead of the table inside of the bag if you know what I mean.
136
Here we go.
137
The first thing you want to do is put the table down,
138
bottom facing up so that the bag can sit on top of this table.
139
Okay make sure the latches are latched.
140
You're gonna hold on your bag and just pull that bag right over the top of the table just like that.
141
Then you're going to zipper those zippers down as far as they'll go.
142
Once you've done that you just roll the table up.
143
using that zipper and voila table in bag ready to go.
144

Why practice speaking with this video?
The video titled "Mobile Massage Supplies For Luxury Clients" presents a unique context for English speaking practice, particularly beneficial for learners aiming to enhance their communication skills in professional settings. By shadowing the speaker, you can grasp not only the vocabulary used in the massage industry but also the tone and professionalism required when interacting with affluent clients. Engaging with this content allows learners to practice essential phrases and improve their fluency, preparing them for real-life situations where they may need to discuss services clearly and effectively. This is an excellent opportunity for English speaking practice in a niche that combines luxury with customer service.
Grammar & Expressions in Context
In the transcript, several grammatical structures and expressions stand out that can be helpful for learners:
- Question forms: The speaker opens with rhetorical questions: "Do you want to succeed in the luxury mobile massage market?" This method invites engagement and is a useful technique when you're seeking to involve your listener.
- Imperative sentences: Phrases like "be sure to check those out" are used to give clear instructions. This structure helps in practicing how to direct or advise someone effectively.
- Present continuous tense: Statements such as "I'm currently using a Earthlight massage table" showcase how to discuss ongoing actions, which is vital for conveying what you are presently involved in.
- Descriptive adjectives: The speaker uses adjectives like "luxury," "affluent," and "premium" to enhance their descriptions. Learning to describe situations with appropriate adjectives can significantly elevate your speaking and writing skills.
Common Pronunciation Traps
As you practice speaking with this video, be mindful of specific pronunciation challenges that could arise:
- Words like "massage" and "affluent" can often trip up learners due to vowel sounds that differ from their native language. Pay attention to the correct pronunciation as you practice.
- Emphasizing the right syllable: The way you stress words such as "luxury" (with emphasis on the first syllable) can alter comprehension in professional conversations.
- Avoiding blending sounds: When saying phrases like "mobile massage," make sure to enunciate clearly, as slurring can lead to misunderstandings.
By utilizing the shadowing technique with this video, you can focus on enhancing your pronunciation and fluency, which is crucial for excelling in tasks such as IELTS speaking practice and engaging effectively in conversations in the luxury service sector.
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
