Hi, welcome or welcome back to my channel.
2
If you're new here, my name is Ayana.
3
I'm a licensed massage therapist, esthetician, and spa owner.
4
And in this video, we're talking about phrases that every single massage therapist should know.
5
I was inspired to create this video because I was thinking,
6
you know, what are the things that I struggled with in my practice over time?
7
And one of the things I struggled with was figuring out what to say,
8
figuring out how not to feel awkward,
9
figuring out how to end the session.
10
Let me know that I'm not the only one who struggled with this,
11
you know, figuring out what would I say to encourage clients to come back to my practice,
12
all that stuff.
13
So I'm going to give you my exact phrasing,
14
my exact scripts of what I say during my session,
15
during my intake, after the session,
16
and also how I set boundaries and what are some of the things that I say to my clients.
17
So let's start with our intake process.
18
So the intake is going to vary based on you know
19
what type of massage you do what their goals for the session are
20
and so many different other factors
21
but I want to tell you kind of just what I say after I've done my intake
22
and I've already discussed what their goals are for the session
23
and all that good stuff one of the things I might do during the intake process is especially
24
if they're a new client is I'm going to set the expectation
25
so I'm going to tell them what they can expect from me and then I'll tell them what I expect from them.
26
Because with new clients, especially people who have never even had a massage session before or a facial before,
27
they don't really know what to expect.
28
So if you don't clearly communicate what they should expect,
29
then you might find your clients will get on top of the table with their clothes fully on
30
because you didn't communicate properly what they should have done when you left the room before starting the session.
31
Something I will say is I'll talk about the pressure.
32
So this is the exact phrasing that I will use.
33
I will say for pressure,
34
I like to start off light.
35
And after I've warmed up the tissues,
36
I'll go a little bit deeper.
37
And then I will check in with you to make sure that the pressure is good.
38
And at that time, feel free to let me know if you need more or less pressure.
39
Other than that, I'm just going to let you get in your zone.
40
I'm not going to disturb you relaxing.
41
So I'll say something along those lines.
42
That's the phrasing I'll use.
43
Even with saying that I'm just letting them know I start off light.
44
I'm not going to like jam my elbow into your back,
45
you know, the first two minutes.
46
Just, you know, be patient with the process.
47
That's essentially what I'm communicating when I say,
48
oh, I start off light and then I add pressure over time.
49
Another thing that I'll say during my intake process is setting the expectation for what happens after I leave the room.
50
So I'll say this exact phrase.
51
I'll say, feel free to disrobe to your comfort level.
52
Most people get down to their underwear,
53
but whatever you're comfortable with is okay with me.
54
When I leave the room after you disrobe to your comfort level,
55
I want you to get underneath the first two set of sheets and I'm going to be starting you facing the ceiling.
56
So you'll be facing the ceiling and you'll be fully covered underneath the two sheets.
57
So that essentially is what I would say in order to let them know what happens after I leave the room,
58
that they can disrobe to their comfort level and that they can get under the two sheets.
59
Yeah, I will be starting them facing the ceiling.
60
I like to say facing the ceiling instead of saying,
61
oh, I'll start use of pine because it's layman's terms.
62
You don't want to confuse people with our medical terminology and all that stuff.
63
So that's essentially what I will say during the intake process.
64
After I've said that, I'll say sound good or I'll ask them if they have any questions for me.
65
And at that time, I can ask them questions that maybe I didn't answer before.
66
So that is what I say during my intake.
67
Let's move on to what to say during the session.
68
So your client is on the table,
69
you start off with some compressions,
70
you start doing the session,
71
and then, you know, about 10 minutes into the session of actually like doing the massage,
72
at this point, I'm going to check in with the pressure.
73
So I'm going to say, how's the pressure?
74
Could it be deeper or lighter?
75
Just like that.
76
That's all I say because I don't want to say,
77
oh, how's the pressure?
78
Because that's too open-ended.
79
Having an open-ended question like that,
80
your client could say something like, oh, it's good.
81
Oh, it could be deeper.
82
But some clients are not comfortable with actually telling you what they want or what they need.
83
That's why I am very specific and I say,
84
oh, could the pressure be deeper or lighter?
85
And that's probably during a session that is more traditional.
86
During something like lymphatic drainage,
87
I will check in with them but less often because the pressure has to be specific.
88
So again, it depends on what type of massage you do.
89
But yeah, so that's how I check in with the pressure.
90
I will say, could it be deeper or lighter?
91
So you want to ask a very specific question.
92
And then of course you'll adjust accordingly.
93
So after I've adjusted the pressure,
94
I will say, how is this?
95
Could it be deeper or lighter?
96
And then they'll tell me what it could be based off of that.
97
I just like to be very specific just
98
so my client can essentially be forced to tell me how much pressure they want or need.
99
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
So
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!

Ngữ pháp & Biểu thức trong bối cảnh

Dưới đây là một số cấu trúc câu quan trọng mà Ayana đã sử dụng trong video:

  • "I like to start off light." – Câu này thể hiện cách đặt kỳ vọng cho khách hàng, nhấn mạnh sự quan trọng trong việc giao tiếp với khách hàng mới.
  • "Feel free to let me know if you need more or less pressure." – Cấu trúc này khuyến khích sự phản hồi từ khách hàng, điều này không chỉ áp dụng trong trị liệu mát xa mà còn trong các cuộc trò chuyện hàng ngày.
  • "I'm not going to disturb you relaxing." – Sự nhấn mạnh này cho thấy bạn cần tôn trọng không gian và sự riêng tư của người khác, một yêu cầu quan trọng trong giao tiếp.

Các cạm bẫy phát âm phổ biến

Khi nghe Ayana, bạn có thể gặp một số từ và cách phát âm khó. Đặc biệt là từ "pressure" có thể phát âm sai nếu không chú ý, hoặc cách luyến láy trong câu nói liên quan đến việc đầu vào và phản hồi của khách hàng. Sự khác biệt trong ngữ điệu cũng có thể khiến người học gặp khó khăn trong việc hiểu và nói theo. Hãy chủ động luyện tập những từ này qua các phần mềm shadowing mà bạn có để cải thiện phát âm của mình.

Thông qua việc áp dụng phương pháp shadowspeak, bạn sẽ học được cách thể hiện ý tưởng rõ ràng, tự tin hơn trong giao tiếp. Hãy tận dụng video này để nâng cao kỹ năng nói của bạn!

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
