Do It With Intention | Business & Marketing for Massage and Bodywork Therapists

EP 75: A Few Thoughts on Accepting Tips... Or Not.


Listen Later

In my almost 17+ years in the bodywork industry one of the questions I get most often is, “Should I accept tips or not?”

Many massage and bodywork practitioners have strong opinions on allowing tips in their practice, so on today’s episode I walk through my perspective and experience around the topic and how I've navigated it so I can be truly present with each client.

I’ve learned over the years how to create a safe space for my clients by charging premium prices for premium services. One of the best parts of being a business owner is that you are able to make your own choices for your practice that resonate with you, and you’re able to do it with intention.

This week on the Do It With Intention Podcast:

  • 3 things to consider when you think about whether or not you will accept tips in your practice.

  • How not accepting tips can make your massage and bodywork business feel safer for clients.

  • Why tips can be tricky when you want to earn a consistent and sustainable income.
