Hello, and welcome. I’m Jessica, and I look after the forum here at The Massage London.
This is a place for massage therapists, bodyworkers, students and anyone working in the massage industry in and around London. It’s for the questions training courses don’t cover: what to charge, where to find a good treatment room, which insurance covers mobile work, how to handle a difficult client, and which CPD courses are actually worth the money.
To get started, reply to this thread and tell us a little about yourself:
- what treatments you offer
- where in London you work (clinic, home studio, mobile, spa)
- how long you’ve been practising, or where you’re training
- one thing you’d like to learn from other members
A few things to know:
- It’s free to join and take part.
- It’s strictly professional and non-sexual. Please read the community guidelines.
- Your first post is checked by a moderator before it appears. That’s normal, and it keeps spam out.
- Jobs, room rentals and adverts go in the Jobs and room rentals section.
If you have ideas for the forum, post them in Site news and feedback. I read everything.
Looking forward to meeting you.
Jessica

Hello Everyone ! It's nice to be here. My name is Philip. I am a mobile massage therapist based in Tottenham, and I cover Tottenham, Stratford & North East London. My business name is Carib Massage Therapy.
I have been qualified since 2022, from the London School of Massage, and completed a CPD in Deep Tissue. I also work part-time at a massage centre in West London.
I look forward to hearing the real issues of massage therapists in London on this forum, as most of my social media feeds are from American therapists. I have found it difficult to relate to these LMT's and RMT's and few on my feed are mobile therapists.
Thanks again for letting me join this group, and I look forward to helping out whenever I can.

I'm a massage therapist working at one of the larger spas in central London. I've been in the industry for a while now and really enjoy the work, although as I'm sure many of you know, spa life can be pretty demanding! I mainly work with Swedish, deep tissue and relaxing massage treatments. Lately I've been thinking about going part-time self-employed alongside my spa job, so I'm trying to get my head around room rentals, pricing and finding my own clients.
It would be lovely to connect with other therapists in London, especially anyone who's made the move from spa employment to working independently. I'm also always interested in learning new techniques and hearing which CPD courses people have found worthwhile.

Hi.
I'm a qualified massage therapist based in North West London, currently working for myself after spending some time working in a massage clinic.
Going self-employed has been quite a change, especially having to manage everything yourself, from bookings and finding clients to all the little business expenses you don't really think about when you're employed.
There are definitely things I miss about working in a clinic, particularly having other therapists around to exchange ideas with, which is partly why I thought I'd join this forum.
Happy to share what I've learnt along the way and hopefully pick up a few tips from others too
