Have you just completed training in wood therapy and are wondering how much to charge for your first sessions? Between attracting your first clients and setting your rates, there are several parameters to take into account. In this article, we provide concrete advice to help you start your business with confidence and efficiency.
Whether you are in a salon, providing mobile services, or working from home, it is essential to adapt your price to your situation and the area in which you work.
1ïžâŁ Start by practicing on your loved ones
Before taking on your first paying clients:
âą Practice on friends or family to gain confidence in your movements.
âą Discover the rhythm and duration of a session.
âą Gather valuable feedback to adjust your techniques and improve your service.
This will allow you to start calmly and build your first client experiences.
2ïžâŁ Rates depend on several factors
The price of a wood therapy session is not fixed and varies according to:
âą Your experience: a beginner charges less than a confirmed practitioner.
âą Your place of practice: in a salon, mobile, or at home.
âą Local competition: observe the prices charged so as not to under- or over-value your sessions.
âą The time and area worked: some areas require 45 minutes, others up to 1.5 hours.
âą The equipment used: the more complete and high-quality your equipment, the more you can justify a higher rate.
Everything remains relative; it all depends on your situation and the service offered.
3ïžâŁ Promotional offers to start
To attract your first clients:
âą Offer a promotional deal so your clients can test your services easily.
âą This allows you to practice and analyze feedback, to adjust your techniques and rates.
âą The price must remain attractive but credible, so as not to devalue your work.
âą Analyze the competition before launching your promotion in order to strategically position your offer.
4ïžâŁ Work by zone for more efficiency
To obtain real results and satisfy your clients:
âą Prefer a zone-by-zone massage rather than covering everything quickly.
âą Examples of targeted services:
âą Calves, thighs, and buttocks: 1.5 hours
âą Thighs and buttocks: 1 hour
âą Thighs only: 45 min
âą Always guide your client to define the area to be worked on.
âą This method allows you to maximize results and add value to your services.
A targeted and deep massage is always more effective than a superficial full-body massage.
5ïžâŁ Enhance your professional image
Your image significantly influences the perception of your rates:
âą Social media: a clear and aesthetic Instagram profile attracts clients ready to pay for a quality service.
âą Your workspace: comfortable table, varied tools, clean and harmonious place.
âą Premium services: lymphatic drainage combined with wood therapy can justify a higher rate.
6ïžâŁ In summary
Â
âą Practice on your loved ones to gain confidence.
âą Set your rates according to experience, place of practice, time spent, and areas worked.
âą Offer a promotional deal for your first clients and adjust your services based on their feedback.
âą Work zone by zone to maximize results and add value to your sessions.
