"Give me something I can Say "Yes" to" Avi Davies has been an RMT since 2008 and currently works with Align Massage Therapy in Ottawa, Canada. He has a strong foundation in Thai Massage and integrates this technique into his treatments. Before he became a Registered Massage Therapist, he was only providing Thai Massage and he found it challenging to maintain a steady business. In over 10 years in the profession he has worked in various environments from a spa, to medical, holistic and clinical. These experiences helped him to understand the type of environment he can provide his most effective treatments with clients and leave everything else such as marketing and laundry at the door. Since he doesn’t have to spend time or stress on these extras, he enjoys a shorter work day as a massage therapist which means he can enjoy more time with his wife and son and also prepare for the future.

“I don’t do relaxation very well, I do treatments” - Avi
“We bring in the clients, you get them to come back- Jana Veltheim, owner of Align Massage Therapy “Spending my time doing the treatments is what I enjoy doing” - Avi “I don’t want to spend all my time marketing- that’s an extra full day of the workweek” - Avi “it [marketing] would add a layer of stress for me and I think that would show up in treatment as well” - Avi “What are your strengths, what do you actually want to do with the profession, what are you actually there for?” - Avi “Finding what you actually want out of the profession is the most important first step” - Avi “I know we all try to leave our own worries and stresses at the door but, it helps a lot if they’re just not there at all” - Avi “If we don’t actually build our own retirement plan it won’t exist. Use the time to plan for our own futures we are not in the type of job that anyone will do it for us for better or for worse." - Avi “What are you doing with your extra 8 hours a week?” - Avi “We get out what we put into it” - Avi “Give me something I can say “yes” to” - Avi “Always be confident that you’re right and always be open to being wrong” - Avi |
