    Let me say,  I do contact a client (especially a new one),  with a text after,  thanking them for booking me,  that I enjoyed the time and to please let me know if I can be of service again.    I text one time (only)  after the service.    I think it works,  I've never had complaints,  however I only have one text like that.

    I absolutely think this is totally fine! I always appreciate these texts (and am usually the one initiating them after receiving a great massage!). It's just when these messages are coming multiple times days and weeks after an appointment that I start to get uncomfortable.

    Yes, but the providers who have done that have gotten the no when I've said it. Also, I am very clear. I state that at the time I'm not planning on another session, but maybe in the future, and that I will reach out to him when I'm ready. The provider has been respectful of my wishes, and I have reached out at a later time. Have you been that clear?

    I had one who called me after, but he was interested in becoming my friend. I chatted a little with him, but also stated that there are certain times/days when I am not available for talking. We talked a few times after and the he just faded.

    Today there are ways of dealing with pushy providers if they become pushy, but the most important thing is clarity and being specific about your boundaries.

    I have been that clear! One guy messaged me five times, the first two I replied politely saying that I don't book massages that often but I will definitely be in touch the next time I am looking. The third message I ignored. The fourth I asked if he could stop messaging and that I would be in touch when I'm ready. The fifth I blocked. It felt weirdly aggressive on his end and made me feel incredibly uncomfortable as his messages frequently came with photos and I never knew when I would be receiving them. 

  3. Recently I've had a few massages where the massage went well and then, after a few days, the provider will start regularly following up via text trying to get me to book another appointment, one even called. After saying no a few times and still continuing to get texts, I've ended up blocking numbers from providers who I likely would have ended up making a second appointment with had they not been texting a lot. 

    I guess it's a weird double standard that I expect them to be open to receiving my text whenever I am ready to book for another appointment but get creeped out when they're reaching out to me... but I don't like it! Has this happened to you? Thoughts?
