    I’m probably not going out too far on the limb in saying that “[I] would like to get more info about your massage services and rates,” while not a question, is still an inquiry. Does it have to be “What are your massage services and rates?”

    For my part, I’m curious how that kind of question could potentially be determined “not serious.” That’s terminology that’s thrown around a lot and I feel like it’s a catch-all expression, more for “I don’t want to be bothered.” Which is a prerogative of course, but I always prefer honesty in communication, even if it’s not what you think I want to hear. If I find out I was “lied” to or indirectly given a shadow truth, that would make me angrier than you saying “Eh. I just don’t care.”

    I think that "what are your massage services?" is too vague from a provider prospective. The professional massage therapist is not likely to go into explaining neuromuscular, deep tissue, and swedish techniques. The client would likely receive a response if they say what exactly they are looking for. The therapist can say yes I provide that or no I do not do that. And if the client is actually looking for more of a sensual or nude experience with mutual touch than they should ask for that. A professional therapist is not likely to just offer that from the get-go (even if they are fine with this type of service). They can imply a "yes" I offer that more discreetly if it is brought up by the client.

    Licensed means he is registered as a business.

    Certified means you have enough hours to be "certified" by state (or national) board as a trained masseur (or whatever).

    Generally, you have to be certified to be licensed.  You do not need to be licensed to be certified.

    Most of the time when people talk about a licensed masseur, they mean a certified, or trained, masseur.

    And the OP is right, discussing "naughty" specifics about interactions with a licensed and/or certified masseur can bring problems to the practitioner. 

     

    This must vary by state because when I was a LMT in 2012 in a certain state I had to go through 400+ hours of training and pass an exam. I then received a license from the state board of health. I was not registered as a business and we had no such category as "certified". You were licensed or not. I should also say we were forbidden from providing residential in calls to our "homes" that were not registered businesses but we could provide out calls. Sorry to sway.

    I'm not seeing the therapist selection in Soothe either; after selecting session type/length and gender, it's making me checkout/pay. Freshly downloaded app on iOS.

    Depends on the city.  I've only ever seen the ability to choose a therapist with pics when in Los Angeles. I use it weekly and I never know who I am getting here on Texas.
