I go to a massage therapist every couple of months. Man!! What a delightful hour. I don't think I'd want a friend doing it though...same way I won't go to a friend who is a doctor or attorney...I might ask advice or discuss stuff but won't hire them. Been there done that, too much potential drama.
i hear you on dat...doh mix friend and business
BUT
with friends in certain profession there is this thing call discount and free advice which i'll gladly accept with a smile.
i go for a massage once per month...my other gift to me.
