Stress management? Long

twistedfaerie

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this post - so if not can somebody move it please?

To cut a long story short(ish) I've lurked on here for ages and only recently joined up. The DFW board in particular has been a huge inspiration to me and I am now dealing with my debts thanks mainly to advice and ideas I've picked up here - so thank you to all on here :T

I'm actually a massage therapist and one of the main issues a lot of my clients have is stress caused by various things. Obviously, debt is a major stress and equally obviously things like massage treatments are one of the first things that have to go when paying off debts. I've always felt that some of the people who really need my services are the people who can't afford them and I basically can't afford to treat people for nothing or else I'll have no income

I've been introduced to an insolvency practitioner and I actually know a few people who've used his firm - not always to the stage of having to go down the insolvency route. One thing they've all said is that although it's a commercial company both the owner and his staff are willing and prepared to do a lot of listening and advising to help people avoid getting to the point of needing his services.

What I'm pondering is seeing if there is a possible tie up with maybe offering his clients a couple of free or reduced sessions in exchange for them telling family, colleagues etc about me.

I don't want to come across as offering charity (after all I'm looking for something back) or being some sort of do-gooder and I don't want to be taken for a ride on it either. So can I ask - what do you think? Is it a viable idea and is it a worthwhile idea?

If you've made it to the end of this - thank you!!
