I have been a massage therapist for 7 years on the 17th. I leave it up to the client if they want to talk or not. Most of my clients are quiet and relaxing the whole time, which is fine. It is a relaxing job for me so i often prefer if they don't talk so I can focus on doing my job and not get distracted. I have a few who do nothing but talk, which is also great after getting to know them and whats going on in their life. It is up to you what is relaxing and what isn't. I also don't lead the conversation or make it about me. If they want to talk or have questions I will answer but usually keep it a bit short, the best thing to do is let it be up to the client. I have also had people say they want a therapist who doesn't talk. No big deal at all, next time you are doing the intake mention that you are very tired and just want to zone out. You are paying for a service and deserve to get what you need out of it :)
