as a massage therapist, I'd ask their training, continuing education, time as massage therapist. What is their specialty? Example - some are infant massage, some - hospice, some - more spa oriented - hot rocks, etc.. I've learned a bit of today's info through continuing education after completing my education, so recently graduated are unlikely candidates for today's info / work. Hope this is helpful - Good Luck!
