How Can I Change It

I can understand shy...  I was painfully shy, believe it or not, in high school.   I understand women having bad experiences with men and not trusting men again. I can understand women worrying about having their bodies judged.  I can understand men being jealous or freaking out over the thought of their ladies being touched by another man, no matter if that touch is therapeutic and totally non sexual. I can understand anyone fearing the unknown or fearing being undressed with someone they barely know.  I can understand people feeling vulnerable on a massage table.  I can somewhat understand people who are homophobic and worry about being touched by another man. I admit to being a bit apprehensive the first time another man massaged me.

Someone please tell me how I can get around all that to get to help people with my massage skills.  My regular clients are so comfortable with me they sometimes even doze off during their massage.  They count on me to fix their aches and pains and help them relax. They trust me. Their trust is the most precious gift any of them ever bestow upon me.  I want more and more people to trust me enough  to let me help them.
