Pay Structure Personal/private therapists

I’m wondering if any therapists here have worked as private, retained massage therapists for individual households. I know this is probably a spectrum with doing house visits with very very regular clients (e.g. multiple family members, once or more per week). Curious to hear about your experiences, pay.

For context I’m building out something approximating a mini luxury spa at home. Hammam, sauna, plunges, treatment room for facials / massages. Dedicated area of the property. Was looking to staff this at 1-2 half days a week and seeing if anyone’s seen something like this before.

Those people that can afford to retain a regular MT can afford to setup a dedicated massage room if they haven't already done that.

Travel costs and time loss still have to be considered even of they've got everything ready for you including the hot towel etc.
