Jill Holloway, massage therapist and chiropractor
East Hampton

Do you get a voyeuristic thrill from going to other people’s houses?
No! Don’t say that. This is a tough clientele.

Are massage parties common?
Yeah. A big celebrity will say, “Call up five massage therapists and have them come to my house, because I’m having twenty guests.”

Ever get a client who thinks you’re going to give him a happy ending?
You can tell on the phone if someone thinks like that. It stops after you’ve been here a year or two.

Is it competitive?
There really is enough work for everyone, especially in the summer. August, you’re pulling your hair out.

Client Mike Heller, lawyer
Southampton

What kind of law do you do?
I run a third-generation law firm called Heller & Heller. We’re in charge of the 1-800-LAWYER-911 number. It’s one of the biggest numbers in the country.

So you must pull in a lot of money. How much did you pay for your Hamptons house?
We got it for a good price a long time ago. It’s my father’s house. We’ve been coming here for twenty years.

How often do you get massages?
Every other week.

Do you ever wonder what the year-rounders think of summer folk?
I know what they think. It’s a love-hate relationship. They love that all this money comes in. They hate that all these people invade their town.
