Why would a lady with great reviews change her provider name?  I mean other than moving from an agency to becoming independent.

These things can and do go on for yearrrrrrrrrrrrs , on end without an end in sight ... oh and What she said , yup ...I do mean years ... Sigh.Lianna

You took the words out of my mouth veryyy well said! Xo

The rite of passage...

there are other reasons not so provider friendly:

1) She has a history of no-showing clients which gives her a bad reputation which in turn hurts her business so she needs to start over with a new image so she can do the same thing again and again

2) She has stolen money or other valuables from clients either during sessions or in her personal life if she manipulates them for personal benefit

3) She has an STD which she has passed on to some clients and the word is starting to get around

4) She has a reputation for lying about appointment changes, services, and so on which is hurting her business

5) She manipulates clients for her own personal benefit - when regulars figure this out her business drops so she needs to start over

6) She gets attached to a client then outs him when things go badly so she needs to start over

I know of real examples that fit every one of these situations. I'm sure if I spent some time on this I could think of more . . .

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the outing, stalking, or any of the other problems??
Does TER protect the provider when she changes her name by not connecting it to the other one or is it just a random process
Also, I have seen one more reason for name changes. I know of a very highly rated provider who was removed on TER by TER for whatever reason and she has about six aliases because every time she changes her name they figure it out and remove again.

His actual  question involved Well reviewed providers not anything on your list.You sound super jaded BTW .Sorry , Good luck Lianna
