Confessions of a foot reflexologist: Stinky feet can't defeat her
Besides smelly feet, she has also come across those which are calloused, fungus-infected and even covered with blisters or eczema.
She has to reject customers who have severe skin conditions or infections.
"We have to speak tactfully to them and maybe suggest that they opt for an upper body massage instead."
While most are obliging, some refuse to budge.
She says: "In that case, we request to use the gloves.
Since most of her customers are men, they often ask her to use more strength and pressure when she kneads.
"Especially those who wear safety shoes a lot, the skin on their sole is very thick. No matter how hard I press, they can't feel a thing."
And then there are especially ticklish customers. For them, she will slow down and apply more pressure.
Without a basic salary, Ms Kuan's pay is fully dependent on how many customers she serves a month. On average, she brings in $3,000 a month.
