WHAT WE OFFER

• - MASSAGE THERAPIST OWNED: This practice is completely owned and managed by a fellow massage therapist. No more slaving away for a corporate or absentee owner who doesn’t understand the demands of our profession. We will never ask you to do anything we haven’t already done.
• - TRAINING & MENTORSHIP: Learn how to assess and treat common pain issues and provide consistent results. This is not a “rub where it hurts” approach. Clients will naturally want to work with you!
• - ELECTRIC LIFT MASSAGE TABLES: Take care of your body with electric tables that assist you in maintaining proper body mechanics, regardless of your client’s body type or the previous therapist’s table height.
• - EMPLOYEE DISCOUNT: Self care is extremely important for therapists to maintain their own performance and well-being. Regular bodywork is yet another way we look out for your longevity and help keep your body happy and healthy.
• - MODERN TREATMENT ROOMS: Our treatment rooms are newly remodeled and include independent thermostats and overhead dimmers. Set your room at the perfect temperature and adjust mid-session if necessary.
• - GENEROUS TIME BETWEEN MASSAGES: This is not a “massage mill”. We’re in this for the long- haul and want you to stay healthy and focused! This includes having ample time between clients to take care of yourself.
• - EMPLOYEE STATUS: Save money at tax time! Contract positions place the tax burden solely on the therapist, leaving you with less money over time. Enjoy the benefit of being an actual employee and letting us pay a portion of your taxes.
• - BONUSES & REIMBURSEMENTS: Compensation is more than just a single number. Receive periodic bonuses and reimbursements for professional expenses like continuing education, liability insurance, and licensing fees.
• - RETIREMENT PLAN: If you haven’t noticed yet, we play the long game! Enjoy the peace of mind knowing that you receive additional contributions to a company-funded retirement account.

We currently have part-time or full-time availability.

Pay range starts at $42+ per massage hour (after training) + tips (W2), based on your experience and performance.
