25 Full-Time

Spa Southern Hills' licensed massage therapist role is based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The independent-contractor position includes full-time and part-time options and pays $25 per hour for paid onboarding and training. The therapist provides booked massage services, communicates with front desk and management, and maintains licensure, cleanliness, and safety standards.

The spa operates within the Tulsa Marriott Hotel and has served Tulsa for 25 years. More than 15,000 guests visit each year, and approximately 95 percent of the clientele returns locally. At least one year of professional massage experience is required, along with an active Oklahoma massage therapy license or eligibility to transfer licensure before the first day. The schedule is flexible, with the therapist setting working days, break lengths, and the number of consecutive treatments.

• Role: Licensed Massage Therapist
• Employer: Spa Southern Hills
• Pay: $25 per hour for paid onboarding and training

An applicant has an active Oklahoma massage therapy license or a clear path to transfer licensure before the first day. The application also needs to show at least one year of professional massage experience and the availability to work as an independent contractor. Spa Southern Hills can then assess treatment skills, communication, and alignment with its front-of-house team.

Massage Services At Spa Southern Hills

Swedish and deep tissue massage are examples of the services handled at Spa Southern Hills. Swedish massage uses flowing strokes and adjustable pressure, while deep tissue work uses slower, focused techniques for deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. A therapist must distinguish the intended service and maintain professional boundaries throughout the appointment.

Client communication supports that hands-on work. The therapist needs to understand the booked service, explain pressure changes when needed, and keep the session within the agreed treatment scope. A clear exchange with front desk staff and management supports accurate scheduling and a consistent guest experience.

Flexible Contractor Schedules

The independent-contractor arrangement lets a therapist set working days, break lengths, and the number of consecutive treatments. Full-time and part-time options allow the schedule to reflect availability, experience, and business needs. A 15-minute turnover period separates appointments, giving the treatment room a defined reset window.

Flexible scheduling still depends on reliable attendance and careful pacing. A therapist handling several consecutive treatments needs clean supplies, prepared linens, and enough time to reset the room before the next booking. The role's schedule design gives the contractor control over working patterns while keeping each appointment connected to the spa's operating needs.

Oklahoma Licensure And Safe Practice

An active Oklahoma massage therapy license or eligibility to transfer that license is required before the first day. Licensure gives the employer a clear professional threshold, while the separate contractor agreement defines the working relationship. A candidate's experience record needs to show at least one year of professional massage practice.

Safe practice also depends on routine hygiene. WA Health massage guidance calls for hand washing before and after each massage, fresh towels and coverings between clients, suitable storage for soiled linen, and smooth, clean, impervious massage beds. Those measures give the Tulsa therapist a practical baseline for treatment-room preparation.

Tulsa Guest Relationships

The family-operated Spa Southern Hills has served Tulsa for 25 years and sees more than 15,000 guests each year. Approximately 95 percent of its clientele is local and repeat, so a therapist's conduct can affect relationships that continue beyond one appointment. The spa is located within the Tulsa Marriott Hotel.

Guest operations include client no-show compensation, a minimum 15 percent gratuity on premium packages, and communication between therapists, reception, and management. The Tulsa workplace also includes electric massage tables, accessories, professional supplies, high-quality linens, and a maintained treatment environment. The local Tulsa workplace therefore combines hotel guest service with repeat local clientele.

Contractor Recognition And Support

Spa Southern Hills provides an annual performance-based incentive bonus, spa-service and retail discounts, and a 15 percent friends-and-family discount. A refueling station with nutritious snacks is available on site. These provisions sit alongside the contractor agreement and the paid onboarding and training rate.

The spa also provides a $200 referral bonus when a referred licensed massage therapist begins contracting, followed by another $300 after six months. A $200 sign-on bonus is available at contract hire, and a $300 retention bonus applies at the six-month mark. Those amounts are separate from treatment pay and from the gratuity attached to premium packages.

Independent contracting at Spa Southern Hills combines control over working patterns with defined service and hygiene standards. The role's first-day threshold is clear: Oklahoma licensure or transfer eligibility, professional experience, and the ability to maintain the spa's guest and treatment-room standards.

Qualified contractors join a Tulsa operation with an established local clientele, a front-of-house team, and equipment supplied for massage services. The contractor agreement, schedule preferences, and treatment experience shape the working arrangement from the start.
