Job description

Description: We built our compensation and environment around what therapists actually care about:

• You earn well. Our service bonus structure is designed so you earn significantly above industry average per booked massage hour. Add-on commissions and a monthly reliability bonus put more in your pocket when you show up and do great work.
• Your tips are yours. 100% of massage tips go directly to the therapist who performed the service.
• Your body matters. We schedule buffer time between sessions so you can reset, hydrate, and take care of yourself. Burnout is not a business model.
• Your space is beautiful. Private treatment rooms, hot tubs, a cedar sauna, and the smell of eucalyptus. This is a place you’ll actually enjoy coming to work.
• Your voice matters. We’re a small team. If something isn’t working, you tell us and we fix it. No corporate hierarchy, no red tape.

What You’ll Do

• Perform therapeutic massage sessions (Swedish, deep tissue, and combination techniques) in 60-, 75-, and 90-minute formats.
• Incorporate aromatherapy into every session (it’s standard at Almonte — included, not an add-on).
• Offer CBD and Hot Stone enhancements when appropriate for the client’s needs.
• Maintain SOAP notes and client progress records in Booker.
• Communicate with front desk about client preferences, session outcomes, and scheduling needs.
• Keep your treatment room clean, stocked, and ready for the next guest.
• Participate in ongoing training and team check-ins.

Who You Are

• Licensed. You hold a current California Massage Therapy Council (CAMTC) certification. This is non-negotiable.
• Reliable. You show up on time. You don’t call out unless it’s a real emergency. Your clients and your team can count on you.
• Skilled. You have a solid foundation in Swedish and deep tissue technique. Experience with hot stone, prenatal, or sports massage is a bonus.
• Professional. You communicate clearly, maintain appropriate boundaries, and treat every guest with warmth and respect.
• Team-oriented. You’re not just here to do your sessions and disappear. You care about the spa running well and you pitch in when it matters.

What You’ll Earn

• Average per session earnings of $85-90/hr.
• Base hourly pay at or above California minimum wage for all hours worked.
• Service bonus that brings your effective per-session rate well above the local average for each booked massage hour.
• 20% commission on add-ons (CBD and Hot Stone enhancements) — because your recommendations drive revenue.
• $250/month reliability bonus for therapists with consistent attendance. Show up, get paid more. Simple.
• Tips averaging: $35 – $40/hr session.
