Specific technique experience is not required across the board. We value a strong foundation, willingness to learn, and the ability to develop your skills. Additional training and mentorship will be provided, including assessment techniques and client rebooking/client-care processes.

Why Join Aliviar?

This isn't a high-volume spa environment where therapists are expected to simply move from one appointment to the next. Aliviar is a small, intimate practice built around quality treatment, client relationships, and continued growth.

We want to create an environment where the therapist is valued not only for the services they provide, but also for their knowledge, individuality, and potential. Compensation and mentorship are important priorities as we build the team, and there is potential for additional hours as the practice continues to grow.

If you're an experienced bodyworker who takes pride in your work, enjoys helping people feel and move better, and wants to continue developing your craft alongside a growing NYC practice, we'd love to hear from you.
