Massage Therapist

Green Leaf and Pebble

This location I served as a massage therapist full-time position. It was a very spa-like environment. We had a lot of enhancements and I performed body scrubs, cupping hot stones. Things of that nature this business I would have remained at but unfortunately the owner had some serious personal issues going on and had to abruptly close the shop. It was located on Great neck road in Virginia Beach

Massage Therapist/owner

Astral Massage
10.2018 - 03.2024

Started my own business to enhance customers experience with massage therapy at a realistic price that met the needs of my clients and myself. I ended the business in 2024 March due to having to leave the space I was in because of subleasing. The owners of the office suite had to move and I did not have enough time to gather people to take over the suite. So I began working at Greenleaf and Pebble full-time at that point.

Massage Therapist

Massage Envy

Started out at the lomans plaza location in Virginia Beach as a full-time massage therapist then moved to the hilltop location when that location opened up in 2016 and for almost 4 years, I was the top requested therapist. At that location. I learned a lot of customer service skills and enhanced my skills because of Debbie and Gary schwartzer, who owned the three locations of massage envy in Virginia Beach. I maintained a 75% return rate of new clients.

    Over the past 11 plus years I have learned and practiced deep tissue massage which Is The primary reason I have returned clients I would say that is my specialty, although I am also equally efficient at relaxation, massage, cupping stretching, trigger point therapy I also formulate a plan while I'm working on my clients to give them aftercare or home care in between their sessions to help enhance their daily lives I have learned to be a very quiet massage therapist I only speak if it is related to the client's care or to enhance their wants and needs during their sessions and for future sessions
