June Employee Spotlight: Alexandra
What is your role?
I’m a Licensed Massage Therapist.
What made you choose Massage Studio?
At first I joined Massage Studio because they reached out to me after I graduated from massage school. I was floundering and desperately looking for a place to settle into as my first massage job, and career support from my school put me in contact with Massage Studio. I rejoined because I just missed this place too much! The environment and staff are inviting and friendly, and we all help each other however we can.
How does the Massage Studio team support you?
They support me by checking in and asking how I’ve been. Sometimes l just need someone to talk to! If I have a question, my fellow Licensed Massage Therapists are happy to answer it for me, and my manager always makes sure I’m prepared for the day.
What’s your favorite part of your job?
It’s a little basic but I love helping people! Having a guest come back and talk about how much better they’ve felt, or how much easier certain tasks have become is such an empowering and motivating feeling.
Describe your favorite Massage Studio memory.
That’s a tricky one… probably when I came into work feeling very drained and unmotivated, and all of my coworkers tried their best to get me energized and ready for my massages. It was very sweet, and made me want to try my best! My very first client that day kept stressing how excited and relieved they were about getting a massage, and it reminded me that what we’re doing counts, and has a positive and lasting impact on people!
What self-care techniques have you learned since working at Massage Studio?
I’ve been taught many different stretches by my fellow therapists that have seriously come in handy, along with constant reminders to get massages myself (though, none of us are particularly good at that!).
What do you like to do outside of work?
I absolutely love to sleep, I would recommend getting as much sleep as possible to anyone. Other than that, I love to ride my bike, read and hang out at coffee shops. Between naps, of course.
