November Employee Spotlight: Jaci

What is your role?

I am one of the guest coordinators. We take care of scheduling, check outs, and making sure our studio maintains a positive atmosphere.

how long have you been at massage studio?

I have been with Massage Studio for a little over a year now.

what made you choose massage studio?

I've always enjoyed working for small businesses and I love that we are woman owned and operated! When I met the people that make Massage Studio what it is, I knew I wanted to work in such a positive environment.

how does the massage studio team support you?

Everyone from the therapists to management are incredibly understanding and very open. It's easy to get along with everyone and if I am ever having a bad day, by the time I leave I am ALWAYS feeling better. The people here make it a great place to be on a daily basis. I am always genuinely happy to be here. 

what’s your favorite part of your job?

My favorite aspect of the job is interacting with guests and seeing the difference we can make in their day and their health. It's very rewarding to know that we've all played a part in making someone's day better. I also love seeing our regular guests and making small talk with everyone. 

Describe your favorite massage studio memory.

One of the first that comes to mind is when I accidentally scared the daylights out of one of our therapists and we both laughed so hard we cried. I try my best to announce my presence now. 

what self care techniques have you learned since working at massage studio?

I've learned the importance of having a positive attitude and mindset, which can actually make you a more positive person as well. Being around such lovely people that are supportive when you're sick, having a bad day or anything else that goes on has helped me become more open with myself and others. I have also learned that massage therapy is not just therapy for the body, but for the mind as well and to try to get massages as often as I can!

What do you like to do outside of work?

I like to watch movies (I have a very long "to-watch" list) and spend time with my friends and cat. I especially like seeing live music and absolutely LOVE doing karaoke, as well as writing music. I also enjoy playing tennis and swimming when possible!
