St. Pete Employee Spotlight: Alexis
Meet Alexis, one of our amazing Massage Therapists in St. Pete! Alexis’s massage skills with Therapeutic and Deep Tissue massages allow her guests to feel the relaxation and pain relief they so desperately need. We recently asked Alexis a few questions about her experience working at Massage Studio:
How long have you been in the massage industry, and how long specifically with Massage Studio?
I started my massage journey over a year ago and began my career with Massage Studio as soon as I was licensed six months ago!
What inspired you to start a career in massage?
For as long as I can remember, I have always enjoyed working with people and knew I wanted a career helping others. I’m a big believer in healing the body naturally and have always been fascinated with how the human body works. I was inspired to choose massage therapy after learning that it’s more than just a luxury; you can make a real difference in people’s lives mentally, physically, and emotionally.
What are some of your specific day-to-day responsibilities?
Some of my responsibilities are creating a comfortable space for my guests, listening to their needs to provide the most productive sessions, and constantly learning more to continue to become a better therapist.
What are your massage specialty areas?
I really enjoy Therapeutic and Deep Tissue massage. I like helping guests with any pain they’re experiencing and customizing the massage to improve their quality of life. There are so many more modalities I’m excited to learn as I grow as a therapist.
What’s your favorite part of your job?
My favorite part of my job is helping make a difference in people’s lives and seeing real results in the work I provide.
What made you choose Massage Studio?
I chose Massage Studio because it’s a small business and I wanted to begin my career in a place that cares about its employees and guests alike, and ultimately, felt like a family.
How has Massage Studio supported your career goals?
Being a new therapist, Massage Studio has helped me to learn and grow so much in such a short time in the industry.
What do you like to do outside of work?
I love spending time with my boyfriend and our dog — he’s a 10-year-old boxer so we like to keep him active! We love to bring him kayaking, to the beach, and anything outdoors. I’m from up North so I also take any chance I can to go up to the mountains. Other than that, give me a good movie or book, a glass of wine, and a kitchen to cook in and I’m a happy girl!
