Tampa Employee Spotlight: Jeannine R.
Meet Jeannine, one our incredible Guest Coordinators in Tampa. This month, we are highlighting Jeannine’s incredible work ethic, and commitment to the Massage Studio Team. We recently asked Jeannine a few questions about her Massage Studio experience, and why she loves working here:
What inspired you to start a career in massage?
I’ve always been inspired by service industry/customer service work and I’ve been especially eager to work with Massage Studio because I love the way they impact our local community, and how the services we offer provide peace and relaxation to our guests.
What are some of your specific day-to-day responsibilities?
I help provide reassurance and minor troubleshooting support for guests with simple requests to stressful issues - i.e. reserving appointments to helping with account issues. I love to be a calming/reassuring voice, whether on the phone, or in person to provide our guests with the friendliest service possible. I am passionate about helping relieve the stress a guest might be experiencing
What’s your favorite part of your job?
I firmly believe that massage therapy is one of the most beneficial forms of “self-care”, and I believe that it can help promote longevity of life, improve blood circulation, and even elevate serotonin levels to help fight feelings of sadness and anxiety. I love working for a business that strives to make people feel happier!
What made you choose Massage Studio?
I felt welcomed instantly, and have felt part of such a wonderful, nurturing team of brilliant managers/fellow staff from the beginning - even through my interview process I knew I was right at home.
How has Massage Studio supported your career goals?
I have always led an active/creative lifestyle and consider myself a free thinker, and artist. I love that I am encouraged to be myself and supported as an individual/employee by my supervisors. It makes me challenge myself to be better. I constantly strive to improve my work ethic on a daily basis.
What do you like to do outside of work?
Dance is my passion. I also LOVE spending my days at the beach. I currently reside in my dream living situation with the love of my life, Josh, and our little scruffy-pup, Charlotte.
If you could only take one item to a deserted island, what would it be?
I’d have to say an unlimited supply of paper so I could write! (I’d figure out how to make a writing utensil for sure.)
If you could only choose one massage style for the rest of your life, what would it be?
100%—deep tissue.
What does a perfect day off look like to you?
Hit the gym in the morning. Drink a yummy smoothie. Spend the day at the beach with my pup and my boyfriend. Finish the day with a healthy dinner and a great movie at home.
What have you learned from working at Massage Studio?
I’ve learned so much about patience, and understanding to accept the many facets of personalities I’ve encountered in this job. I have found that I love people, no matter their age, color, or creed.
