We had a conversation with studio therapist Hannah to discover her reasons for pursuing massage therapy, her choice of treatment for clients with no prior consultation form, and some words of inspiration for fellow therapists striving for success.
Can you share how massage therapy has benefited you and why you chose to pursue it as a career path?
I haven’t been in this career for very long, but it's already the best decision I’ve ever made. I’ve always been interested in the beauty industry, but I was previously too scared to act on it. I did a massage course to check whether I would enjoy it as much as I thought I would, and I love it!
What do you enjoy most about working at Luxe Amore Studio?
I love how welcoming the space is. As soon as I enter, I become calm and relaxed, which was perfect for my interview as it settled my nerves. Megan and Amy have already taught me so much and improved my technique, and I know I can only grow and improve with their friendly and helpful guidance.
If you had to select one treatment to perform on a client without conducting a prior consultation, which treatment would you choose and why?
I would choose The Fix: upper body massage and reflexology. Almost everybody enjoys a back massage, working out the tension held in their shoulders and lower back, providing total relaxation. I feel as though people underestimate reflexology or don’t get their feet done because of being ticklish. Reflexology uses firm pressure to relax the nervous system and relieve tension across the whole body. Most clients drift off, which I always think is the biggest compliment to a therapist because the client is so relaxed that their body and nervous system have allowed them to drift off to sleep.
I had the ultimate massage with Hannah, and wow! I can find it hard to switch off (even during a massage) but I drifted off into pure relaxation in no time. Hannah put me at ease straight away and I felt safe in her hands. I had some tension in body thaf Hannah worked out and I felt amazing afterwards. Thank you so much Hannah
What is it that clients love about Luxe Amore Studio?
I’ve had many conversations with clients about the look, feel, and smell of Luxe Amore Studio. Many clients come through the door and immediately comment on how lovely the place smells or how comfortable and calm the decor makes them feel. I think the warm tones and depth of neutral colours Megan has used really invite clients in.
And lastly, what message do you have for the world and other therapists who aspire to succeed?
If you have a passion for something, take the jump! You’re never too old or too young to change it up, retrain, or expand what you already have. Completely changing my job role and training in something new is the best decision I’ve ever made, and I’m now at the beginning of living my dream life!
