Self Identified Competition
My top 3 competitors are 1.Massage Revelation: a massage studio focused on promoting healing through meaningful touch. 2.Cherry Blossoms Day Spa: "A place where beautiful things happen" a very popular day spa offering massage, facials, waxing, and spa treatments. 3.The Sanctuary: A massage studio focused on providing massage therapy, and integrated bodywork with alternative holistic techniques. I'm a very thorough massage therapist when it comes to approaching a person and their desired needs. I pay close attention to each client's body as I work so that I can apply the correct amount of pressure and provide nurturing, restorative, and corrective work from head to toe. Some of my competitors have reputations of doing too deep of work and in return hurting people. Some of my competitors have also had complaints that their work did not exceed the client's goals or expectations.
