Rissa was very professional. When I a hard time submitting payment she took her time to explain and not once did she give me an attitude.

I truly appreciate it! Anything I can do to be of help in your self-care journey!!
What do you love most about your job?
I love that I get to make a huge and significant difference - not only in the body - but in people's lives. I pride myself on not being a normal therapist. My work is one of a kind simply because I am an athlete and a professional dancer. I understand the human body better because I have experienced injuries firsthand and have worked on myself.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Starting as an LMT, I began working at spas and saw the treatment of other LMTs. I began noticing things I would and wouldn't allow if I had my own business, but I was scared to start. Even though clientele kept telling me to begin my own business, what really made me dive headfirst was the pandemic. It allowed me to understand that NO ONE was going to hand me anything and even though there was government help, it was VERY limited. I decided then and there that I would never be in a position of being complacent but begin to make a better life and future for myself and my family.
Why should our clients choose you?
Your clients should choose me because I know what I'm doing and I'm one of the best in my line of work and in my business. My goal is to ensure that every person I touch I help them to remember what their bodies felt like before stress entered it.
My reviews of my work can be found on my website, on Google, and on Yelp!
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
The only remote service I offer is as a wellness coach. On top of being a massage therapist, I also help people transform into the best version of themselves. So, weight loss, muscle gain, proper nutrition, sleeping better, eating better, better hair skin and nails, immune health, digestive health,.... you name it you got it!
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
To keep my customers safe from Covid-19, I make sure that I get weekly testing (obviously I'm NEVER going to work if I'm positive). I am also extremely safe when it comes to handwashing and disinfecting.
