Today we’d like to introduce you to LaKisha Gaines.
Hi LaKisha, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
How did this journey start for me as a licensed massage therapist? I moved to Georgia in 2002 after I graduated from Southern University in Baton Rouge. Locating a job in my field of Recreation Therapy was not an easy task, so my roommate at the time spoke with me about becoming a massage therapist. Twenty-two years later, here I am. Today, I have an office space in Roswell, GA, providing a variety of massage modalities…
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
In a perfect world, yes. I most definitely have struggles along this journey. Establishing a client base, navigating the business such as marketing and finances, and overcoming ways to grow as a massage therapist.
Thanks – so, what else should our readers know about Executive Massage ATL, LLC?
Executive Massage ATL, LLC provides various types of massages such as Swedish, deep tissue, sports, and cupping massage, stretch therapy, neuromuscular therapy, and cryotherapy. Spa services are also offered. Most of the request that I receive from my clients is sports massage, cupping, and stretching. Let’s not forget that great add-on to a service, such as hot towels, sauna blankets, neck and scalp massages, or reflexology.
What sets me apart from others? My experience as a pilates and spin instructor show a comprehensive understanding of body mechanics and fitness, which is beneficial as a massage therapist. I take the time to listen and hear my client’s concerns before they get onto my table. I tailor each massage to their specific needs and consider the client’s overall well-being and not just the physical aspect. Staying updated with the latest techniques and wellness trends also sets me apart as well.
I am most proud of building a brand that is recognized for high-quality standards and providing quality service. We encourage individuals to always do self-care, and we encapsulate a comprehensive approach to health and wellness.
We offer diverse range of services with a personalized approach to each client’s needs. My brand is not just about providing massage; it’s about contributing to the overall health and wellness of my clients with insight from my fitness background as a Pilates and spin instructor.
What has been the most important lesson you’ve learned along your journey?
My most important lesson I have learned throughout this journey is not to quit and keep pushing.
