MASSAGE THERAPISTS

this is the job you want.

Advantages to working with us:
• Pleasant, casual work environment. No pressure. No drama. Awesome co-workers.
• Way, way more support for you as an individual than you'll ever experience working for a big chain or medical office.
• You'll be supported in creating lasting relationships with a wide variety of clients, unlike working at a spa or hotel.
• Any modalities you have to bring to the table will be celebrated and promoted.
• We do all the grunt work. All you have to do is show up and work your magic.
• You get to determine your working hours. Our standard downtime between clients is 30 minutes, unlike the very stressful 10 minutes you get at Massage Envy. And you'll never be "on call."
• We pay commission based on the regular price per session, regardless of whether the client gets a discount. The longer you work for us, the higher your commission.
• Lots of room for your professional growth.

requirements

• Rhode Island LMT license

Ideal workers are skilled, professional, outgoing, and passionate about therapeutic bodywork. We specifically need people experienced and talented at myofascial bodywork and deep tissue massage.

things to know

While we do provide relaxation massage, we also attract clients who are looking for therapeutic help with injuries or chronic issues. Experience in myofascial or structural bodywork is preferred. 

We sometimes do short sessions; some people book frequent short sessions to better resolve their complaints. We need our therapists to be comfortable doing effective short sessions - even just 15 or 20 minutes.

​We do not take tips, for specific reasons that are important to our mission: we promote the idea of bodywork as health care; therefore, it would be inappropriate for us to accept gratuity (just as it would seem strange to tip your chiropractor, acupuncturist, or nurse); plus we promote our work as affordable, and adding a tip to the price might be prohibitive for some of our clients.
