Exploring Life & Business with Jaclyn Perkins of Massage by Jaclyn Perkins LMT

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jaclyn Perkins.

Hi Jaclyn, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
Hi my names Jaclyn Perkins licensed massage therapist , graduated from medical massage school in 2012. Shortly after I received my Ohio state medical license to practice massage. Starting my massage career I knew I wanted to focus more on the medical aspect of the practice. Massage is so much more than the occasional couples massage you receive on vacation. Starting my career I wanted to experience all different work fields, from the spas to then the chiropractors and from there university hospitals for holistic health. Working for all these different places inspired me to work independently mixing the best of both worlds. Spa atmosphere with medical massage work being done. Later in my massage career I became certified in Thai massage, Thai massage focuses on stretching and mobility. Learning Thai and continuing my education in my field allows me to help more people in what they need medically and physically. I find my job very rewarding hearing clients tell me I’ve helped them weather it be from chronic pain, anxiety, and just stress from every day life is the reason I still love my job today. Going forward I want to continue learning new modalities and continue helping others!

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Building clientele and getting your name out there is one of the obstacles I had to face when going on my own.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
I am a medically licensed massage therapist. It is a form of integrative medicine. Massage therapy focuses on treating medical conditions and promotes healing. I specialize in deep tissue, and sports massage. I am known for my ability to target the muscles that need worked and helping relieve chronic pain. What sets me apart from other massage therapists is I’m very detailed in my work. My passion for helping others and my drive to succeed sets me apart, I am most proud of being able to make a name for myself in my community and firld, where I believe is becoming more and more respected in the medical community. I want people to look at Massage Therapy as a health and wellness need rather than a luxury. Massage has so many benefits, from relieving chronic pain, helping circulation, anxiety, insomnia and the list goes on. I like to say just like your car needs maintenance so do our bodies, and as a massage therapist I’m here to help 🙂

Do you have any advice for those just starting out?
My advice for people starting out is never give up. The beginning may feel overwhelming and the prize might seem small at first but I promise you, if you work hard and love what you do you will be where you want to be. You will meet so many amazing people along the way. All the people you’ll help is going to be the most rewarding thing you’ll do.
