Today we’d like to introduce you to April Gillian.
Hi April, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today.
I was originally drawn to the massage industry because I wanted to help people feel better. I became licensed in 2017 and opened my own business. I quickly learned that many of my clients were seeking pain relief but were not interested in the traditional types of massage offered.
I sought after techniques to help my clients achieve their goal of painless pain relief. I specialize in cupping therapy and positional release techniques to deliver a gentle, yet deeply effective bodywork.
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?
I feel fortunate to say the struggles have been minimal! Building a business can be incredibly challenging but I’ve had wonderful clients who have placed their trust in me to care for them and I am so thankful for their support.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
I am an independent massage therapist. As a solo practitioner, my business is small and cozy. I take the time to really get to know my clients so that I can meet their specific needs.
I specialize in therapeutic corrective bodywork. Very different from the traditional deep tissue methods, my work consists of cupping therapy and positional release techniques.
These sessions are designed to provide painless pain relief – Through gentle, deep tissue techniques that allow the body to release stubborn pain patterns and facilitate healing within.
I aim to create a safe, warm and inviting space for all my clients. My studio is known for its plant vibes! I’ve made it my mission to blend clinical based massage with a relaxing spa environment for the best of both worlds.
My specialty service is called The Tension Tamer.
A favorite of many clients with extra tension built up….especially those who sit at a desk the majority of the day! This is an Upper Body Only Session ~ Neck, Shoulders, Back, Hips & Glutes. Experience a Deeply Effective combination of ~ Therapeutic Cupping, Infrared Light Therapy, Theragun, & Gentle Positional Releases to assist in releasing the most stubborn muscle tissue.
In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
The massage industry is always evolving!
I plan to keep my business small. I love my work and my clients and I want to be able to do this for many years to come, so I prioritize my own self-care and wellness goals.
