Today we’d like to introduce you to Racquel Theis.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
As a child my mom put me to bed every night with massages. My love for relaxation and bodywork began as a small child who was able to experience the profound benefits of massage therapy. In 2018 I decided to pursue my massage career after going through my own personal physical struggles. Since then I have fine tuned my craft and skills to best help my clients. I have recently started to travel the country with my mentor helping teach other massage students how to best help their clients.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Opening my business in 2020 was the best decision. It’s been nothing but full schedules and new clients on a regular basis.
As you know, we’re big fans of Austin Metro mobile massage. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Austin Metro mobile massage specializes in relaxation and the relief of chronic pain for women in all stages of life. I am able to create significant shifts by using SMRT (spontaneous muscle release technique, this is also the technique that I help teach when I travel the country with my mentor Dawn Lewis) I choose to work with women because as women we are often taking care of others and we need to be reminded that we can not continue to continuously give without first filling our own needs. You have to fill your own cup first and only give the overflow to others, not constantly empty your own cup and have nothing to give yourself. Massage helps women not only relive physical aches and pains but helps relax the mind and nervous system, 2 systems that’s are just as important as your muscles.
I’d like readers to know that while I will not use deep pressure, I do not need to hurt or cause any physical pain during your session to create huge impactful changes in your body. this often surprises each new client. I’m often told that my massages are different from your average therapist. Sometimes my clients giggle at me when I begin their sessions because I’ll start in random places like their arm or their legs and it’s not what usual therapist do. But what I do is begin with their main problem area and then work my way out from there. Each of my sessions is extremely detailed in the work that I’m doing. I’m often told nobody’s ever touched that in that way when I’m working with specific muscles doing specific releases.. the releases that I use work with the Proprioceptors within the muscles, this makes each move seem like a restart button for that specific muscle that I’m targeting, turning on the parasympathetic nervous system truly allowing the body to relax on a deeper level.
We all have a different way of looking at and defining success. How do you define success?
Success is waking up every day and truly enjoying what you do and who you work with. I believe it is shown seen and felt in the quality of my work.
