Why I Opened Recovery Studio: My Journey in Massage Therapy

Massage therapy has always been more than just a career for me—it’s a passion, a calling, and a way to help people feel their best. But the journey to opening Recovery Studio wasn’t a straight path. It was filled with challenges, setbacks, and ultimately, a new beginning that I’m excited to share with you.

How It All Began

Like many therapists, I started out with a deep interest in healing and wellness. As an experienced personal trainer and athlete, I saw firsthand how stress, injuries, and everyday life take a toll on the body, and I knew I wanted to make a difference. Massage therapy became my way of helping people not just relax, but truly recover—whether from pain, tension, or the demands of daily life.

The First Business & A Major Setback

In my journey as a massage therapist, I took a big step forward by opening a studio with a friend. We operated inside a gym, eager to grow our business and serve more clients. But as life often reminds us, not everything goes as planned.

Unexpected challenges with the space and business dynamics forced us to close our doors. It was a tough moment—one that made me question everything. Had I failed? Was this the end of my massage career?

But looking back, I now realise that setbacks aren’t always the end of the road, they can be a redirection.

Rebuilding from the Ground Up

After closing the business, I didn’t stop. I transitioned to mobile massage therapy, bringing treatments directly to clients. While I loved the flexibility and the ability to still provide care, I knew I wanted more.

I wanted a space of my own. A place where clients could step away from their busy lives and fully immerse themselves in relaxation and healing. A studio designed with care, intention, and expertise—one that reflected everything I had learned over the years.

That’s how Recovery Studio was born.

What Recovery Studio Stands For

Recovery Studio is more than just a massage business—it’s a place where healing meets comfort. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or just need a moment to breathe, my goal is to provide a space where you can truly unwind and heal.

I specialise in:
✔️ Remedial & Deep Tissue Massage – For pain relief and muscle recovery
✔️ Relaxation Massage – To reduce stress and promote overall well-being
✔️ Sports Massage – Helping athletes improve performance and prevent injuries
✔️ Trigger Point Therapy – Targeting muscle knots and tension areas

Every client who walks through my doors is treated with personalised care.

Looking Forward

Opening Recovery Studio is more than just a business milestone—it’s a reminder that new beginnings are possible. If you’ve ever had to start over, you know how challenging it can be. But you also know that when you build something from the heart, it’s always worth it.

I’m incredibly excited to bring this vision to life and welcome clients into this new space. If you’re in Prospect and looking for a place to relax, recover, and feel your best, I’d love to see you at Recovery Studio.
