Meet Susan Haley: Owner of Calming Hands Massage and Wellness

I found something I am good at and I am going to continue doing it until I am no longer able to provide a high-quality service.  This is the motto I work with each and every day I walk into Calming Hands Massage and Wellness.  The avenue of massage therapy I feel the most enjoyment is when clients contact me expressing they feel better after receiving treatments.  It makes me feel good to know that something I did helped alleviate a pain or issue that may have been getting in the way of everyday life.

How did I choose massage therapy as a profession?  During a trip to visit my mother, we booked an appointment at a local spa.  When I left the spa I told my husband I think this is what I want to do in the next chapter of my life.  It sounds very spontaneous, but I had a previous curiosity with massage. When we returned home I researched the different massage therapy schools and started my journey to obtain my license to practice in North Carolina.

I chose the Body Therapy Institute in Siler City, North Carolina to obtain my degree.  This was a tremendous experience as I learned from the best instructors and I developed some friendships that I continue to stay in touch with today.  Upon graduating from BTI, I obtained a job at a spa that provided me with exactly what I needed.  I was able to interact with many clients and enhance my skills with invaluable feedback from very skilled therapists.  I believe coming out of school and being in an environment where I would be able to practice my skills allowed me to become the confident therapist I am today.  I believe the growth I experienced in the spa built my mindset to explore new techniques that will benefit my clients.  I most likely drive my husband crazy informing him about all the opportunities that are out there, but I believe if you stop trying to grow your skills the clients are the ones who end up missing out.

If you visited our website looking for a massage therapist I hope you will give us an opportunity to provide you with great service.  The team of therapists we have along with our esthetician are professional and good at what they do,  don’t just take my word for it.  Check out Calming Hands Massage & Wellness on google to see what our clients have to say.
