Hello everyone, and thank you for visiting my blog! I’m Akala, the owner of Curative Massage. Every month, I promise to share with you tips to reduce stress and alleviate acute to chronic pain. Although it may seem biased, I believe that massage is one of the best things you can invest in for your body and total well-being.
With Curative Massage, I want my services to make your day easier by alleviating the stress of rushing to your appointment, fighting through traffic, and searching for a parking space. Also, I want to help make massage services more accessible for stay-at-home parents, for individuals who work from home, and for people who just don’t want to leave their homes.
Get To Know Your Massage Therapist
Who am I away from the massage table and outside of the dimmed lights? I am currently pursuing a Bachelor in Business Administration with a focus in HR management. Eventually, I will hire additional massage therapists.
Now before I graduated high school, I knew that the traditional college route wasn't for me. I had many interests that included dance. After my dance classes, I would sometimes give massages to my classmates. It was something I enjoyed doing. So I decided to pursue massage as a career. Dorsey Schools in Saginaw was the massage school closest to me, and I enrolled in the fall of 2015.
Since then, I’ve had a fascination with all things massage. Overtime, I have seen how much massage therapy can help someone, and it makes me love massage even more. It’s amazing to see someone who is experiencing pain have their discomfort reduced or completely healed.
I’ve been a massage therapist for the last four and a half years, and I have enjoyed learning about the body. I did my first in-home massage three years ago at the request of a client so she could still have me as her therapist after I had moved from Saginaw to East Lansing. My in-home therapy appointments with this client led me to the idea to start and focus my business on in-home services two years ago.
When I’m not working or studying, I'm watching movies and spending time with my high school sweetheart. We’re originally from Saginaw, and now reside in Farmington Hills. Hopefully soon, we’ll add a dog to our family! I absolutely love dogs, and I love seeing my clients’ dogs.
Some of my favorite things are food, wine, movies, and driving. My absolute favorite show is Bones (it’s on Hulu). I have watched it about three times through, and it is definitely my comfort show.
Now that you know a little more about me, feel free to book an appointment anytime online or follow me on Instagram or Facebook for any special announcements.
