Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Brittany Bohannon. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Alright, Brittany thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. We love heartwarming stories – do you have a heartwarming story from your career to share?
There are so many heartwarming stories, however, there is one in particular that reminds me of why I am a massage therapist. Before the client’s appointment, she completed an intake form listing some struggles she had been overcoming that had been causing stress on her body. Although I couldn’t relate to the client, I had a friend who had the same struggles but with faith overcame and won the battle. As a massage therapist, I feel it’s my job to provide comfort for all my clients, and that’s exactly what I did with this client. After her massage, she sent a private message to the owner of the company I was working for outlining how I was everything and more that she needed on that day. She made me aware that I connected with her beyond just a massage with the story of my friend’s testimony because it was related to what she was going through in her life at that very moment. In her exact words ” Brittany you spoke to me in such a way that I didn’t know how to thank you in person, but now you finally assured me to let go and let god for the first time. I couldn’t be more thankful for the peace of mind you gave me today. Thank you so much”. I always tell people I am more than a massage therapist, it’s so much deeper than just delivering touch, I am delivering healing in a world that is hurting.
Brittany , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
My name is Brittany Bohannon. I am an Atlanta native. I am a massage therapist and the owner of Atomic Bodywork Mobile Wellness Solutions. I started my massage career in 2013. I purchased a massage for a friend and they allowed me to sit in on the session. I was inquisitive and started asking the therapist questions about massage therapy. The next week I enrolled in school and here I am today.
Atomic Bodywork provides onsite chair massages for the workplace, retirement communities, and events. What I noticed from being a therapist for some time now, is that people don’t practice self-care and they are stressed out from life, their jobs, and aging. For employers it’s a win-win, because it saves them money and improves morale within their company, at retirement communities it improves the elder’s quality of life, and everyone loves a free massage at any type of event.
What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?
The most effective strategy in growing my clientele is having great customer service skills and maintaining healthy relationships with them.
Training and knowledge matter of course, but beyond that what do you think matters most in terms of succeeding in your field?
I believe the most helpful in succeeding in any field is having faith and a positive mental attitude.
