We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Timeeka Tardy. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Timeeka below.
Hi Timeeka, thanks for joining us today. What was it like going from idea to execution? Can you share some of the backstory and some of the major steps or milestones?
It all started with a spark of realization during a particularly stressful day at my first massage job. I saw the need for a more flexible approach to wellness, something beyond the confines of a traditional spa setting. That night, the idea of Massages On The Move was born. The next day was a whirlwind of excitement and uncertainty. I remember scribbling notes in a coffee shop, outlining the vision and potential challenges. The first crucial step was researching the logistics of mobile massage services – what permits were needed, how to create a portable spa experience, and the legalities involved.
The following weeks involved countless calls, emails, and late-night research sessions. I had to figure out the practical aspects: finding a reliable team of skilled therapists, setting up a user-friendly booking system, and sourcing high-quality portable equipment. It was a puzzle, and each piece had to fit just right.
The first mobile massage session marked a significant milestone. Nervous but eager, I loaded up my massage table into a car and set out to a client’s home. It was a mix of excitement and apprehension – would they feel comfortable? Would the experience meet their expectations?
As the weeks turned into months, the business grew. I had to learn the art of marketing on the go – from creating a website that reflected our brand to using social media to connect with potential clients. Building a reputation required not just skillful massages but also genuine connections in my area as I worked to open my first spa.
The first year was a rollercoaster of challenges and victories. I navigated the intricacies of entrepreneurship, from managing finances to fine-tuning the services based on client feedback. Every hurdle taught me something new, making the journey as enriching as the destination.
Looking back, it’s incredible to see how Massages On The Move evolved from a simple idea into a thriving venture. The process wasn’t always smooth, but the passion for bringing wellness directly to people’s lives fueled each step. And that’s how the journey from idea to execution unfolded, one massage
at a time, turning a concept into a service that resonated with individuals seeking relaxation on their terms.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
My journey into the wellness industry began with a deep-rooted passion for helping others feel their best. After years of working in healthcare, behavioral health and wellness centers, I noticed a common theme among clients: the desire for relaxation and relief but most of all rejuvenation amidst their busy lives. This realization fueled my desire to create a solution that offered convenience without compromising on quality – thus, Massages On The Move was born.

Any advice for growing your clientele? What’s been most effective for you?
The most effective strategy for growing our clientele has been a combination of personalized marketing efforts and word-of-mouth referrals. Firstly, we prioritize building strong relationships with our existing clients. By providing exceptional service and ensuring that each session exceeds expectations, we cultivate a loyal customer base who are more likely to recommend us to their friends, family, and colleagues.
Secondly, we utilize targeted marketing strategies to reach potential clients who may not be familiar with our services. This includes leveraging social media platforms, such as Instagram and Facebook, to showcase our offerings and engage with our audience. Additionally, we collaborate with local businesses and wellness influencers to expand our reach and attract new clients.
Lastly, we continuously seek feedback from our clients to identify areas for improvement and refine our services accordingly. By listening to their needs and preferences, we’re able to tailor our offerings to better meet their expectations, ultimately fostering client satisfaction and loyalty.
What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
Building our reputation within the market has been a multifaceted effort, grounded in our core values of quality, convenience, and customer satisfaction. First and foremost, the quality of our services has been paramount in establishing trust and credibility within the market.

Consistently delivering exceptional massages tailored to each individual’s needs has earned us glowing reviews and recommendations, which have been instrumental in building our reputation.
Secondly, our commitment to convenience sets us apart from competitors and has contributed significantly to our reputation. By offering mobile massage services that can be enjoyed in the comfort of our clients’ own homes or offices, we eliminate the hassle of traveling to a spa, making relaxation more accessible than ever before. This convenience factor has resonated strongly with our target audience and has helped us stand out in a crowded market.
Additionally, our dedication to customer satisfaction has been key in building long-lasting relationships with our clients.
