Exploring Life & Business with Charhonda Crawford of Purely Kneaded Bodywork

Today we’d like to introduce you to Charhonda Crawford.

Hi Charhonda, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Massage therapy was not in my playbook at all. My first major was early childhood education because my dream is to open a preschool for 3 and 4 years olds. So, I decided to find a career that would allow me to fund myself and other business owners too.

Upon starting school, I quickly realized that this was something God intended for my life. It allowed me to learn so much about myself and the world around me. I began to see massage therapy as my gift and that I am a natural healer.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely has not been a smooth road. I had my first child at the age of 19 and that in itself is an obstacle which is why I decided to work for myself. The flexibility of being with my children and the purpose of building a legacy.

In business, there are always learning curves. Things are always changing and trends are always being presented to the market. This is my biggest obstacle. Staying current and authentic when I am one of the first business owners in my family to make 5 figures.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Purely Kneaded Bodywork is a massage therapy business that is quickly evolving into a holistic spa. We specialize in pain management, stress relief, and injury recovery.

We have recently added yoga, meditation, and lifestyle coaching to our service list. We stand out from our competitors because we are not traditional massage therapists. Every therapist is a licensed clinical massage therapist. We are all certified in neuromuscular therapy. This just means that we use our broad knowledge of anatomy, physiology, exercise science to relax the body and to benefit your health.

We provide in-office sessions and in-home sessions which is a major benefit to both the client and therapist. Our products complement the lifestyle you want to live. Each product is of quality and is proven to promote healing.

Have you learned any interesting or important lessons due to the Covid-19 Crisis?
I’ve learned so much from this crisis. As a healthcare professional, I’ve come to learn that it is my job to educate my clients on anatomy and ways to heal their bodies. Massage therapy is more than just a relaxing time it is a medical necessity that is very important to the healing process.
