Today we’d like to introduce you to DeAndrea Hughes.
Hi DeAndrea, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstories with our readers?
I started my journey as a massage therapist after receiving multiple pregnancy massages. I was so amazed how a person could make another human being feel so much better and I was very interested in learning about it.
After my 3rd child, I pursued my career. While in school, I learned about the many avenues available I could take. My main focus has become to help athletes and people suffering from different types of chronic pain, or those trying to avoid surgery or recover from surgery.
I look at the body holistically meaning accepting the body as one working unit. So all of my sessions with my clients have a therapeutic and holistic experience. I want to figure out what’s causing the pain so that I can limit its probability of returning.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I took time working for various companies after I became licensed. I wanted to learn about the industry. I worked for mobile companies, spas, and as an independent contractor. I wanted as much exposure as I could get.
Once I was ready to start my own journey, Covid-19 happened. So my industry, as with a lot of companies, was shut down. Right when I tried to start my own. Once things opened up, the massage industry was still suffering.
It was almost impossible to start on my own. So I worked for another company to get back on my feet. It was actually a blessing. I gained so much more knowledge and skills during this time. Now I’ve opened my own practice and am slowly but surely gaining clientele and growing as a business.
As you know, we’re big fans of Through Dee’s Hands Massage LLC. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
My main focus has become to help athletes and people suffering from different types of chronic pain, or those trying to avoid or recover from surgery. I look at the body holistically meaning accepting the body as one working unit.
So all of my sessions with my clients have a therapeutic and holistic experience. I want to figure out what’s causing the pain so that I can limit its probability of returning. I offer a lot of modalities. Some of the most common are deep tissue, sports, lymphatic, and Thai.
What sets me apart is I don’t charge separate prices for different modalities. My clients pay for my time. As I mentioned my goal is to get you out of pain for good. So I want to use all of my knowledge and skills to make that happen.
I don’t want my clients to pay more for a specific treatment plan.
What matters most to you? Why?
What matters to me most is my client’s experience when they are with me. In this field, it is imperative for my clients to feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed. I strive to provide that type of atmosphere.
My clients become like a family. We build a rapport with one another and build trust and a safe zone that allows them to receive their ultimate results.
