After an indescribable seven years building Squeeze Massage, I’ve made the bittersweet decision to step down as CEO. Since the very beginning of founding this brand, I have had the honor & privilege of working with an incredible team. Together we built an employee experience that attracted over 250 talented massage therapists, and a lovebrand that garnered over 100,000 5-star reviews, an NPS of 82, and 5-stars across Yelp, Google, and Glassdoor. While not without its challenges: we navigated COVID in our first year of business, the impacts of one of the highest inflation periods in the last 50-years, rising interest rates, an ever-changing labor market, and the difficulties of building an emerging, disruptor brand in a saturated space. I want to extend my respect and gratitude to David Werner, Megan Martin, Clinton Kyles, Samantha Miracle-Friel, Jennifer Brock, Stacey Levine, Kathrina Reyes, Brian Boucher, Sarah Graham, Asia Perron, Emma Diaz, Liliana Hernández; our partners at SABRE, Heitler Houstoun Architects, REP'M Group, Sevan Multi-Site Solutions, Webuild, Powers PR, Renaissance Marketing Group, Waypoint Creative, Joshua Becker, Thomas Earnest, my co-founders & investors, and each one of our Operating Partners for their partnership. While I will remain on the Board and forever champion The Feel-Good Revolution, I will miss working with this team on a daily basis. Creating something from scratch is a labor of love. When I look back on my career, that’s been the through-line in everything I’ve done. A love for what I’m doing, who I’m building alongside, and the bigger reason for why to start and to keep going. I’m not sure what’s next, but I will know it when those three things unequivocally resonate. Stay tuned.
