Meet Damien Jones | Massage Therapist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Damien Jones and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Damien, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
Honestly, I can’t pinpoint just important factor to my success. There several in which I deem very important. One key factor is my tenacity. I was and am so determined to make it I won’t let anything or anyone hold me back.

My grind is another key factor. I have worked relentlessly to build my brand and my clientele. I went from not having any bookings for weeks to now being booked out weeks.

Lastly I will say my dedication to perfecting my craft and becoming one of the best Massage Therapist I can be. I say this not just for myself but for my clients as well.
I am constantly studying and training in efforts to educate myself and further my knowledge. The more I know the better I can assist my clients.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Revive Therapy & Wellness is a holistic wellness company. Unlike a lot of massage business we focus on the whole person not just from a muscular standpoint.

As a massage therapist I am trained in many different modalities. I specialize in Post Op Massage, Body Contouring, and Sports Massage. The work that I provide you can not get from a larger chain. The extensive training that I have undergone is what gives me the greatest advantage over the “competition”.

The road that I took to get here was full of challenges and roadblocks. I am a black male in a female dominated industry. The odds are not in my favor. However, I never let this deter me and it only motivates me to work harder.

The biggest challenge I would say however was building a hands on business in the midst of Covid. I was at my peak when Covid hit. I was busier than I’ve ever been and then boom the world shut down. I couldn’t work for 3 months and it was a ghost town when we opened back up.

This process has taught me a lot. The biggest lesson I learned was to trust GOD with my all. After 4 years of practice and 15 years on my job I took the leap of faith. I fired my job and now work for myself full time.

Revive will be known as the go to place for Post Op Care, Sports Massage, and people with chronic issues. We are becoming a one stop shop for Post Op Care as we now carry fajas, boards, bbl pillows, swell spots, and more.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would t ge here without Trina who is the owner of Studio K. Trina has supported me since day one. She gave me a place to call home when I barely had any clients. Trina was also pivotal in helping me grow my clientele in the beginning. I can’t thank her enough.
