Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
2005
What is your primary product or service?
Therapeutic massage services.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I actually fell into massage by accident. My family would always ask me to rub their shoulders or backs. One year, a cousin who is a massage therapist was visiting from California and she asked if I had ever considered that for a career. Everything fell into place pretty quickly after that.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
At Oasis Massage, it's not the same massage every time for every client. You aren't just an appointment time. We want you to feel a difference from the moment you walk in until you leave. We take the time to find out what your body needs that day. Our therapists continuously study the latest developments and research in our field so that we can offer you the best options for your session.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We currently have one location and a ten-year plan for expansion. Eventually we'll have a full wellness center with massage and spa services, a small gym area for fitness training, yoga, or belly dance, plus regular workshops on nutrition, herbal remedies, and reiki.
Provide detailed directions to your location
from Route 6 (Mid Cape Highway), take Exit 9A towards Dennisport onto Route 134. Take a left at the 3rd light onto Route 28. The office is located within the West Harwich Professional Center, just over the town line on the left.
What type of payments do you accept?
We accept cash, checks, Visa, and Mastercard.
Who owns your company or runs daily operations?
Nicole, our office manager, handles the scheduling and phone calls. The rest of the business is run by the owner, Pallas, who is also a massage therapist.
What are your hours of operation?
Monday through Saturday beginning at 9:30AM. Wednesday and Friday have extended hours, open until 7PM. All sessions by appointment only.
What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
I love hearing about progress we've made from sessions. Clients have told me that they slept through the night when they had been waking up every few hours in pain, or that they made it an entire day without needing a painkiller when they had been taking 1-3 doses a day. It tells me that I did make a difference, even if it's just for one person.
What is your favorite quote or Bible verse?
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
