Service Level FAQ
What Do These Levels Mean? I just want a massage.
At Skin to Soul, we realize there is a very short ceiling to a massage therapist’s career at most other bodywork chains and centers in the area and yet a vast difference in skill set, experience level and knowledge. In the past, the only way to advance in your career as a therapist was to leave your place of employment and strike out on your own. We recognize that many therapists may not want the additional stress of running a business and being isolated from a team of others and would rather continue to practice their craft in a supportive environment like Skin to Soul. That’s why, like many salons you may go to, we have created a type of leveling system for our therapists to honor their experience, continued dedication to their education, and give you a chance to take advantage of these differing levels of expertise all under one roof! Each Level is a slightly higher price from the first level.
Why should I pay for this level difference? Why doesn’t Skin to Soul just pay their therapists more?
In all transparency, Skin to Soul was originally created by a massage therapist and structured to run as lean as possible, in order to give all extra to our therapists. Our therapists make more than the majority of other therapists that work for companies or chains, sometimes double or even triple what they might make at another company. We do our best to keep our overhead costs as low as possible so that you may enjoy the lowest prices we can offer, while still giving our staff the pay we feel they deserve.
How do I know what level to choose?
Choosing a level for your session may seem confusing, but it doesn’t have to be! If you are unsure what you might need, you may call our front desk and ask them what the right choice for you might be. You can also book a free 15 or 30 min consultation with our manager, who is a bodyworker herself and receives regular treatment from all of our therapists. Both front desk and management staff speak to Master and Expert Level Therapists on a regular basis to determine what level a new client might need, based upon their specific issues. In this way, we hope to find you the very best fit, with a therapist that you can feel excited to work with, and trust in their expertise. We can also help you just choose a therapist based upon the style of massage you like. Like our unique clients, massage therapists all have a unique style and personality. It is our goal to match you with a therapist (or team of therapists) that you feel comfortable with and get the best results with.
Our therapists are grouped into different levels of expertise and specialty. These levels depend on years of experience, years of working with Skin to Soul and years of training. Each therapist has the opportunity to advance to each level.

Professional Level
This is for all of our basic massage types (Therapeutic, Deep Tissue, Relaxing and Prenatal) as well as energy work like Reiki. You may still work with a therapist at this level that has been a therapist for many years. They may just be new to Skin to Soul. You may also work with a therapist that is new to the field but chosen by Skin to Soul as having the intuitive touch and knowledge of technique they need to work at the higher level we expect of Skin to Soul Therapists.
If you have typical aches and pains (neck and shoulder, low back, mid back upper back, tension related headaches, tension in general, a need to relax or heal), or slightly complex issues such as plantar fasciitis, some migraine issues, persistent and chronic pain, some fibromyalgia cases, some jaw pain, etc. then Professional Level would be great for you.

Professional Level Prices start as low as $89/60min (that’s our member rate!) or $109/60min (regular rate) Don’t forget, all new clients receive a discount off their first session!
Specialized Level
Specialized Level is reserved for therapists that have chosen to advance their knowledge by pursuing education in a certain specialty, like Myofascial Release, Ashiatsu, Thai Massage, etc. It is also for therapists that have worked for Skin to Soul at least 2 years, and have continued their education in their massage skills and are able to handle slightly more complex cases and approach them with additional tools in their belt. Skin to Soul clients are unique and spending 2 years working with the unique and challenging cases we are referred, gains a level of experience and expertise. You would choose a Specialized Level Therapist if the therapist you are currently seeing has advanced to Specialized Level and you would like to stay with them.
If you are a new client, Specialized is for you if you have a bit more complex issues than the typical aches and pains such as plantar fasciitis, some migraine issues, persistent and chronic pain, some fibromyalgia cases, some jaw pain, etc.

Advanced Level
Advanced Level is reserved for therapists that have worked for Skin to Soul at least 3 years, and have chosen to continue to advance their knowledge by pursuing additional education, and are able to handle more complex cases than a Specialized Level therapist could. You would choose an Advanced Level Therapist if the therapist you are currently seeing has advanced to Advanced Level and you would like to stay with them.
If you are a new client, Advanced is for you if you have more complex issues like some surgeries that may have caused complications, jaw and tmj issues, more complex migraine issues and other chronic pain issues that aren’t being resolved by conventional care, a mind and body component to your pain that you would like to explore more or perhaps an additional compliment to your current care.
Advanced Prices start at $109/60min (that’s our member rate!) or $129/60min (regular rate) Don’t forget, all new clients receive a discount off their first session!
Expert Level
Expert Level is reserved for therapists that have worked for Skin to Soul at least 5 years, and have chosen to continue to advance their knowledge by pursuing additional education (upwards of at least 250-500 hours of training and practice) in a certain specialty, like Myofascial Release, Ashiatsu, Thai Massage, etc. It is also for therapists that have continued their education in their massage skills and are comfortable handling some of our most complex cases. A Expert Level Therapist has typically been practicing their art for at least 5-10 years and are very comfortable with all levels of complexity of issues (barring of course any obvious contraindications) You would choose a Expert Level Therapist if the therapist you are currently seeing has advanced to Expert Level and you would like to stay with them.
If you are a new client, Expert is for you if you have more complex issues like multiple surgeries and scars, pelvic floor issues, chronic pain issues that have not been resolved by other methods, an interest in digging a little deeper into the mind body component of your issues, or you have been searching awhile for help and haven’t gotten anywhere.
