Today we’d like to introduce you to Julian Lindsay
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I always had an affinity for how the body works, not just looks. Sure, on the surface we all want to be fit and look good in our clothes walking down the street and why not? Not giving any credence to societal constructs when it comes to what it means to be sexy or physically fit/attractive but what does it mean for you? Majority of my upbringing I’ve participated in active sports and worked out in various forms. Moreso than the physical, my mental and emotional state grew, and it parlayed into me wanting to carry out a holistic healthier lifestyle. Witnessing sickness and death in regard to health on both sides of my family, was also an encourager to be more mindful of my body and how it works. It wasn’t until after experiencing a detrimental injury (rupturing Achilles Tendon) that I found myself engrossed in kinesiology, physiology and nutrition. Following that sudden mishap, that’s when I dove into Fitness Training and later became a Massage Therapist.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Starting any business at first is not the easiest I believe. Lucky me, I chose to do so during the pandemic; a time where the world seemed upside down and in transition. With everything virtually shut down and no direction, I took it as a sign for myself to explore what my ‘next’ will look like. Out of job, quarantined, submitting applications, interviewing for potential leads, over a period of time it became monotonous and discouraging but I kept going. The beauty of being quarantined although troublesome for many, it allowed me to do a heap of self-reflection, and preparation, hence discovering massage therapy. Going through online school, connecting with others, learning business and financial structure were pillars that helped me step into and what I’m carrying out today. To those reading this and wanting to start a business of their own, the two best nuggets I can give you is “passion” and “patience”. If you’re beginning an endeavor on the basis of monetary means, just stop. The money will follow as long as you know your ‘why’ for what you’re doing, and it serves a real purpose. Be patient! success doesn’t come overnight and I’m still exercising that today!
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about EscapeTO Massage?
EscapeTO Massage is a mobile massage service that offers personalized, holistic bodywork in Swedish, Deep Tissue, and Sports Massage to professionals and everyday people who prioritize their health and well-being. Placing specific focus on providing each client with an unforgettable, customizable experience to help separate themselves from stresses of everyday life to high-quality pampering, self-care, and pain management.
Beginning EscapeTO Massage back in 2021, I sought to extend another means of assisting clients with their physical health. Having already a fitness trainer background, I was able to apply my knowledge of body mechanics, combining it with manual therapy, resulting in greater customer satisfaction. The goal after each session is not just to “fix” the client but to leave each individual satisfied, knowledgeable of one’s body and to make necessary lifestyle adjustments. There are many massage services that treat people as dollar signs and do not place emphasis on what the client needs and educating them on what they need to know. Every client encountered is unique and should be treated as so, especially when administering manual therapy in such a sensitive setting. My elation comes from the simple ‘act of service. From customer feedback on their experience to partnering with multiple organizations/businesses throughout LA County; it’s about making the lives others a little better.

What were you like growing up?
I was the kid looking for and enjoying a good laugh; jovial and adventurous at best, living up to the meaning of my first name “youthful.” Life and the people in it fascinated me and many instances I sought opportunities to observe, listen, and converse with people and places of interest. Whether it was going to a favorite theme park or impatiently waiting for school to let out, so I hang with friends, I found ways to have fun. As for my introverted side, I absolutely loved watching and escaping to the movies, free hand drawing and daydreaming listening to my favorite tunes.
