Today we’d like to introduce you to Lani Hennessey.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Lani. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I moved to the South Bay nineteen years ago to attend massage school at California Healing Arts College and fell in love with massage and beach living. I spent the first five years as a massage therapist working for Chiropractors, Spas & Wellness Centers. After the birth of my oldest son in 2003 I started teaching various modalities of massage at a local college and focused on building my own private practice in Manhattan Beach. As business grew I trained and hired massage therapists selecting the cream of the crop from the massage college. Two years ago, I opened a second office in downtown Hermosa Beach which is now our main office. I have 3 Massage Therapists who are extremely talented and together we have more than 40 years’ experience and are trained in most every modality of massage. Whether a client needs relief from neck or back pain or is looking to improve their posture and athletic ability our team is adept at providing results that suit a variety of needs.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
As a business owner, a mother, and a bit of a perfectionist it has been challenging at times to fit it all in and enjoy the evolution and growth of family & business. As many business owners know taking vacation or saying no to clients that you care for is hard, but having a team of therapists has eased the burden and allowed me to take more time with my family and really enjoy my work even more.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Healing Hands – what should we know?
The level of understanding our team of Massage Therapists has in anatomy and kinesiology is unmatched. A massage at Healing Hands is an education for your body and mind. My therapists include tips about avoiding postural misalignments and offer stretches & strengthening programs that allow the clients to be involved in their own health & wellness in between appointments.
Any shoutouts? Who else deserves credit in this story – who has played a meaningful role?
Everyone in my life from my family to my clients and friends have been amazingly supportive in a variety of ways. From helping me pull off a Grand Opening under serious time constraints, to giving words of encouragement and referring clients to our business, I wouldn’t be where I am today without them, but then, I wouldn’t be who I am either.
