Today we’d like to introduce you to Tina McClellan.
Hi Tina, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I’ve always been drawn to healing and wellness, but my journey as a massage therapist truly began from my own need for balance, peace, and connection. I started out working jobs that paid the bills but didn’t fulfill my spirit. Over time, I realized I had a gift for helping people relax, heal, and feel cared for. That led me to pursue massage therapy professionally.
I started small, offering services to friends, family, and through word of mouth. Eventually, I launched Tina’s Touch of Massage, building my business from the ground up with a focus on personalized care, wellness, and creating a peaceful experience for every client. In 2019, I made the decision to fully focus on my massage business and career, committing myself to turn my passion into a profession.
My journey hasn’t been easy — being self-employed means wearing many hats and learning as I go. But through dedication, consistency, and a deep love for what I do, I’ve built something meaningful. Today, I’m proud of how far I’ve come, and I’m still growing, still learning, and still passionate about helping others through my work.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. One of the biggest challenges has been learning how to balance everything as a solo business owner — from managing finances to marketing myself, all while still giving my clients the best care possible. There are times I doubt myself, especially during slow seasons when business isn’t steady.
Building my client base took patience, consistency, and faith, even when things felt uncertain. I began by offering services through Groupon, which helped introduce my work to a broader audience. I was excited to see many of these clients return even after the promotion ended, becoming loyal long-term supporters of my business. Every challenge has taught me resilience, patience, and how to trust the process. I believe the key is to stay positive and optimistic.
We’ve been impressed with Tina s Touch of Massage , but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Tina’s Touch of Massage is a wellness-focused massage therapy practice dedicated to helping people relax, heal, and reconnect with their bodies. I specialize in therapeutic massage with a gentle, nurturing touch, providing services that support not just physical relief but emotional well-being as well. Each session is thoughtfully tailored to create a personalized and restorative experience for every client.
What sets my business apart is the personalized care each client receives. My approach goes beyond routine massage — I create a safe, calming space where people feel truly cared for and heard. My services are designed to meet each person’s individual needs, whether that’s relaxation, pain relief, or simply a moment of peace in a busy world.
I am most proud of the trust and loyalty I’ve built with my clients. Many come to me not just for massage, but because they know they will leave feeling renewed, balanced, and valued. My brand is built on genuine care, consistency, and the healing power of touch. I LOVE WHAT I DO!
I want readers to know that at Tina’s Touch of Massage, it’s not just about the service — it’s about the experience. Wellness is my passion, and I’m honored to help people feel their very best, inside and out.
Are there any apps, books, podcasts, blogs or other resources you think our readers should check out?
YouTube is my go-to resource for guidance and inspiration. I often follow other massage therapists on the platform to learn new techniques, stay updated on trends in the industry, and find fresh ideas to enhance my services. It’s a great way to stay connected, motivated, and always learning.
