Description

Who We Are:
Our clients are the heart and the focus of everything we do. And it shows. Our clients report immediate, lasting relief from stress, pain, and tension. What’s more, they appreciate the personalized care that turns a massage into a wellness partnership, earning clients’ trust and loyalty time and again. 

Owner and LMT Sonya Bennett started the conversation by opening Vitality Bodywork, LLC in 2022 after a major career transition from the commercial construction industry. The pandemic upheaval ended up being both the final straw and the inspiration for Sonya to pave an entirely new path in massage and bodywork. Now in our third year, we are bursting at the seams! Our reputation for providing the best therapeutic massage therapy around is growing quickly, and we regularly receive referrals from our clients and local chiropractors, physical therapists, and other health professionals. We have a beautiful office in downtown Winslow that we share with a physical therapist/pilates practice with lots of visibility.

We are looking to hire the right massage therapist to expand our practice on weekends and evenings. Are you someone who wants to make a lasting difference to people in your community? Do you have some rockstar massage skills and a great, customer service-oriented attitude? Let’s talk!
