Story Behind
the business
Meet Kay
I'm a Licensed Massage Therapist, and my journey in this field began back in 2012. Unlike many, my story of becoming a Massage Therapist lacks the typical heartwarming narrative. It all started when I was approaching the end of high school in 2012, and I was resolute about avoiding the traditional four-year college route.
At that time, my sister-in-law was a certified Massage Therapist, and she consistently shared her experiences and insights from her career with me. Intrigued by her stories, I presented the idea of becoming a Massage Therapist and the various schools I had researched to my mother.
However, just before I embarked on this journey, my aunt attempted to dissuade my mother, asserting that Massage Therapy was a 'waste of time and money.' She insisted that I should opt for a conventional college education, which she believed offered a more secure and long-lasting career path. Thankfully, my mother believed in me and my newfound interest. I enrolled at Fortis Institute (now Fortis College) in Wayne, NJ. Interestingly, this educational journey eventually led me to William Paterson University, also in Wayne, NJ, where I completed a degree in Kinesiology with a concentration in Exercise Science in 2021.
Fast forward, my career took shape in various franchised spa locations across Northern New Jersey. This journey allowed me to grow both as a person and as a Massage Therapist. I had the opportunity to explore different roles within the business, from Front Desk Receptionist to Shift Leader, Assistant Manager, General Manager, and finally, Regional Massage Therapist Trainer for 16 locations. This diverse experience convinced me that I had the potential to become a successful business owner.
n 2017, the birth of Touch of Soi (pronounced S-OY) LLC became a reality. My inspiration was to establish a business with the primary purpose of providing people with an escape. I realized the need to offer elements that could create a healthy escape, tailored to each individual's unique journey. I firmly believed that everyone deserved the opportunity to consistently practice self-love. To achieve this, I designed products with a modern, luxurious aesthetic, making them user-friendly and simple to incorporate into one's lifestyle.
In late 2018, I expanded Touch of Soi to include Massage Therapy, and over time, I introduced various professional services that have garnered popularity among clients, who often recommend them to their friends and family. Some of my most sought-after services include The Snatch Package, Premium 80-Minute Massage, Scalp Therapy 2.0, and Full Body Stretch Therapy. I am eagerly looking forward to the opportunity to serve you and introduce you to my self-care products."
