Building A Community

BMT’s Commitment to Service

Building A Community…

My parents owned a country store that was on the same property as our house. I always say I literally grew up in a business. My crib was just on the other side of the counter, and I was helped raised by a community of customers. Hickory Market taught me at an early age the importance of treating customers right. When my dad passed away in 2004, I moved back home to help my mom run our store. The community that my dad had spent a life time serving, took care of mom and me more than I could ever have imagined. With Balance, I look to build on those lessons and run a business that both realizes the importance of community and one that would make my dad proud.

Our Commitment to Service
Our YES AND approach to client service is in place to make sure we consistently work to set, meet and exceed your expectations. Our #1 goal is to make your experience perfect each and every time.

Our clients are the heart of our business. Our community is one of the greatest prides of my life. We love creating a business that is able to provide you affordable therapeutic massage. It’s an amazing feeling to know that the hard work we put in has such positive and lasting impact in yours.

Your Feedback Matters
We welcome any comments on your experiences as part of our Balance Community. As we grow, we look to continue to improve. Listening to you is one of the most important things we do. Please feel free to email me your comments, suggestions and feedback (josie@lifeisactive.com) or call the studio directly at 734-660-5919.

We know the benefits massage therapy can have on the human body, and we not only want to educate you on it, we want you to be able to afford using it.

EXPERT THERAPISTS

Chris and I work hard to find a team that will be able to address the needs of our clients. Even as we grow, we listen daily to what our clients need and we search for the talent that can deliver that. We look to hire therapists on the following criteria: 1. Education 2. Passion 3. Massage Philosophy 4. Business Sense

By hiring experts we know that you are going to get a great massage and experience each time you come in.

BUILDING A COMMUNITY

Mike, Danniella, Erin, & I make up our front desk team. Providing excellent client service is not just a priority but it’s our philosophy. We know the client is the heart of our business and we talk about all the time how important it is that we work to ensure sure that your experience with Balance is the best it can be. One of our first goals is to listen to your needs and work to match you up with a therapist/time that is best meets your needs. We also want to know how you enjoyed your experience, and if there is anything we can do better/different for your next visit.
