A couple of weeks ago, I was invited to a special VIP event to try an “on demand” massage app called Soothe, where you can now book massages from vetted and licensed 5-star massage therapists, here in San Diego! Since it involved checking out the app and getting a relaxing complementary chair massage, I invited my best pal Janice to join me. It was called The Zen Den and was held at The Union Cowork in North Park.
I’ve included some information below about the Soothe app and how it works. Plus, I’ve been given a special introductory code for Any Second Now readers to take $30 off of your first massage that you book on the Soothe app! Either use the code SDIFP when you are prompted on the app, or click the link https://www.soothe.com/invite/sdifp to sign up. Enjoy!
The Story of Soothe
Soothe empowers you to relax on your own schedule at your own home, while helping the best massage therapists earn extra income.
When I realized that after a long day of stressful traveling I wanted a massage, but wasn’t able to book an appointment at a spa on such short notice, a simple idea was born. What if an independent massage therapist with free time could help me relax with a massage at my hotel?
As I began talking with massage therapists, they kept telling me the same thing over and over again, “the spa I’m working at is paying me very little.” It turns out that spas that charge $120+ for massages are usually only paying $35 to their therapists. I decided to remove the spa from the situation and reverse the equation by empowering skilled massage therapists to earn extra income and make a better life for themselves.
From this idea, I created Soothe, an online and mobile app that connects people who want to book same-day in-home massages with the best hand-picked massage therapists.
Soothe is now the largest massage provider in Los Angeles, and has plans to be in every major city in the USA within 24 months.
