We had the good fortune of connecting with ANTONE MURRAY and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi ANTONE, why did you pursue a creative career?
As eye spent time with self alot as a child, it helped me become more aware of what eye like and dislike. From coloring to playing video games being creative within anything eye did was always present. Eye always choosecto be different and aim to be the most creative over all. Winning never appeased me. It was bringing out the most unexpected aspect of self. Leading me to my career as a wellness provider. Being selfless as my creativity to heal comes packaged in my own way.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Royal Treatment Wellness is a mobile wellness company that is now international and domestic. We have been around for over 13 years. RTW, was operating at this level when massages were still stationary for most practices. We started out with a full wellness and beauty menu.

BEAUTY
Hair
Nails
Makeup

FULL BODY WELLNESS
Massages
Body scrubs
Body Sculpting
Stretching
Waxing
Cupping
Hot stones
Lots more…

Many companies had an overhead when our focus was to be able to take on clients that the typical model didnt hsve the capacity to handle.

Doctors Lawyers Entertainers and Travelers were more of our clientele with the hours they worked, RTW was the go to wellness and beauty provider.

RTW being available to travel with our clientele to Greece, Virgin Islands and Dubai makes us different from other wellenss companies.

HOW DID YOU GET HERE?

Starting out as a Uhaul rep but operating as the manager set the tone for me. This wasnt my business eyem opening and closing the store. Building a company up that didn’t respect me or care to pay me my worth. Eye had to start thinking what career would eye love to do which will still help people although eye have more ownership. It hit me after recognizing me training the outside staff, running the inside transaction, the storage facility along with educating others on how to put on hitches and electrical to new and old vehicles.

Massage therapy!!! Ah ha thats it…
Eye remembered my cousin showing me as a child. My cousin Donelle’s mom worked in the industry and pampered herself. Which he became hip to it and he indirectly trained me as a child and it became a part of my future.

After graduating from Fremont College with honors eye was off to a journey of finding my niche and joining a African Massage group they extended the knowledge within to help me become the provider eye am today.

Showing me more entrepreneurship, ownership and how to channel my healing skills. Working long side Reiki masters and other unique gifted healers, it helped me pull out that inner child that possesed a hidden level of energy which eyem still advancing daily.

WAS IT EASY…?

Eye feel if its easy its not meant for me. Eye have always put myself in compromosed situations to know eye can come from it. Which is what eye feel is to have prepared me for this wellness journey. In my brand eye wear all the hats and eye orchestrate all the moving parts. This is and has always been a challenge. Which eye feel no one can run my business the way eye like, now that more technology is here to help us advance in our craft eye still fight with jumping full on board with the full aspect of help technology offers.

Generating clients is a job in itself for me because touch is a sensative thing. We have to put ourselves in the market to gain clients which in the beginning it definitely was a challenge. Most of what eye heard was “you look like. Baby” ” You looking like that, eye cant let you touch me” ” my husband wont let another man touch me” .
Lots of discouraging words and expressions which made me have to redirct my approach. Eye started downplaying my appearance to not be so attractive or noticeable. Also being a man in this space 15 years ago wasnt as accepting which this industry is women dominated. Having to mold to the industries energy over time thing became easier to place myself in the market overall. After finishing Sport Therapy and Rehabilitation, gaining my AA as a sport therpaist. I was able ti focus more on Royal Treatment Wellness and building a higher level if clientele and therapist that work with me.

LESSONS

Eye was able to learn many lessons more so with who people are and how they operate. Many people will try you and possibly put you in compromising situations if you let them. Thats from clients to potential business partners.
People have tried taking my brand from under my nose, set traps and conspire again me. Which is the hardest lessons because eyem an empath, single father and self made business man. The mindset of a percentage of women has truly shown me what to look out for. “The expectation that one should never have exist in those that seek higher power stemming from a higher source”. -Theeshands

To overcome eye had to clean house and start over after reclaiming my strength and raising my energy levels back to overcome the trails and tribulations eye put before me.

Its easy to get caught in the storm when your weak and being mislead. Which taking a step back to overstand whats in front of you is necessary.

WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT ME…

First, Eye love evetything and everyone.
My thought process leads me to believe everyone is capable to love display affection and be willing to sacrifice a part of themsleves for another. Although its hars for individual to claim their faults. Eye stsmd firm in all my faults as an imperfect human. Finding clarity in ones actions and being intentional is the first steps to developing a new motto for self.

Eye want wellness everywhere so thats the goto for everyone in any environment. To align self with greatness one first has to recognize the same value in self.

Being a influence is what eye always aimed for… even when those have shown rejection or complacent actions which leads them to feel eye think eyem greater then thy is the story of my life. Since childhood my peers have felt this way leading imto my adulthood. My aim has alway been high. We are in Gods image which means to me we are all creators and can managest, project and generate from within. Those that cant imagine a devine intervention is limited. For me as a healer eyem foreseeing, intuitive by nature and empathetic to those that havent reached a place within to serve them a full overstanding of who they can become. Eyem a giver a deliverer and overseer of many. Helping people elevate to their higher self is my goals.

My overall goals are to design and build the biggest spa house and a floating Wellness City before eye parish.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
For me eye would have to know my guest and friend. Overstanding who they are would help me process where we go. So lets say a therpaist friend is visiting from out of state.

After picking them up eye would take them to the beach to get acclimated with the sun. Then go for acai bowls at Ubatuba one of my favorite spots.
Freshen up and go meet some friends and family. Become grounded with love and peace. Then ask morevof what they want to see about California. Hit hollywood check out the sights and gain knowledge of its history. Take a class of some sort. (Flying, Pottery, Shooting Range, Dance Gym or something interesting.) Go to a What in the LA events, take them to a wellness gig eyem working so they can network. Rent a bikes or sports car to elevate the week. Get suvinors. Do a massage exchange and build our friendship. Drive to monumental locations and enjoy history.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
