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

Hi Jamarcia, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I was in college to be a physical therapist assistant and realized that career wasn’t for me but i wished to still be in the field of physically helping people. Decided to go to school for massage therapist and met a friend there and we worked on a project about business and decided this was an idea we should pursue.

What should our readers know about your business?
Getting into business was challenging: due to having to start with 0 clients and not knowing which marketing strategy to use when you have little to no support. But realizing that patients and consistency were the key to building was very satisfying to watch myself and my company grow. My business is a black owned business as well as we assure 5star treatment to our clients at home and in our spa. I specialize in customizing clients massage to benefit their needs. And pride myself on 100% customer satisfaction.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Florida and Atlanta (my city) are the best cities to visit and to get your business up and running.
