Exploring Life & Business with Megan McCusker of Megan McCusker Massage

Today we’d like to introduce you to Megan McCusker. 

Hi Megan, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Massage has always been an interest of mine, and it’s amazing how many ways it can help people from the more mental benefits to the physical. Originally, I was drawn to massage because of its relaxation benefits. While in massage school, I heard stories about people being able to walk again after surgery, or regaining major mobility after an injury. I was very inspired and immediately knew that pain relief would be my focus. I graduated in 2015 and since then I have continued to learn more modalities to help more people out of pain. 

My type of therapy is a blend of flowing massage and targeted bodywork. 

I am certified in Neural Reset Therapy and Spontaneous Muscle Release Technique. Both of these modalities are amazing for swiftly melting tense areas without the need for forceful pressure. I also have some trainings in Thai massage, so I often incorporate stretching or movement into a session. I also offer microcurrent point stimulation, which is excellent for pain and scar tissue. Other yummy add ons cupping, Himalayan hot salt stones, hot towels, and aromatherapy. With all the custom choices I keep my treatments all one price, no charge for the extras! 

It is really rewarding to help people recover from injury, surgery, stress, and more. 

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I have spent some years working for others or in group settings. I was used to some structure and some things that were provided for me. Going out on my own, I had to learn to be my own boss and keep many things running at once. I find discipline challenging, but I am very passionate about my business. My clients have been awesome! So that’s really helped me stay motivated. Other challenges have more to do with self-limiting beliefs and learning to trust myself to make mistakes or take risks. 

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
I offer outstanding massage and bodywork for pain relief. My work is very relaxing and great for soothing aches or restricted spots. What sets me apart, is my ability to target a problem area very specifically. I can help with many types of muscle, joint, and fascial pain. My work is great for athletes, computer workers, injury recovery, sciatic pain. 

We all have a different way of looking at and defining success. How do you define success?
Success is that feeling you get when you’ve worked towards something and achieve your goal. I personally feel great about continuing to make more connections, meet new clients, help people feel better, save financially, and always be learning more about massage techniques and business stuff. It also feels like success to have a job I truly look forward to doing each day!
