Joann Hess Brings Massage Envy Spa to Annapolis - By: JillJones

Joann Hess had worked in the health insurance field for 25 years and saw firsthand the expense of what happens when people did not take care of themselves. Hess saw that 85% of the health problems that people had were due to people not treating their bodies well. So when Hess decided that she wanted to own her own business, she knew she wanted to get into something that was related to health and wellness.

Around the time that Hess began looking into new business ventures, the Massage Envy franchise was in its early stages. So Hess, intrigued by the concept, began doing her research on the company and interviewing current owners, and she soon decided that Massage Envy was the right company for her. Hess bought two contracts right away in Bel Air and Severna Park, Maryland.

Hess had always wanted to open a Massage Envy Spa in Annapolis, Maryland and many of the guests at her two clinics were actually traveling from Annapolis to receive massage therapy, asking when a clinic would be opened there. With such great success at her first two clinics and demand coming from Annapolis, Hess finally opened her third clinic on November 22, 2011 providing a spa in Annapolis, MD.

Hess describes Annapolis as a diverse, cosmopolitan, sailing town, with a lot of different business and industries. Therefore, Massage Envy Spa Annapolis gets many interesting clients, from people that work in the White House to people that work at the naval academy, to nurses, doctors and sailors. There is a great diversity of backgrounds which Hess really likes. Beyond this, the people of Annapolis are very health conscious, a lot of guests are runners, sailors and tri-athletes so massage in Annapolis, MD is a must for them, while other guests are stressed about their job and the economy, so massage is a way for them to take care of their stress naturally.

Hess always tries to give back to the community that has supported her business and has donated to various charity organizations throughout the Annapolis area. Beyond this, Hess’s biggest accomplishment in opening her Massage Envy Spa Annapolis has been the opportunity to provide steady jobs in a bad economy to aestheticians and massage therapists in Annapolis, MD.

“We have been able to sustain demand for spa services, so our massage therapists and aestheticians can work in the profession they love and not worry about whether they can pay their bills, which is usually tough when you are in the spa service,” explains Hess. “Now they can stay in a profession that allows them to heal people and it’s great for our clients too, when they can find a therapist or aesthetician that they love and know that they are going to be there months from now.”

Hess explains that her massage therapists all have different personalities and backgrounds but that they have one thing in common: they love what they do and they want to heal and change people’s lives. While the aestheticians at Massage Envy Spa Annapolis are passionate about skin care, not just beauty, they really want guests to have better skin, so they regularly show guests which products and facials in Annapolis, MD, really work for their skin type.

Hess is happy with her Massage Envy Spa Annapolis team and is grateful for the community support. She looks forward to continuing to meet the residents and business owners of Annapolis, as well as continuing to support various charities and organizations throughout the area. By providing convenient, affordable and professional massages and facials in a soothing and beautiful environment to the people of Annapolis, Hess is helping to create an environment where wellness is a priority yet affordable.
