The smartest decision I made after graduating from massage school was seeking employment at a well-established spa. Cassie is so knowledgeable in the spa industry and is continuously working hard to maintain the highest standards of care for our guests and employees. The spa also provides a retirement match, which was a rare find in this industry.

When I was relocating to Des Moines, East Village Spa was the only spa I wanted to work for. I appreciate the inclusivity and evidence-based approach to massage therapy. It was apparent to me that the entire East Village Spa team worked hard to elevate the massage and spa professions and I wanted to be a part of that.
