Massage Therapist – Guaranteed Hourly Pay + Established Clientele

Tired of commission-only massage jobs?

At Kneaded Relief Day Spa & Wellness, we believe massage therapists deserve to be paid for all of their work—not just the time their hands are on a guest.

Unlike most spas and franchises, our therapists receive a guaranteed hourly wage for every minute worked, including setup time, cleanup time, meetings, training, and supporting the team.

We've been a Madison-area favorite for nearly 30 years and have built a loyal clientele that keeps our therapists busy. Our goal is simple: provide an environment where talented therapists can build a long-term career without sacrificing their bodies, family life, or financial stability.
