ABOUT ~ Daria Jagersky
Owner “The Busy Body”
I was born in Rhode Island, we moved to a small town in New Jersey (Ramsey) and then when I was about 12 we moved to Tucson.
Traditional college wasn’t for me. I went to community college for about a year but nothing really stood out to me in terms of finding a career so I worked as a waitress for a few years.
I have always liked helping people and would give people shoulder massages and someone told me I should consider doing it for a living as I was good at it. So I went to massage school!
I knew that owning my own business wasn’t going to be easy but it was much harder than I ever anticipated! I had limited resources (including funding) and I did rush into it a bit so I wasn’t as prepared as I wish I would have been.
I learned a lot about what not to do, what worked and what didn’t in terms of growing the business. I was grateful for the support I had from my family as without them I never would have been able to stay open!
We are going on our ninth year and we are doing great! We have plans to do a major renovation on the building and expand it, add a room to do couples massage and hopefully keep growing our team! Massage is not easy to do, it is a physically demanding job that also requires an empathetic personality and unfortunately the changes to the education have made it seem like anyone can do this, that it’s not that hard which couldn’t be further from the truth.
The demand for self-care has never been higher and to meet that need we must get higher standards of education so there can be well trained therapists to provide these services!
