Houston, TX – May 10,
2011 - When native Texan Diana Jenkins told her New
Hampshire-based daughter about the health benefits of a
professional massage, she had no idea that ownership of a Massage
Heights franchise was in their collective future. Today, Jenkins
and her daughter Amy Calandra are both Strategic Partners of
Massage Heights retreats, in The Woodlands, Texas (north of
Houston) and Bedford, New Hampshire, respectively. Additionally,
Mrs. Calandra serves as the Massage Heights Area Developer for the
Northeast Region.
“My mother discovered
Massage Heights several years ago,” says Mrs. Calandra, “and she
suggested that I explore the franchise as a business opportunity.
We were both drawn to the operation’s high standards and
membership-based marketing approach, but at that time, there were
no franchise locations available in her area. ”
That all changed last year, when the Massage Heights Woodlands at
Alden Bridge retreat came up for option. Diana Jenkins and her
husband Jack decided to come out of retirement to assume control
of the Woodlands enterprise which originally opened in 2008.
Working in tandem
with Retreat Director Steven Nacol, the Jenkins family made a
significant investment in order to elevate the Woodlands Massage
Heights retreat to an optimum level of performance. Top of the
line linens, an expanded line of retail products, and additional
staffing are expected to enhance the customer experience and add
prestige to the retreat.
“We’re very excited
about the improvements we’re making,” observes Mrs. Jenkins, a
former homemaker who has become an integral part of the day-to-day
operations. “Our members can expect to see upgrades in everything
from the quality of our linens to the efficiency of our scheduling
procedures. Our guests will be served quickly, but with that
special touch of luxury that says we pay attention to the details
and care about delivering a massage experience that is as relaxing
as it is luxurious.”
Mrs. Jenkins and her
husband, a retired railroad executive, make their home in Conroe,
Texas, and now join a Massage Heights Houston entrepreneurial
collective that includes thirteen, individually-owned retreats.
Massage Heights Woodlands at Alden Bridge is located at 8021
Research Forest, Suite A, The Woodlands, TX 77382-1488

“I can’t tell you how
excited we are to embark on this new journey of faith,” says
Jenkins. “God led us to this place, and with His help, we are
going to bring excitement to our employees and a quality
experience to Massage Heights Woodlands. If you’ve been here
before, we hope you’ll return soon. And if you’ve never visited
us, you don’t know what you’re missing!”
