Today we’d like to introduce you to Shantel Seraaj.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I’ve been a massage therapist for 12 years. I graduated from Anthem college that was located in St. Louis Park, Minnesota from there massage therapy program. I have a lot of experience. I’ve worked at the University of Minnesota on injured athletes. I’ve worked at chiropractic and physical therapy offices also at hotel Ivy Spa. In 2017, I decided to go off on my own taking everything I’ve learned and start my own business called Escape To Paradise LLC.
Specializing in deep tissue, sport, and relaxation massage.
2018, I went to Miami and got a Brazilian butt lift (cosmetic surgery) after knowing how important my post-op care and lymphatic drainage massages were I got more training on it on and added it on as a service. Now Connected with a phenomenal local cosmetic surgeon Dr. Chris Balgobin also known as DR. BBL bringing in more clientele he also has my business information in his welcome packet.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
I would say the most challenging part has been marketing myself even posting on social media showing my work. On top of running my business full-time for the first few years alone. Just trying to find a balance.
Covid-19 also slowed business down a lot with having to shut down for months.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I specialize in deep tissue. I’ve worked on NFL players, and top personal trainers. As well as post-op lymphatic drainage massage and body sculpting. Working on clients that just got cosmetic surgery for interest a tummy tucks, Brazilian butt lift, or fat transfers most doctors recommend they get post-op lymphatic drainage massages to help drain the lymphatic system after surgery to maximize their results. I also have an RN that works with me.
What sets me apart is my experience and my passion to help others and affordable pricing. I also have a 5-star rating o Google.
What do you like and dislike about the city?
The education department is great here and I love how diverse it is in Minneapolis. also love how we all come together to stand up for justice and equal rights I like that we’re more friendly here than in other states and that our state is very clean and it’s always something to do parks, shopping at the Mall of America and good restaurants to eat at.
I dislike the cold weather. I don’t mind the snow but when it’s negative degrees outside, I don’t wanna leave home. Also, dislike the parking in uptown mpls.
