Kristy’s Path to Purpose and Ownership with Brilliant Massage & Skin
In the quiet beauty of rural Vermont, a new chapter is beginning — not just for a spa, but for a seasoned wellness professional named Kristy. With decades of hands-on experience in the massage and skin care industry, Kristy is now stepping into a bold new role: franchise owner of Brilliant Massage & Skin in Stowe, Vermont.
“I’ve been in this industry for a long time — it’s been a whole lifelong journey,” Kristy shares. “Now, I’m at a point in life where I want to step away from so much hands-on work. I’m aging — that’s just the truth. And this next chapter feels right.”
Letting Go of Limits, Embracing Leadership
For Kristy, this shift isn’t about stepping back — it’s about stepping forward. Transitioning from service provider to business owner is a courageous move, one rooted in wisdom and fueled by purpose.
And while some might be intimidated by the technology, logistics, or marketing that come with business ownership, Christy found something different with Brilliant Massage & Skin:
“I’m not wonderful with technology — that’s always been a struggle for me,” she admits. “But I’ve had so much support through this process. Everything has been laid out for me in a way that works, even with my busy life and family commitments.”
A Pop-Up Spa With Big Purpose
Launching a pop-up location in Stowe may seem ambitious, but Christy proves that with the right support system, even rural areas can become thriving wellness hubs.
“I live in rural Vermont. I drive an hour just to get to my location. But if I can do this here, I truly believe anyone can do this anywhere.”
Reframing the Franchise Mindset
Kristy’s journey also involved a mental shift — one many in the wellness industry can relate to.
“When I was in massage school in California, I remember when franchises started appearing. I was against it at first — I felt like it watered down our work and disconnected us from the heart of healing.”
But Brilliant Massage & Skin changed that perspective. Kristy realized this wasn’t just a franchise — it was a supportive, values-driven community that truly understands the service-based journey.
“Now I see it differently. We need to support each other as a business and a community. That’s what this brand is about.”
Hard Work, Real Support, and the Power of Belief
Kristy is the first to admit this isn’t a shortcut to success. Owning a business takes work — real work. But she also knows she’s not alone.
“This isn’t just ‘I have the money, and it’s going to magically work.’ I work hard. But I’m not doing it without support. And that’s what makes this franchise different.”
Final Words of Encouragement
Kristy’s story is more than a testimonial — it’s an invitation. An invitation to wellness professionals everywhere who are ready to evolve, to lead, and to take ownership of their future.
“That’s my testimony. I’m doing it. And I hope you come join us one day.”
