Registered Massage Therapist Talk with Jessica Harder
Jessica Harder is from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. She has been an esthetician for 16 years graduating from Marvel college in 2006. She worked in many spas and salons, like Eveline Charles and even did a 9 month contract on Disney Cruise Lines back in 2008. This gave her an attention to detail work ethic, and her – ‘it’s all about the customer’ attitude, as she truly likes to make sure her clients self-care needs are being looked after in a relaxing and comfortable environment. Since 2018, Jessica rents her own studio space and is working for herself. This allowed her to grow her business and gain a loyal, regular base of clients. Looking to grow more, she decided to go back to school in 2020 for Massage Therapy at Vicars School of Massage Therapy in Edmonton. She graduated on June 11, 2022. Jessica is excited to bring her vast knowledge from the spa industry to the more wellness focused goals of massage therapy.
