Shane Franson-Evans is currently leading Massage Heights as a Co-Founder since April 2004. Shane came up with the idea of starting Massage Heights from her personal experiences with the massage therapist. Shane has a lower back injury that caused her a lot of pain, leading her to a massage therapist. Shane learned that such massages were out of reach for many people, and there was a lot of room for improvement. It provoked her to start Massage Heights to provide quality, affordable services.

Shane Franson-Evans joined the President’s Health Club, where she had a great learning experience. Shane worked her way up through the ranks quickly there. She learned about customer service and management skills as there was very high growth in the Gym business. Being associated with the President’s Health Club gave her the confidence to achieve more out of life. Shane gained an understanding of membership-based business models with recurring revenues with her gym experience. Since there was barely any competition in the massage space, she decided to start her venture.
