Meet Stefani Sellers

We recently connected with Stefani Sellers and have shared our conversation below.

Stefani, looking forward to learning from your journey. You’ve got an amazing story and before we dive into that, let’s start with an important building block. Where do you get your work ethic from?

I got my work ethic from my family, but specifically from my mom and maternal grandmother. I have fond childhood memories helping my mom wash dishes (even though I broke a few because I still didn’t quite have the dexterity to hold onto a soapy dish.). My mom is the one of the hardest working people I know. She raised 3 kids alone, went back to school for her second degree, put on military spouse events, and worked full-time while still being present and attentive at every sporting event, school event, and birthday we had.
My grandmother is the other family member who helped me develop my work ethic. Her story is similar to my mom, raised 3 kids alone most of the time, put on spouse events, and two additional full time jobs. She is also fluent in several languages. I remember making sure my room was clean and organized to meet her standards and now my own. Also becoming a picky eater because she and my mom had a knack for making all family meals from scratch.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

I have always wanted to help people when I found myself in a massage school orientation I knew I was where I was supposed to be. Early on in my career I knew I wanted to do something different from the norm of relaxation massage. That’s when I found out about medical/orthopedic massage. I enjoy effecting change that helps people live pain and struggle free. I also find that providers who actively listen to their clients are desperately needed. You know your body better than I do so I listen to your experiences and use those to work WITH you to ease what troubles you. I also want to let everyone know I work thoroughly and slowly in an unrushed approach. at Ease, you feel at ease. I pride myself on quality of care and a big part of that is helping people slow down.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Adaptability, eagerness to learn, and compassion were the qualities that were and are most impactful on my journey. For adaptability a way to build that quality is to learn into your discomforts especially if you’re someone who is resistant to change or has fear around making big decisions. I consider myself a lifelong learner and I hope everyone learns throughout their life in some way. There is so much knowledge out there it’s important to stay up to date on new research in your field you may discover a better way for you to do something that saves you time and stress. Compassion is the most important quality to have. If you don’t care for those you’re working with especially in the services and medical field, you should find a job that aligns better with what you enjoy.

Tell us what your ideal client would be like?

My ideal client is ready to invest in their health. They either need regular maintenance or are actively working to overcome an orthopedic condition such as migraines and carpal tunnel. They don’t expect a quick fix (though it does happen) and they are willing to work with me and actively participate in their sessions.
