Job Description

Overview

The Lead Massage Therapist (Lead LMT) is a full-time leadership role responsible for elevating massage operations, therapist performance, and client experience at the store level. This individual serves as both a clinical expert and on-floor leader, ensuring consistent execution of Clean Market’s service standards while acting as a cultural anchor for the LMT team.

At Clean Market, Lymphatic Drainage Massage (LDM) is a cornerstone offering within our science-backed, preventative wellness model. As a Lead LMT, you are not only delivering exceptional bodywork—you are guiding clients through a personalized wellness journey that supports detoxification, recovery, and overall well-being.

This role requires mastery across all Clean Market massage modalities—including lymphatic sculpting, signature massage, facial massage, prenatal and deep tissue massage—as well as the ability to train, coach, and inspire a high-performing team.

The Clean Market Approach to Massage

Clean Market’s Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a gentle yet highly effective treatment designed to support the body’s natural detoxification and immune function. By guiding lymphatic fluid through precise, intentional techniques, therapists help reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and promote overall balance.

Our method integrates:

• Swedish massage techniques to enhance relaxation and circulation
• Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) for targeted fluid movement
• Myofascial release to relieve tension and improve mobility
• Tools such as cupping, Gua Sha, and dry brushing to enhance results

Every treatment is personalized based on client goals—whether focused on detox, sculpting, recovery, or relaxation.

As Lead LMT, you are responsible for upholding and teaching this methodology with precision and consistency.
