Conversations with Jami Lausch

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jami Lausch.

Hi Jami, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
For Jami, massage therapy has never been just a career—it has been a calling.

I became a licensed massage therapist in 2011 after discovering a passion for helping others feel their best through therapeutic touch. During my education, I completed my externship working with prenatal clients at a local birth center, an experience that ignited a deep appreciation for supporting women throughout pregnancy and reinforced my belief in the body’s remarkable ability to heal.

After graduating, I began my career in a chiropractic office as a massage therapy assistant, where I developed a strong foundation in therapeutic, results-oriented massage. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with clients from all walks of life, including athletes, expectant mothers, individuals recovering from injuries and those simply seeking relief from the physical demands of everyday life.

One of the greatest honors of my career came in 2018 when I volunteered with the United States Olympic Team in Lake Placid, New York. Working alongside elite athletes further strengthened my commitment to helping people move better, recover faster, and live with less pain.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Like many entrepreneurs, my journey has not been without obstacles. In recent years, I faced unexpected personal health challenges that required me to step back and reevaluate my future. Rather than allowing those experiences to define me, they became the motivation to pursue a lifelong dream of owning my own business.

Today, I am proud to be the owner of Jami’s Therapeutic Touch LLC, where I provide personalized therapeutic massage in an environment focused on each client’s individual goals. Every session is designed with intention, combining experience, continuing education and genuine compassion to support the body’s natural healing process.

I believe wellness is not a luxury—it is an investment in living well. Whether someone is seeking pain relief, stress reduction, improved mobility or simply time to recharge, my goal is to help them feel empowered, restored and cared for.

To everyone who has trusted me throughout this journey, thank you. Your support has made this dream possible and I look forward to continuing to serve my community for many years to come.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
Jami’s Therapeutic Touch LLC is more than a massage practice—it’s a place where people can pause, breathe, and focus on their well-being in a personalized, supportive environment.

I’ve been a licensed massage therapist since 2011, and throughout my career I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of clients, from expectant mothers and chiropractic patients to athletes and individuals seeking relief from chronic pain and everyday stress. Those experiences have shaped my philosophy that every body is different, and every massage should be, too.

What sets my practice apart is that I do not believe in a cookie-cutter approach—and neither should anyone who joins my team. Every therapist should take the time to listen to each client’s therapeutic concerns, understand their goals, and customize every session to meet their specific needs. Whether someone is looking to relieve pain, improve mobility or simply find time to relax, my goal is to provide care that is both therapeutic and meaningful.

One of the things I’m most proud of is building a business that reflects its core values: compassion, professionalism, education, and genuine relationships. I want every client to feel welcomed and confident that they’re receiving care designed specifically for them.

I also believe massage therapy is much more than relaxation—it’s an important part of overall wellness. When we take care of our bodies, we’re better able to care for our families, our careers, and ourselves. If there’s one thing I hope readers take away, it’s that investing in your health isn’t a luxury; it’s one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.

As Jami’s Therapeutic Touch LLC continues to grow, I’m excited to share that I am currently hiring a licensed massage therapist. I’m looking for someone in the Reading, Pennsylvania area who shares my passion for personalized care, professionalism, and making a genuine difference in the lives of others. If you’re committed to treating every client as an individual and want to be part of a practice built on compassion, integrity, and excellence, I would like to hear from you.

My mission remains the same: to help people feel their best, educate them about the benefits of therapeutic massage, and create a positive impact in the community—one client at a time.

Who else deserves credit in your story?
My journey into massage therapy began with my very first massage for my 13th birthday. It was a gift from my then-aunt, who introduced me to a kind and knowledgeable massage therapist. She took the time to explain her career in depth in a way that no one else had before, outside of my parents or teachers. From that moment on, I knew I wanted to become a massage therapist just like her.

Years later, I had the privilege of learning under my primary massage therapy instructor, Beth Zullinger. Her guidance, encouragement, and high standards helped shape both my education and my work ethic, and I graduated with a 4.0 GPA.

That was only the beginning. The real education started once I began working with clients. Every person who has trusted me with their wellness has contributed to my growth as a therapist. Building skills outside of the classroom was not always easy, but I quickly learned that when clients are comfortable enough to share their stories, there is so much to learn. Throughout my career, I’ve met people from all walks of life who have shared wisdom, life experiences, and, at times, deeply difficult and irreversible stories. Those conversations have broadened my perspective, strengthened my compassion, and shaped my approach to massage therapy in ways I never could have anticipated. I am sincerely grateful to every client who has been part of that journey.

I am also incredibly thankful for the friends who have stood beside me and supported me through every stage of my career.

Another person who played an important role is my tax specialist, who prefers to remain anonymous. Around 2024, he encouraged me to consider opening my own business. His confidence in my abilities gave me the push I needed to seriously pursue that dream.

I’m especially grateful to Kendra’s Hair & Lash Studio up the stairs and her husband, who is also the property’s landlord. They welcomed me into their building and gave me the opportunity of a lifetime by providing a place where I could establish Jami’s Therapeutic Touch.

Most importantly, I am grateful to my family. From the moment I decided to pursue massage therapy, they have believed in me, encouraged me, and continued to support my goals every step of the way. Their unwavering support has been one of the greatest blessings throughout this journey.
