EPIC Services- February 2020

Located in Tampa, Florida, EPIC Services focuses on massage therapy and all of its benefits. EPIC Services strives to be a one stop shop for all of your alternative health needs while maintaining a strong relationship with the community.

Nelson was working as a traveling massage therapist when his client list grew to a point where he didn’t have enough time in the day for all of his appointments and travel time. This is when Nelson and his wife, Heather, decided to open up a designated location for their services called EPIC Services.

What makes EPIC Services so unique compared to its competitors is that they have two therapists that specialize in SET work (Structural Energetic Therapy). With only about 110 people who know how to do this type of work worldwide, having two in a single location is very rare! Aside from this, they’re currently building salt and sound booths (which will be the ONLY ones in Hillsborough County), as well as one of the largest salt rooms in the area.

Looking to the future, Heather and Nelson hope to open up more EPIC Services locations and eventually pass the business onto their children!
