Lisa Janeen Webb

Lisa Janeen Webb worked for the Daniels Summit Lodge as a Group Coordinator. When the owner talked about opening a day spa in the lodge, Janeen, only half-serious told him… "I’ll go to massage school and when I’m done I’ll be your spa manager." Janeen from Tabiona, Utah had wanted to be a Massage Therapist since she was 15 years old. Not too long after this conversation she was approached and asked if she would seriously consider becoming a therapist and manage the spa. She enrolled into the UCMT Professional Massage Therapy Program immediately.

The rest is history, in October 2002 Janeen graduated with DP-22 from the Utah Valley Campus. She licensed quickly and went to work for the Daniels Summit Lodge as the Spa Manger. Since she started her job, she has been surprised at how many other opportunities have come her way as a therapist. In a recent visit to the campus Janeen said "If you just get out and start doing the work, you would be surprised what kind of opportunities come available to you! But you have to be out doing the work." Despite the offers that have come her way, Janeen remains loyal to Daniels Summit Lodge and loves her new career.

Janeen had many obstacles during her education. The first of which was having to be away from her husband and her daughter. Janeen stayed in the Salt Lake area while she went through school and traveled home to Tabiona, to be with her family on the weekends. She also took on the financial burden of only having one income during this period of time. Despite her struggles, she maintained perfect attendance, received a 4.0 and managed to receive the High Five Award. "The Utah College of Massage Therapy is molding us to be working professionals, it is not meant to be easy, it wouldn’t be one of the best schools in the industry if it was easy."

When asked what advice she would give to students and graduates of the program, she said: "Dig in and follow your dreams, keep a journal. You need to realize that there is so much out there you just need to do it."
