ANEW Massage Voted #1 Best of the Best in Therapeutic Massage
We are proud to announce that Chamber Member ANEW MASSAGE, LLC recently was Voted #1 in Therapeutic Massage in the Spartanburg Herald-Journal’s Best of the Best 2020 contest. These awards celebrate and recognize the best the Spartanburg area community has to offer. Only the top businesses in each category make it to the final voting stage. Anew Massage is locally owned and operated by Clysta K. Clark right here in Inman SC at 11064 Asheville Highway, Suite A105.
As the owner of ANEW Massage, LLC, Clysta Clark, LMBT, does much more than therapeutic massage, she specializes in therapeutic massage services from goal-orientated sessions to relaxation therapy and Oncology massage. Sessions are customized, integrating various modalities designed to increase range of motion, remove trigger points, reduce stressor achieve other goals.
“My company is a local small business and I live in the community I serve, which is very important to me,” Clark said. “I have several clients that have referred every member of their family to me for treatment. It’s so very rewarding.”
A native of Swanton, Vermont, Clark moved to the Upstate 28 years ago, settling in Inman, SC, a community similar in size and character to her hometown. She attended Spartanburg Community College earning an Associate Degree in Applied Science Management with Marketing that gave her the skills to run her own business.
Clark not only serves her community professionally but also as a volunteer with organizations such as the Greater Inman Area Chamber of Commerce, Habitat for Humanity and Spartanburg County Parks and Recreation. She is a member of the American Massage Therapy Association, Society of Oncology Massage, and Oncology of the Carolinas.
When not working, Clark enjoys photography and being in nature. But her favorite job is being Mimi to grandchildren Gavin, Liam and Emma.
