810HM Massage & Co

What 810HM Massage & Co does

81OHM Massage & Co is a privately-held wellness studio founded in November 2022 in Flint, Michigan, operating from a single physical location at 130 East 2nd Street. The studio offers a diversified suite of therapeutic services including chair massage, table massage (across ten modalities such as Swedish, deep tissue, sports, prenatal, cupping, Thai, and medical massage), therapeutic stretching, auricular acupuncture (Acudetox), and three disciplines of yoga instruction (Hatha, Ashtanga Vinyasa, and Restorative). Walk-in chair massage is available Tuesday through Friday 11AM-3PM, with full-service appointments Tuesday through Sunday, and on-site private event chair massage and in-home massage therapy extend the service footprint beyond the studio.

The business operates on a multi-stream revenue model combining recurring monthly subscriptions ($65-$260/month tiers plus a $130/month bundled 'Self-Care Club'), class packs ($40 for five classes, $80 for ten), drop-in yoga at $10/class, gift cards ($20+), and one-time chair massage and acupuncture sessions. Payment processing is handled through Square, with subscription billing on the 15th of each month carrying a 2.6% surcharge. There are no proprietary technology assets, mobile apps, or AI/ML capabilities; the technology stack is limited to a WordPress website with integrated Square appointment booking.

The customer base is primarily individual consumers in the Flint area seeking wellness, stress relief, and therapeutic care, with secondary segments including corporate/private event clients and members of partner organizations (Harris Family Health, Flint City Bucks, Flint & Genesee Chamber of Commerce, and SUP Flint Green), who receive $10 discounts through a formal partner perks program. The studio is founder-owned and operated by Kara Dahlberg, a licensed massage therapist with 12+ years of experience, supported by a team of four credentialed practitioners. The company received a single disclosed $10,000 grant from the Flint & Genesee Economic Alliance in February 2025, and no institutional venture or private equity capital is in evidence.

Direct peers

• Massage Envy: The largest US membership-based massage and skincare franchise chain, offering recurring subscription-style service packages at neighborhood studios. Operates the same core business model (subscription-based massage in a single physical studio) that 81OHM uses, but at national scale.
• Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa: National franchise offering massage, facial, and stretch services in a studio retail setting with membership pricing. Directly comparable to 81OHM's table massage, facial-adjacent skincare, and subscription offerings.
• Elements Massage: Franchise chain focused exclusively on therapeutic massage with single-modality studios and member pricing. Closely comparable to 81OHM's therapeutic massage focus and studio-based walk-in plus appointment model.
• Massage Green SPA: Multi-state massage studio chain with subscription packages and walk-in availability. Comparable to 81OHM in subscription tiering, walk-in service, and broad modality mix within a small-format studio.
• The Now Massage: Boutique massage studio concept offering a curated, design-forward massage experience. Comparable to 81OHM in its single-modality focus per visit, premium positioning, and studio retail format.

Broad incumbents

• Woodhouse Spa: Upscale day spa chain offering massage, facials, body treatments, and wellness services. Overlaps with 81OHM's massage and therapeutic offering but operates at higher price points and with a broader spa menu.
• Life Time Fitness: National premium fitness club operator that incorporates spa, massage, yoga, and wellness services into its membership offering. Comparable in offering yoga classes and massage therapy, but bundled into a much larger fitness membership.

Emerging players

• Soothe: On-demand mobile massage app that dispatches therapists to homes, hotels, and offices. Comparable to 81OHM in mobile/in-home massage offering and chair massage for corporate events, though operating via an app-based marketplace model.
• Zeel: On-demand massage platform connecting users with licensed therapists for in-home and corporate chair massage. Comparable to 81OHM's on-site corporate event chair massage and in-home massage services.
• StretchLab: Franchise specializing in assisted stretching sessions in a retail studio. Directly comparable to 81OHM's dedicated therapeutic stretching service line as a stand-alone, studio-delivered offering.
