Discover Your Place in Our Wellness Family

Imagine waking up every day excited to head into a peaceful sanctuary, tucked away in Ellijay's vibrant downtown, surrounded by lush North Georgia mountains. At IMBALI Day Spa, our mission is to not only nurture our clients’ well-being, but to create an environment where our team members can thrive.

From the moment you walk through our doors, with the gentle scent of essential oils and the soft melodies of nature playing in the background, you'll notice: this is no ordinary workplace. It’s a home for genuine connection, compassion, and professional growth.

What Sets IMBALI Apart as an Employer

Professional Growth in a Beautiful, Boutique Setting

Ellijay is famous for its picturesque charm, and our spa is right at the heart of that magic. When you join IMBALI, you join a team of skilled, licensed spa professionals chosen for both their technical mastery and their warm personalities.

What does it mean for you? You’ll be inspired every day by your talented coworkers, Massage Therapists, Estheticians, Spinal Flow practitioners, and Wellness Specialists, each bringing their expertise and their heart to the table. We’re proud to be one of only three places in Georgia offering Spinal Flow. Collaboration is at the core of our work. We share techniques, support each other’s continuous growing, and celebrate personal milestones as a team.

Our spa is thoughtfully designed with both our guests and our working therapists in mind. We offer accessible parking right outside the door, a large and open therapist lounge with easy access to the kitchen, and spacious treatment rooms that allow therapists to move freely and comfortably. To make each session relaxing and seamless, we play soothing central music in every room, eliminating the need for therapists to use their own phones. IMBALI is all about creating a welcoming, easygoing atmosphere where you can relax and recharge between sessions.

Thriving Compensation and Perks

At IMBALI, we show how much we value our team. Here’s what you can expect:

Competitive Pay: Licensed Massage Therapists earn $40–$70 per hour in Ellijay (50% commission + 100% tips + 10% retail commission) with daily payouts.
Generous Discounts: Indulge in spa products and services at rates designed to nourish you. We believe in giving out of a full cup. That extends to bodywork too.
Flexible Scheduling: We honor work-life balance. Whether you’re fitting in family, adventure, or education, we’ll help you make it work.
Open, Collaborative Management: We practice an open-door, down to earth leadership style with clear communication and supportive feedback.

A Space Where Your Unique Talents Shine

At IMBALI, every therapist brings something special to the table—your own strengths, your own style, your own touch. Maybe you love the calming flow of Swedish massage, maybe facials and skin care light you up, or maybe you’re drawn to Spinal Flow and energy work. Whatever your gift is, there’s space here for you to lean into it and let it shine.

We love sharing what we know, learning from each other, and growing together as a team. Some of our most requested sessions include deep tissue, cupping, facials, and energy work, but what matters most is that you bring you into every session. Clients feel it when you’re fully present, and that’s why we value you and that's what sets us apart.

There’s nothing like seeing someone walk out of a session lighter, calmer, and more at ease than when they walked in. That’s the heart of what we do here, you’re not just making a difference in their day, you’re impacting how they show up for themselves.

Our Values: Why Our Team Loves Working Here

What do our team members say about IMBALI? Here are just a few reasons they call it their professional home:

There's a lot of laughter in the kitchen. We don't just work together we enjoy our time together.
Everyone is down to earth. There’s no drama that usually comes with spa life. Also we don't dread the owners walking in. We actually look forward to seeing them
We support each other, if someone’s having a rough day, everyone steps up to help.

I love how everyone shares their knowledge and takes genuine interest in each other’s skills, offering informal instruction and swapping services to help one another grow.
