Building the Valley: Kensington’s New Therapeutic Massage Business Is Thriving

Then came covid-19 and the activity I loved came to a halt amid pandemic restrictions.

But instead of looking for a new position, the New Kensington resident was time to bet on herself.

Advice from a consumer led her to consult with Michael Malcanas, president of Old Towne Overhaul, and Michelle Thom, chief operating officer. After saving money over time while unemployed, Vaughn-Clemons was able to secure a position for her business in less than two days.
