Vida Barkauskiene

International Massage Therapist & SPA Specialist

Vida's Professional Experience

Vida's experience spans Europe, and the United States — bringing together massage therapy, SPA practice, bodywork, aesthetics, luxury wellness, and international client care. It isn't built around one workplace or one method, but through years of hands-on work, international training, and professional responsibility.

Experience Overview

A Career With Depth, Range, and International Standards

Vida has worked across luxury SPA environments, professional massage settings, rehabilitative care, and the Lithuanian SPA and beauty industry — all built on an early medical and therapeutic massage foundation.

Her experience includes:

  • SPA Specialist at a private day spa in Vilnius (current).
  • Licensed Massage Therapist in Colorado, United States.
  • Colorado Athletic Club Monaco, Denver.
  • New Heights Chiropractic and Rehabilitation, Highlands Ranch.
  • Founder and owner of Beauty Empire — Grožio Imperija, Kaunas.
  • Medical massage and nurse-masseuse training.
  • International SPA, massage, aesthetics, and bodywork education across Lithuania, France, Italy, Germany, and the United States.

Each stage added another layer: her current role reflects luxury SPA standards, Colorado reflects international practice, SPA ownership reflects leadership, her medical background reflects discipline, and her lifelong training reflects serious commitment to growth.

Current Role

SPA Specialist — Vilnius

Since 2022, Vida has worked as an internationally certified massage therapist and SPA specialist at a private day spa in Vilnius — a refined wellness setting in the heart of the city, with spacious treatment areas, pool and sauna, hammam experiences, and a carefully designed day SPA concept. As a certified massage specialist, Vida has fifteen years of professional SPA experience.

Her role reflects her ability to work in a high-standard environment where clients expect calmness, professionalism, discretion, and quality. Here she brings together her international massage experience, European SPA education, and Colorado-licensed background — the continuation of a long path built through care, skill, and constant learning.

Colorado Experience

Licensed Massage Therapist Experience in Colorado

Vida lived and worked for almost ten years in Colorado. During that time she earned and held a State of Colorado massage license and practiced professionally as a Licensed Massage Therapist in both wellness and rehabilitative care environments.

This chapter gave her valuable international perspective and strengthened her ability to work with clients from different backgrounds, cultures, and expectations.

Colorado Athletic Club Monaco

Licensed Massage Therapist — Colorado Athletic Club Monaco

In Denver, Vida worked at Colorado Athletic Club Monaco, a premium athletic and wellness environment where clients valued fitness, recovery, health, and personal wellbeing.

The setting called for professionalism, consistency, discretion, and the ability to support clients with a wide range of wellness goals and bodywork needs — adding an important athletic, recovery-focused dimension to her massage therapy experience.

New Heights Chiropractic and Rehabilitation

Licensed Massage Therapist — New Heights Chiropractic and Rehabilitation

Vida also worked at New Heights Chiropractic and Rehabilitation, a chiropractic and rehabilitative care practice serving Highlands Ranch, Colorado and surrounding areas, where she performed professional massage therapy as a Licensed Massage Therapist.

Here her work sat within a rehabilitative environment, supporting clients focused on physical comfort, mobility, recovery, and overall wellbeing. Together, her two Colorado roles gave her experience across both premium wellness and rehabilitative care.

Founder Background

Founder and Owner — Beauty Empire / Grožio Imperija

Before her years in the United States, Vida founded and owned Beauty Empire — "Grožio Imperija" — in Kaunas, one of the largest SPA and beauty centres in Lithuania at the time, drawing clients from Kaunas and other major cities.

As founder and owner, her responsibilities included:

  • Creating a professional client experience.
  • Developing SPA and beauty service standards.
  • Managing treatments and service quality.
  • Working directly with clients.
  • Building trust and reputation.
  • Bringing beauty, massage, aesthetics, and wellness together under one centre.

She was not only a practitioner but a business founder who understood service quality, client expectations, and long-term reputation.

Medical Foundation

Early Medical and Therapeutic Massage Foundation

Vida's foundation includes healthcare, medical massage, and nurse-masseuse training. She worked as a Registered Nurse in a hospital setting in Lithuania, including experience with patients in reanimation — an early bridge between healthcare and the massage career she later built.

Although her focus today is massage therapy, SPA work, bodywork, and wellness, this foundation still shapes the careful, observant, and respectful way she approaches every client.

International Experience

Lithuania, Europe, and the United States

Vida's experience is international in both practice and training. She has worked professionally in Lithuania and the United States and trained across several countries, giving her exposure to different wellness cultures and standards:

  • Lithuanian SPA and beauty industry experience.
  • European massage, bodywork, and aesthetics training.
  • French and Italian SPA and cosmetic systems.
  • German holistic and wellness training.
  • U.S. massage licensing and professional practice in Colorado.
  • Luxury SPA experience in Vilnius.

This breadth gives her a mature, well-rounded understanding of massage therapy, SPA practice, bodywork, and client care.
