Meet Rochelle Eca, a Massage Therapist with over 13 years of professional massage experience. Today, we shine the spotlight on ate Rochelle—fondly called Eca by her peers—and celebrate her successes with GoodWork.
“Rochelle really took her time massaging me, di tulad ng iba na nagmamadali. She made sure na okay yung pressure niya by asking me. It’s my first time trying this app and I’ll definitely try to check other services out.”

Ate Rochelle started her Massage Therapist journey in 2008 at Wensha Spa Timog, where she was part of the first team of massage therapists: “Kasi ma’am nung 2008, nasa Wensha na ako, yung bagong bukas sa Timog. Kami talaga yung nagumpisa nun! Kami rin yung first training. Yung trainer po kasi dun, kapitbahay ko noon.”
After a couple years of being a spa-based massage therapist, she discovered GoodWork, which helped her earn more, control her time, and grow her skills: “Ang difference ng spa sa GoodWork is sa spa, full time ka doon, paglalaanan mo pa ng oras yung pagpasok mo at lalo na yung paguwi mo. Yung panahon pa naman po ngayon mahirap bumiyahe pauwi. Di gaya kay GoodWork na flexible yung oras at gagalaw ka lang pag may booking ka na. May oras na rin po ako na maalagaan ang dalawa kong anak.”
Ate Rochelle is the mother of two young boys aged 9 and 11. As the breadwinner, hardwork has always been central to her life. She recalls a recent life achievement that was made possible by her hardwork and the bookings GoodWork’s users: “Kasi po nung pumasok ako sa GoodWork, nabenta na namin yung motor dahil sa pandemic. Yun po pala, mahirap kung walang motor. Kumuha ako sa Honda at talagang nilakasan ko yung loob ko na tatapusin ko ng isang taon. Sa awa naman po ng Diyos, mula April 2021 natapos ko na lahat. Hindi ko po inuna ang luho, hanggang nakaipon na ako. Bawat pasok ng pera, hinuhulog ko na po agad.”
To ate Rochelle, being a GoodWork Massage Therapist is not only financially rewarding, it’s also emotionally rewarding because of the people she meets: “Natutuwa ako kapag na-appreciate ng client yung gawa ko. Nakakatuwa po kasi sa sunod na araw o ikalawa, ibobook ka niya ulit. Ibig sabihin po nun sa akin is nagugustuhan nila yung trabaho ko. Nagbibigay rin ng feedback ang clients na ang gawa ko daw ay pulido, na kahit 1 hour lang, hindi sila nabibitin.”
Her 5 star average rating is proof of ate Rochelle’s skills. When asked how she managed to maintain a high customer rating, she had this to say: “Ang importante po sa pag-mamassage, dapat mahal mo yung trabaho mo. Kung nagkamali ka ng una, wag kang panghinaan ng loob kasi naguumpisa ka palang. Wag ka agad panghinaan ng loob. Dapat maging inspirasyon na pagbutihin mo pa lalo yung trabaho mo. Tatagan mo lang yung loob mo sa umpisa, dahil darating rin yung araw na yung pinagpaguran mo at pinanghinaan mo, ang kapalit ay magiging masaya ka.”
