Today we’d like to introduce you to Kenton Benson.
Hi Kenton, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Kenton’s journey into healing began with a simple desire: to help people recover from injuries. While sports medicine initially caught his interest, he ultimately found his true calling in the art of massage therapy, graduating in 2014.
The early years were filled with exploration and growth. Kenton refined his skills in spa settings while traveling, expanding his perspective and gaining hands-on experience. During this time, he immersed himself not only in therapeutic techniques but also in learning the business side of the profession.
In 2020, he took a major step forward by launching his first business, Golden Pressure Massage, originally based in Iowa. After relocating with his family to Orlando in 2022, the practice evolved into its next chapter. Golden Pressure Massage of Maitland, Florida, was officially founded in 2025 and quickly gained recognition, earning a spot among the Top 10 Massage Therapists in Maitland that same year.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. Like many small business owners, the journey came with its share of challenges. Building a practice from the ground up required patience, consistency, and a lot of faith—especially in the beginning when progress felt slow and unpredictable.
One of the biggest struggles was balancing the physical demands of hands-on work with the responsibilities of running a business. There were moments of uncertainty, especially during transitions like relocating to a new state and rebuilding a client base from scratch. Starting over in a new community forced us to step outside the comfort zone and trust the process.
Those challenges ultimately shaped the foundation of Golden Pressure Massage. They taught resilience, adaptability, and the importance of staying connected to our purpose.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Golden Pressure Massage?
Golden Pressure Massage is built around intentional, results-driven bodywork. The focus goes beyond relaxation to helping clients move better, recover faster, and feel stronger in their everyday lives. Each session is customized, combining deep tissue techniques, medical massage, myoskeletal alignment, and Swedish massage based on what the body actually needs.
What sets the practice apart is the attention to detail and the relationship built with each client. There’s an emphasis on listening—understanding pain patterns, movement habits, and stress points—so the work is both effective and sustainable. Clients often come in dealing with chronic tension, injuries, or burnout and leave feeling noticeable, lasting relief.
Brand-wise, we are most proud of the trust Golden Pressure Massage has earned within the local community. Being recognized as a Top 10 Massage Therapist in Maitland reflects that commitment to consistency, integrity, and quality care.
Alright so before we go can you talk to us a bit about how people can work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
People can work with us by booking one-on-one sessions at Golden Pressure Massage, where each appointment is tailored to the individual and their goals. We welcome clients who are looking for more than a quick fix and value consistent, intentional care.
Collaboration is also an important part of the work. We enjoy partnering with local businesses, fitness professionals, wellness practitioners, and community organizations that share a commitment to helping people feel and function better. Supporting the brand can be as simple as spreading the word, referring friends and family, or choosing to support local, independent wellness.
