Meet Your Manager : Bella Criscuolo

Hello! I’m Bella Criscuolo, the General Manager of Squeeze Westport! My journey through management, sales, and customer service has deepened my love for people, a passion I balance with time spent traveling and enjoying life with family and friends.

My management style is centered around creating an equal and fair workspace where everyone feels comfortable and supported, with a clear grasp of our goals.

Inspired by Martin Luther King Jr., I strive to lead with fairness and a focus on the well-being of my team, ensuring everyone is checked in on daily and that their mental and physical health is prioritized.

Our shop's culture can be summed up in three words : welcoming, enjoyable, and personable. My teams see me as a positive, easy-to-talk-to leader who is efficient, timely, and fair.

When not working, I love exploring new places, each offering unique and fulfilling experiences, and my favorite TV show is 'Gilmore Girls.

If I were a dog, I'd be a French Bulldog having always shared a special bond with them. And my perfect entrance music? 'We are Family' by Sister Sledge, reflecting the tight-knit, supportive atmosphere I cultivate in our team."

GROW WITH US

We are building an industry-leading business with 50+ locations in development across the country. Squeeze Massage Therapists work as a cohesive team at the heart of the Squeeze brand.

If you want to be involved in growing and shaping a new, innovative organization with ongoing career opportunities, then we’d love you to be part of our team and an exciting future.

I acknowledge that I am applying for employment with an independently owned and operated Squeeze Franchise, a separate company and employer from Squeeze Corporate and any of its affiliates or subsidiaries.

I understand that each independent franchisee is solely responsible for all decisions relating to employees, including and without limitation : hiring and termination, benefits, compensation, day to day activities, and terms or conditions of employment.

Any questions about my application or the hiring process must be directed to the locally owned and operated Squeeze franchisee.
