Eda O.

Business Owner

Eda grew up on a horse farm in Texas. Her mother used alternative medicine and reflexology to treat family ailments. At holiday gatherings, Eda used to massage relatives’ feet for a dollar. She has a BA in Journalism, but loved massage so much she couldn’t bear to move on to another career. After almost two decades in the biz, Eda is convinced she is a lifer when it comes to the massage business. She often jokes with her clients the day she doesn’t show up at her table to do massage will be because she died. There is nothing more satisfying to her than knowing she has smoothed the way for another human being to enjoy the rest of their day. She believes the body is always seeking homeostasis (balance), and if she can help someone find balance, she knows their body can work to heal itself.
