Meet the Business Owner

Jessica R.

Business Owner

I became interested in pursuing massage therapy when I began my own personal rehabilitation work. I experienced incredible relief from pain through a therapeutic massage treatment. My interest was peaked so I took a workshop in 2004 and then fell instantly in love with the work. I completed a 2 year program at the Desert Institute of the Healing Arts in Massage and Shiatsu. Over the 8 years I have been practicing, I have discovered how amazing it is to help facilitate change in the body on a physical level. Ever since I chose to pursue this career it has felt completely right for me. Working with clients to help them feel better is one of my biggest passions and I strive to continue educating myself about the complexities of the human body and how to best achieve the results my clients are looking for. I love doing specific work with repetitive or sports injuries. I also value a structural approach because the problem may not be coming from the area that hurts.
