The Busy Body

Welcome our new therapist to the team, Jessica Gaddis!
There are some massages that leave you feeling relaxed, and others that leave you feeling genuinely cared for. My session with Jessica was both.

One of the first things I noticed was how easy it was to relax on her table. Jessica has a calm, compassionate presence that immediately puts you at ease. You never feel rushed, and throughout the session I could tell she was fully present and attentive to what my body needed.

As someone who appreciates quality deep tissue work, I was especially impressed by her ability to work into the muscles with confidence while keeping the pressure comfortable. She found that perfect balance—engaging the tissue enough to create meaningful release without making the massage feel overly intense. It's a skill that's harder to master than most people realize, and Jessica does it exceptionally well.

I also appreciated how thoroughly she worked through each area of the body. Rather than moving quickly from one muscle group to the next, she allowed herself the time to address areas of tension with care and purpose. The entire massage felt unhurried, thoughtful, and complete.

What I admire most about Jessica is that her technical ability is matched by genuine compassion. She creates an environment where clients can feel safe, comfortable, and truly listened to. Combined with her trauma-informed training and commitment to providing individualized care, it's easy to see why clients leave her sessions feeling both physically and emotionally restored.

If you're someone who enjoys therapeutic massage but doesn't want to feel like you have to "fight through the pain," I think you'll really appreciate Jessica's style. She has a wonderful ability to combine effective treatment with a calming, compassionate touch, making every session both productive and deeply relaxing.

Welcome our newest therapist to our team Andela!

As a massage therapist myself, I'm fortunate to experience the work of every therapist who joins our team. Each person has their own unique style, and one of my favorite parts is discovering what makes each massage special.

With Andela, the first thing I noticed was her flow. Her movements felt smooth and connected, allowing the massage to transition naturally from one area of the body to the next without interruption. It created a sense of relaxation that made it easy to settle in and simply enjoy the experience.

Another thing that impressed me was her consistency. The pressure remained steady throughout the entire session, so I never found myself wishing for more or less. That consistency is something clients truly appreciate because it allows the body to relax and trust the process.

What really sets Andela apart, though, is her intention. Every technique felt purposeful—not rushed or repetitive, but thoughtfully applied based on what she was working on. She pays attention to the small details, taking the time to perform each movement with care and precision rather than simply moving through a routine.

One of the qualities I admire most is her dedication to learning. Since graduating from Carrington College, she has continued to expand her knowledge through additional training and is always looking for ways to refine her skills. That commitment to growth shows in her work and gives me confidence that she'll continue to become an even stronger therapist as her career progresses.

We're excited to have Andela on our team and can't wait for more of our clients to experience the care, attention, and quality she brings to every session!
