Hey!  I'm Nicole Gwaltney, Licensed Massage Therapist #1780.  I have been practicing massage therapy for almost a year now.  Here is some background information on how I became involved and interested in massage therapy.  

 

I have suffered with headaches (and neck pain and back pain) since I was in High School.  Taking Tylenol every day was not working so my mom and I sought every means possible to figure out what the problem was and how to correct it.  After going to neurologists, allergists, orthodontists, endocrinologists, chiropractors and every other doctor imaginable, we still had no real answers.  The biggest relief was with the orthodontist but I still had headaches at least four days a week.  My mom worked with a massage therapist and she suggested getting massaged.  Massage was wonderful!  I started realizing how much tension I was holding in my body.  Not only did massage help work out my tight, knotted muscles, but it helped me relax, something I didn't do often.

 

A few years later, a good friend was going through massage school and she used me as practice (and encouraged me to begin a regular regimen of going to the chiropractor).  After that, I was hooked.  There is no substitution for human touch and intuition when it comes to our muscles, and there is no way to fully get the knots out any other way (at least I'm personally convinced so) once they reach a certain point.  I was in school myself working on my bachelor's, so I thought, while I'd love to be a massage therapist, it wasn't practical for me to quit so I finished school.

 

The corporate world was not for me.  I didn't get to help people like I wanted because I was working all the time.  I asked my friend if she enjoyed being a massage therapist and if she made enough money to make ends meet.  When she said yes, I said sign me up!  As soon as I started, I knew that this is something God intended for me to do.  I graduated from Healing Touch School of Massage Therapy (now Career College) with a 4.0 GPA and a newfound knowledge and sense of respect for the human body.  I LOVE what I do.  I get to help people every day lead a less stressed, more pain-free life.  Since I know what it's like to be in pain literally every single day, it's personal for me.  I put my knowledge and intuition into every massage and tailor it to suit the individual. 

 

Come in today and experience medicine-free, all-natural massage and see what it can do for you.  And if you don't like my massages, find someone's you do like.  I'd rather you benefit from someone else than not at all.  God bless and I'll see you soon!
