Meet Susan O’Dea – The Friendly Hands Behind Relaxation at Full Circle Acupuncture & Wellness

If you’ve ever walked out of a massage thinking, “Wow… I didn’t realize how much tension I was carrying,” then you already understand why Susan O’Dea loves what she does.

Susan became a Registered Massage Therapist because she’s always been drawn to work that helps people feel better in their everyday lives. A self-described science nerd, she loves understanding how the body works — but just as much she enjoys meeting new people, hearing their stories, and helping someone leave their appointment feeling lighter, looser, and a whole lot better.

One technique Susan thinks everyone should experience at least once is trigger point therapy combined with deep tissue work. Many people carry stubborn tension in their neck, shoulders, and hips without realizing it — and when those knots finally release, the relief can be incredible.

One myth Susan loves to bust? Massage has to hurt to work.

“Good therapeutic work can be deep and effective without feeling like a battle between the therapist and your muscles,” she says. “It’s about working with the body, not against it.”

Every session begins with a conversation about pain levels, stress, and what clients want from their treatment. From there, Susan tailors the pressure and techniques so each massage truly matches what the body needs that day.


Many clients are surprised when regular massage helps improve sleep, headaches, jaw tension, and overall mobility — a reminder that the body is more connected than we often realize.

If her massage style had a theme song, she laughs and says it would be “Hurt So Good” by John Mellencamp — because sometimes those stubborn knots need a little work before the amazing relief kicks in.

✨ Come in and meet Susan and discover how good your body is meant to feel. Whether you’re dealing with tension, pain, stress, or just need time to reset, massage therapy can help you move, feel, and live better.

Meet Valerie Genge – The Heart Behind Full Circle Acupuncture & Wellness

After more than 20 years in healthcare, Valerie Genge knew it was time to create her own vision of healing — and that’s how Full Circle Acupuncture & Wellness was born.

Combining her background in recreation and gerontology with a lifelong fascination for Eastern medicine and holistic health, Valerie has created a space where modern technology meets time-honored therapies.

What first drew her to acupuncture? From day one, Valerie had an innate feeling she was meant for this work. She’s fascinated by the body's energy systems, the interconnectedness of all things, and the powerful ways Traditional Chinese Medicine can support healing.

Her patients range from elderly clients she has cared for since her internship to people seeking relief from pain, migraines, injuries, or fertility challenges. Seeing someone reclaim their quality of life is what Valerie says is the most rewarding part of her day — aside from the wonderful conversations she has with clients along the way.

At Full Circle, every treatment is personalized and client-focused. Valerie blends acupuncture, laser therapy, photobiomodulation, cupping, gua sha, and other TCM modalities with evidence-based care. Pain management is a specialty, but the clinic also supports internal disorders, sports injuries, migraines, TMJ, and post-operative recovery. With the help of a Registered Massage Therapist on her team, clients leave feeling relaxed, restored, and empowered.

Valerie also loves helping people feel comfortable trying acupuncture for the first time:
“The needles are tiny — 25 to 50 times smaller than a hypodermic needle — and most people fall asleep during treatment. It’s incredibly relaxing. Acupuncture can also help reduce stress and stimulate the body’s own neurotransmitters to promote natural healing.”

When she’s not in the clinic, you’ll likely find her gardening, cooking, spending time with her grandchildren and dogs, listening to music, or planning her next trip. Fun fact: she’s a coffee lover (and occasionally gin!) and never misses an episode of Jeopardy.
