This is Johnie!
I really enjoy helping my clients change the way they feel.
Through massage therapy, I can help you relieve new or chronic pain, improve your body’s ability to move and function, and simply feel more refreshed, relaxed, and revitalized.
My Journey
I grew up in Iowa City and returned to the area in 2009. (You may recognize me from working downtown, managing the Iowa Artisans Gallery until 2015.)
In 2015, I joined a close friend in co-managing Peaceful Nature Massage in Coralville. We would frequently get massages from prospective employees, or support massage schools in the area by going to student massage clinics. I always left those massages thinking “I’d like to do that, I can do that!” So when a new massage school opened in Coralville, I was eager to sign up. I studied massage therapy at Dancing Prairie Massage Therapy College, graduating in 2018, and have been an Iowa Licensed Massage Therapist ever since!
I have a wide range of experience in the world of massage therapy. I worked at Progressive Rehabilitation Associates Physical Therapy, helping people with injury recovery and chronic pain relief. I’ve worked with athletes of all levels, including Division 1 athletes at the University of Iowa. I have experience in bodywork for depression and anxiety, and for pre- and post-surgical support. I have worked with pregnant and postpartum clients, and those experiencing peri/post-menopause. I’m comfortable and experienced working with people of all ages: children to seniors.
If you’re committed to your own wellbeing, I would love to partner with you on your path!
