Smyle's Touch

04/19/2026

I truly love the work that I do.

Providing healing bodywork and assisting clients with not only physical relief, but a whole body alignment. My goal is to help you achieve the peace you need to thrive in every area of your life.

Grateful for these recent words from my clients:

"You're not a massage therapist, the way you dissect and follow the fascia, you're a surgeon. Thanks for a wonderful session. See you soon!" - Chiropractor, 90-minute Deep Tissue w/ hot stones

"When I go to the mall, it's like a rock concert; but when I come here, I feel like a symphony." - CH, 30-minute chair massage

"Where do I begin? Edmund's energy was subtle, professional and to the point. The Alignment Theory session was incredibly powerful as it prepared all aspects of me and my physical body to release what was being stored as heavy emotions from childhood. I woke up the next day feeling so light, cheerful and full of energy. I felt revitalized and restored. I highly recommend giving the Alignment Theory session a try if you are dealing with stuck pain, emotion or trauma, including a deep tissue massage. Edmund knows what he's doing, and he does it very well! Worth the money and the experience alone." - AB, Alignment Theory 120-minutes

Smyle's Roots

While going through some old papers I found these, which took me back to Smyle's first industry.

True story...When I was about 10 or 11 years old, my dream was to one day become a Lawyer maybe even a judge. In school, I learned about Thurgood Marshall, who was the first African American justice of the US Supreme Court. I thought to myself, I could do that too.

While researching how to become a lawyer, I found out I needed about 8-12 yrs of school after high school. Needless to say, I decided that becoming a lawyer was not for me.

Sometime after that, my cousin Greg taught me how to fry an egg and I fell in love with cooking. In 1999, when I was 15, with the help of my mom, Smyle's Caterers was born. After about 2 years of cooking for others, I decided not to pursue becoming an Executive Chef. Also, the hospitality classes were pretty boring.

I still had another career during this time as a Nursing Assistant but let's fast forward to 2012. My mother was enrolling at the Cleveland Institute of Medical Massage and asked me to take the course with her.

Reluctantly, I decided to give it a shot. I went to the Day classes and the Evening classes were for her.

Guess what!? I fell in love with Massage, a holistic way to assist the body in returning to its "natural symmetry of inner peace".

The Anatomy and Physiology class severely kicked my butt. But I had found my true passion. No giving up. In May of 2013, I graduated school. In August of 2013, I received my license. In December of 2013, Smyle's Touch was born.

My first job was providing chair massages for an Employee Holiday Luncheon at Baldwin Wallace University. There were six therapists including myself. We did about over 60 sessions in about 90 minutes.

Throughout the years, I've collaborated with DFAS (3 yrs), The Ronald McDonald House (5 yrs), Baldwin Wallace University (10 yrs), American Greetings (11+ yrs), and many others.

In 2022, I found a small studio in Mentor, OH to start building a physical practice. I still travel to clients and businesses on a weekly basis across Northeast Ohio and beyond.

Now it's 2026; 12+ years later, I still love what I do, assisting others in feeling better - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Remember your roots.

Reflect on your beginnings.

Realize how far you come and all that you've accomplished.

If you still love what you do, keep going!!

Have you ever wondered...what it would feel like receiving a massage on Christmas Day?

Prior to opening my massage studio, I worked in a nursing home as a nursing assistant for over 11 years. I usually worked all the holidays, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas, so that other workers could be home with their families.

During these days, I realized not everyone celebrated. For some their family lived far away, or they just celebrated with a small dinner, or it was just another day for them, and many other reasons.

For myself, while these days have special meanings, it's also another day to help out, to support others, and offer what I love to do!

So this year, Smyle's Touch will be open normal hours on Christmas Day. (also Christmas Eve)

Massage is a great gift to yourself any day of the year, but would it feel extra special on Christmas?

Only one way to find out!!!

Visit smylestouch.com to schedule.

And of course, my holiday special still applies...you may even receive another gift.

What ever you decide, I hope you have a blessed and joyous week full of gratitude!

Review:

Edmund was amazing. Extremely professional and made me feel very relaxed. I have been having massages for 30+ years. His technique was the best I have ever had. I will 100% be going back.

Relaxing Chair Massage for Hospice employees.

07/18/2025

On a recent trip to Jamaica, I gave my aunt (60s) her 1st ever massage. I started on her neck and shoulders while she was sitting up.

I wished that I had a massage table so she could lay down for a full session, so we improvised!

She said she slept through the night and her knees didn't bother her for about 3 days after; even then it was much less than before.

Massage can literally be done anywhere.
