BETH V.
Licensed Massage Therapist
Intuitional Bodyworker, Deep Tissue, Sports, Therapeutic, Neuromuscular
“I have always felt like I was a “Healer” and the body has always been a huge interest to me ever since I was a little girl. I always thought I’d be a doctor but when the time came to decided on a college to go to it never felt right. I choose to go to a trade school just to do something…and ended up falling in love with massage therapy. I honestly can not imagine doing anything else with my life. ”

JACK B.
Licensed Massage Therapist
Therapeutic Massage, Prenatal Massage
Jack was born and raised here in beautiful Northern Michigan. His three biggest loves in life are being outdoors, gardening, and his daughter.
It was his daughter who brought him to pursue massage therapy as a career. Despite her being disabled, the daily combination of physical therapy, massage therapy, and intentional touch have allowed her to thrive. He wants to be able to bring these same healing aspects of touch to others.
Jack graduated from Mind Body Institute in Traverse City, Michigan and has taken additional schooling in prenatal and pediatric massage. He has a thirst for knowledge and enjoys learning about integrating new techniques with the human body’s natural ability to heal itself.
“When I really saw how much massage helped my daughter’s spastic muscles, I knew that I wanted to learn more and to be able to help others, as well. I saw how truly important bodywork is for everyone, not just a select few. All of our bodies are unique and each person needs a slightly different approach to bodywork in order to reach their optimal balance. I want to be able to provide that with different integrative modalities in a safe and respectful environment, no matter your age, gender, or where you are on your journey in this adventure that we call life.”
