Katie Wilson, LMT
Katie’s goal as a massage therapist is to help others live without pain. To achieve this, she most often uses deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy and stretching to relieve pain and tension. She finds that many of her clients’ main sources of tension (and origins of pain) are in the neck, back and hips, so these get extra attention. Katie is a grounded realist, who loves the challenge of helping people find relief from chronic pain issues and experience relaxation in their stressful lives.

Aimee Futhey, LMT
Aimee is from Humboldt County, California. Her interest in massage started at age 7, when she began giving friends and family members massages and it became apparent that she had a real gift for massage. Aimee originally was interested in pursuing a career in nursing, but she realized that her true calling was more "hands-on." Her previous study of anatomy and physiology was very useful as she entered the massage program at Hocking College, graduating with an Associate of Technical Studies degree, and became a licensed massage therapist. Each client presents Aimee with different needs for the variety of modalities she uses. These include "pin and stretch", muscle energy technique, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, peripheral neuromuscular facilitation, passive and/or active range of motion, and static deep tissue work. When a client presents with a specific complaint, such as sciatic pain or shoulder limitation, she performs an assessment using a variety of musculoskeletal tests to ensure that each client receives the most appropriate therapy for the condition they are experiencing.
