Our Story
Emily, a seasoned massage therapist with a decade of experience, embarked on her journey in the healing arts after graduating from the Pennsylvania Institute of Massage Therapy in 2013. Over the years, she has cultivated a distinctive therapeutic massage style, blending various modalities such as neuromuscular, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, Swedish and deep tissue massage, sports massage, cupping, passive release therapies, and targeted stretching techniques. Her commitment to individualized care is evident as she uses each of these techniques to tailor each session to meet the unique needs of her clients. Emily's profound understanding of the human body is a result of extensive research and continuous learning, fueled by her passion for honing her practice to maximize its effectiveness.
Driven by the desire to enhance the quality of life for those she serves, Emily founded Jazz Hands Therapeutic Massage in 2023. Her mission extends beyond relaxation, encompassing a dedication to addressing overuse injuries, improving range of motion, and creating positive, lasting impacts on her clients' well-being. In her personal pursuits, Emily is not only a dedicated massage therapist but also an avid reader, rock climber, and accomplished singer with a degree in Jazz Vocal Performance. Her love for travel is evident in her adventures, crisscrossing the United States in her converted Honda Pilot whenever the opportunity arises.

He brings intuition and grounding to each session, blending Thai massage principles and myofascial framing into his work to create an unique style across each client's experience.

Thomas comes to massage therapy after a decade of nonprofit sector work, serving the community in a broader fashion around energy poverty, workforce development, and environmental justice.

Intentional movement is core to how our bodies function best, and such movement is central to Tom's life: dancing on the ground, in the air, or around the massage table.
