Hello friend! My name is Amy. I am a Licensed Massage Therapist focused on assisting men and women with health and fitness goals.

I am a wife and mom to three kids. I enjoy playing piano and guitar in my free time. I am a CrossFit athlete/ trained coach and an amateur powerlifter/body builder. I enjoy staying active! I am very involved with my church, and I am involved in music ministry at a local prison.

I was always the girl in high school and college that would sit behind you and rub your shoulders. I feel like becoming a massage therapist has been about 15 years in the making… but here we are!

My journey to true health and wellness began in 2014 when my husband and I were starting to build our family. We began with changes in our home. Eating well. Exercise. Good sleep habits. Water intake. Essential oils and natural therapies. Chiropractic care. All of these things, in my mind, are ESSENTIAL. The desire to help others find their own path to wellness, led me to be trained in Raindrop Technique in 2016. For 5 years, the fire to become a massage therapist grew– to be able to have a great range of clients that I could help.

In early 2021, with our growing family complete, my dream of completing massage school finally came to fruition.

The longer I have been in practice, the more I have been able to truly hone in on my ideal client.

Essential Side LLC is a massage and bodywork solo practice, focused on helping active individuals with fitness and health goals. Perhaps you lift heavy weights and desperately need a deep tissue massage to work out all the kinks. Maybe you need a focused sports massage to work on a specific area of concern. Maybe you need specific modalities like trigger point therapy, cupping and gua sha scraping- but don’t want to be charged extra. (Hint: I will NEVER upcharge).

Wherever you are on your journey, I count it a privilege to come along side you to help in any way I can. I so look forward to hearing from you and learning how I can help to meet your individual needs!
