About Health Bound Massage & Wellness
Established in 2021, Health Bound Massage has been steadily growing for nearly four years. We prioritize client-specific needs, using skill and experience to create personalized sessions tailored to each individual. At HBL, we don’t believe in a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to massage therapy—because you’re not the same every time you visit.
Have you been painting the house? Just moved or helped someone relocate? Preparing for surgery or recovering from an injury? Life is full of physical challenges, so why should your massage be the same every time?
Massage therapy can be an essential part of your regular wellness routine. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, experienced massage therapist who truly listens and communicates, you’ve come to the right place. Whether you need deep tissue therapy, relaxation, or pain relief, Health Bound Massage is here to help—you might just wish you had found us sooner!

The moment I realized I could change people's lives, I was hooked. When I was younger I was like many people, I had no idea what I wanted to do. I tried so many things before Massage Therapy. I was a dental assistant, I studied yoga, and earned my B.S. in Geosciences. Upon graduation, I had been doing massage for almost a decade and by then, I had changed so many people's lives for the better. I started to realize that my skills were developing to above and beyond the average therapist. I realized I could not only continue to help the people of my community, but also the massage therapists and staff that I choose to hire. I am here to nurture my business of helping others so that my business can nurture clients and staff. I love helping people and I know I'm in the right place. I am going on over 16 years of practice in this field and it's my aim to create the best massage practice in Louisville.

I’m happy to be joining the Health Bound team! I love massage and helping people feel better. For the past two years I’ve been providing massage at Norton Audubon Hospital to patients receiving chemotherapy and their caregivers. My focus in full body massage is on trigger point therapy (targeted deep pressure) and myofascial techniques (releasing tension effectively with minimal pressure). My regular clients tell me they appreciate my ability to deliver moderate to deep pressure gently and without soreness - a relaxing massage that still “gets the knots out.” Looking forward to meeting you!
