Meet Jana
Licensed Massage Therapist | Herbalist
Having been raised among the slow-moving rivers and cypress swamps of Mississippi, I weave those roots into my massage practice. I like to think that my massage flows like a river - never ceasing movement, eddying around joints and problem areas to aid in unblocking adhesions to allow the body to fall back into a smoother rhythm.
I graduated from Asheville’s School of Massage and Yoga in 2017 where I learned modalities such as Swedish, Deep Tissue, Myofascial Release, Ayurvedic Energy Work, and Sports Massage. After graduation, I set sights on Northern California where I had the opportunity to have a private massage practice. In those lush hills, I began to dive deeper into herbal medicine which led me here to Colorado where I am furthering my studies in Western Herbalism, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Astrological Herbalism.
