Rose Johenson

Remedial Massage Therapist

Healing runs in my family — it was my grandmother's practices that first drew me to massage. With over 25 years of hands-on experience across my own business and clinical settings, I bring deep skill and genuine care to every treatment.

I'm a Remedial Massage Therapist trained in Deep Tissue and Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Cupping, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Pregnancy Massage, Hot Stone Therapy and Reflexology, and I've helped many clients recover from accidents, surgery and sports injuries. Every session starts with a conversation about your history and goals, and I tailor the treatment to you in a calm, caring environment.
