Hi! I’m Johnie.

Johnie smiling, leaning against a yellow wall.

I really enjoy helping my clients change the way they feel.

Through massage therapy, I can help you relieve new or chronic pain, improve your body’s ability to move and function, and simply feel more refreshed, relaxed, and revitalized.

My Journey

I grew up in Iowa City and returned to the area in 2009.  (You may recognize me from working downtown, managing the Iowa Artisans Gallery until 2015.)

In 2015, I joined a close friend in co-managing Peaceful Nature Massage in Coralville.  We would frequently get massages from prospective employees, or support massage schools in the area by going to student massage clinics.  I always left those massages thinking “I’d like to do that, I can do that!” So when a new massage school opened in Coralville, I was eager to sign up. I studied massage therapy at Dancing Prairie Massage Therapy College, graduating in 2018, and have been an Iowa Licensed Massage Therapist ever since!

I have a wide range of experience in the world of massage therapy. I worked at Progressive Rehabilitation Associates Physical Therapy, helping people with injury recovery and chronic pain relief. I’ve worked with athletes of all levels, including Division 1 athletes at the University of Iowa. I have experience in bodywork for depression and anxiety, and for pre- and post-surgical support. I have worked with pregnant and postpartum clients, and those experiencing peri/post-menopause. I’m comfortable and experienced working with people of all ages: children to seniors.

If you’re committed to your own wellbeing, I would love to partner with you on your path!

“Working with Johnie through the years, she has consistently shown dedication, staying updated with advanced trainings while always tailoring each session to meet my specific needs. Johnie has helped me relax as well as guided me through chronic pain and medical follow-ups.

If you’re looking for someone who combines clinical expertise with a healing touch, look no further. I cannot recommend Johnie highly enough.”
