Tessa Whisenant

Hi, I’m Tessa, a Licensed Massage Therapist with over 10 years of experience and a background in healthcare as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). My work is rooted in understanding the body as an interconnected system and meeting each client with care, curiosity, and intention.As a Neuromuscular Therapist, I specialize in pain management, muscle dysfunction, and identifying the root causes of symptoms rather than simply treating areas of discomfort. I focus on assessment, pattern recognition, and creating customized sessions that support improved movement, relief, and long-term change.My approach blends clinical bodywork with holistic perspectives, addressing the body, nervous system, and stress patterns together. I have a strong interest in muscle pathology and referral patterns, integrative pain management, and supportive wellness practices such as herbs. I also value astrology as a tool for understanding cycles, stress responses, and the mind–body connection, allowing me to work beyond surface-level pain.I work with a diverse range of clients, including children, seniors, athletes, hard workers, and those managing chronic pain, and incorporate techniques such as neuromuscular and trigger point therapy, Shiatsu and Hua Tuo points, Thai-inspired stretching, breathwork, and integrative massage techniques.Massage therapy is more than work to me — it’s a calling. I believe healing happens when the body is listened to, respected, and worked with thoughtfully and intentionally.
