My journey into massage therapy began in the most personal way—through my own experience with chronic migraines caused by the stress of caring for a parent with Alzheimer’s. Weekly massages brought me relief I never expected, and I knew I had found my calling. After my father passed, I enrolled full-time at the Holistic Massage Training Institute in Maryland, eager to learn how to help others find that same peace and healing. Wellness and healing have always been close to my heart, and becoming a massage therapist felt like a natural extension of my passion for nurturing others. I named my practice Ivy Leigh Wellness in honor of my two amazing children—my daughter’s middle name is Ivy and my son’s is Leigh. They inspire me every day.
