What initially introduced me to the world of massage was needing a massage myself. From sports injuries to a car accident, massage helped me get back on track. I endured the pain for a while, trying to tough it out, and soon realized it was not worth it. Pain is a hindrance that can become all-encompassing. You've let it go too far when it starts to wear on you mentally. The healing I experienced firsthand inspired me to want to reach out and do the same for others.

Studying at Cortiva Institute of Seattle (a Steiner educator), I trained under some of the most prestigious teachers in the greater Seattle area. Upon graduation, I started my career at a boutique spa. The plethora of knowledge and skills obtained by practicing under such a skilled therapist was a priceless experience and opened my eyes to creating my own unique style of massage.
After practicing for several years, I was ready for more tools in my therapy belt. That's where the wonderful world of medical massage comes in. This focuses on posture, pinpointing where the issue is coming from, and building a program based around that.
Most recently, I worked at a Forbes four-star establishment. The elegance and standard set the bar high for my private practice.

Catie/Cate Zecher, LMT, BSK, CYT NVMT 9912
My therapeutic wellness journey started while I studied theology in Germany when I was 18. After returning from 8 months in Europe, I received my Associates in Nutrition from TMCC in 2013, as well as receiving my Bachelors in Applied Kinesiology & Public Health from UNR in 2017. With a holistic passion for the human body, I received my credentials in massage & bodywork in 2019 and completed 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training during the pandemic shutdown.
I have experience with post surgical and non-surgical injuries in helping clients through their rehabilitation as well as holding certification in RockTape Kinesiology taping. I not only provide modalities such as Muscle Energy Technique, Myofascial Release, joint mobilizations and facilitated stretching, but I also offer an approach to bodywork that increases the client’s understanding in their own body and the way they carry themselves day to day, in every stage of life.
I am excited to emphasize the importance of Self in body awareness through building a powerful mind-body connection in your future massage.
Cate is a melting pot of amazingness. She balances in therapeutic modalities as well as relaxation into her sessions. If you've ever been curious of KT Taping, ask her if she thinks you'd benefit from adding it to your session!

Maggie Hart, LMT, CYT, NVMT 12239
I bring a unique blend of empathy, understanding, and professional expertise to my practice. With a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, I began my career working in mental health and grew my passion for alternative therapeutic modalities. Practicing yoga and receiving regular massages were the grounding forces that carried me through my career in mental health and into high-stakes account management, sales, and consulting. After over a decade working in fast-paced corporate environments, I decided to pursue a long-held dream of becoming a Massage Therapist and a Certified Yoga Teacher.

Jody Hunsberger, LMT, CYT, NVMT 11873
Dear friends and family. I have spent my lifetime exploring various healing modalities for the mind, body and spirit to integrate into a healing practice. Spending two decades as a behavioral psychologist, I have always been fascinated with language development, cognition, and developing behavioral flexibility. Over the past five years, this journey has taken a physical form of practice, integrating the breath, body and behavior.
My passion is to alleviate pain through fascial release, cupping, stretching and incorporating mindful breathing and meditation practices. Aromatherapies ability to cross the blood-brain barrier further deepens the experience along with a rhythmic flow for total body integration and harmony.
Looking forward to sharing this experience with you.
Jody is a wizard at her craft and has a dynamic approach to bodywork. We highly recommend adding cupping to your session with her!

Adrian Lopez, LMT, NVMT 9322
I began my career in massage therapy in 2018 because I wanted a profession that was health-focused, physical, and engaging—I knew sitting behind a desk day in and day out wasn’t for me. Massage gave me the opportunity to refocus on my future, and pursue meaningful work.
Working on a body is like having a conversation—the only way to do it is to listen, and listen well. This philosophy allows a therapeutic problem-solving approach while also creating a relaxing environment where people can truly unwind.
I tend to get the best results working on the hips, abdomen/viscera, and diaphragm/ribs, while reminding the body of the 3 dimensional relationship between the front and back of the body. Just because your back hurts doesn’t mean your back needs all the attention!
Prenatal massage is special to me because pregnant women deserve real care, driven my their needs. In my experience, many pregnant clients have expressed frustration by being treated like a “dainty flower” when what they really wanted was firm, effective pressure. Pregnant women know their bodies best, and it’s my priority to honor that so they feel truly listened to heard in their massage. Pregnant clients frequently recommend me to their friends, and I feel confident saying that my client first approach is the reason for this.
I don’t consider myself a healer. I see massage as a job to do and to do well. I take pride in improving my bodywork and setting an example of health and wellness, while not letting perfection be the enemy of the good.
Feedback from my clients has been overwhelmingly positive. During my time in the spa industry, I received the highest number of 5-star reviews, and despite working within the limitations of the spa industry I’ve been told many times that my massages are “the most healing” they have experienced.
Health and healing don’t need to be a grueling process or a lofty spiritual journey—it’s simply about taking care of ourselves in a way that gets results for our individual goals. My goal is to create a comfortable, enjoyable space where your body and mind can feel at ease.
Looking to experience a real shift in your body? Adrian's dynamic and comprehensive technique is designed to create lasting change, especially in areas of tension or restriction.

Shannon Roberts, LMT NVMT 12744
I’m originally from the east coast and now reside in Reno where I’ve found a supportive community of friends that became family. I studied massage therapy at Truckee Meadows Community College from 2023-2024. As a continuous learner, I’ve repeatedly been awed by the human body and its capabilities. I’m passionate about holistic approaches to healing and am honored to help others relax and feel better in their bodies.
In addition to Swedish massage, I’ve spent my time focusing on myofascial release, cupping, deep tissue, hot stone, sports massage, and joint mobilization. With my background and education in bodywork, I’m devoted to utilizing my skills to the best of my ability to provide an experience tailored to my clients’ individual needs. I am eager to continue learning and deepen my understanding of various bodywork modalities.
When not at work, I enjoy flipping around in the air as an aerial performer and instructor. My background as an acrobat and movement artist has deepened my understanding of the human body, as well as fueled my enthusiasm to continue learning. I also love to travel, dance, swim in any body of water, drink coffee, and snuggle with cats!
Shannon’s approach to bodywork offers a beautifully balanced, three-dimensional flow with steady, even pressure. You’ll leave her table feeling whole and fully aligned.

Nikki Kuntz, LMT NVMT 6309
My massage career began in 2013 after graduating from Nevada School of Massage
Therapy in Las Vegas. Over the next decade I explored various avenues of massage from chair massage in poker rooms, to sports and rehabilitation massage, and then finally settled into the luxury spa world. In early 2024 I decided it was time for a new adventure; I packed my bags, waved a dry crusty goodbye to Las Vegas, and moved to Reno.
I like to call my massage style firm yet flowy. I use fluid, swooping movements to
calm the central nervous system while still applying enough pressure to smooth out
muscle tension. I also love to incorporate tools like cupping for those particularly
stubborn areas. Overall, I think the world is a bit chaotic these days. My goal is to
balance out that chaos by bringing someone peace for an hour or two. Laughter is the
best medicine and there are few things in life that can’t be improved with a great
massage.
We’ve nicknamed Nikki’s massage style 'The Steamroller'—she delivers steady, deep pressure from start to finish, leaving you feeling thoroughly worked from head to toe.

Kami Greene, LMT, Reiki NVMT 13000
With a Dual Bachelor’s Degree in Business Accounting & Administration, I spent 14 years as an Accountant. The impact of such a demanding and high-stress career eventually took its toll. In 2019, I began experiencing health issues and was later diagnosed with Lupus and Lupus-induced Vestibular Migraines. Unable to balance the flare-ups and work stress, I was forced to prioritize what’s most important in life.
With the support of my husband and three babies, I made the decision to go back to school and redirect my career path. I fell in love with massage after experiencing the healing effects of its nature. During my program at TMCC, I received 5-star ratings as a massage therapist. I studied a vast array of modalities and gave my final report on migraine and chronic pain & stress tension therapy.
I later pursued continuing education through Yoga Body Elements and ABMP, gaining my Reiki Practitioner certification and expanding my knowledge of migraine, muscle dysfunction, and autoimmune disease symptom management. I am a strong advocate that stress is the biggest contributing factor to disease and illness.
I love combating these negative effects through the utilization of Swedish, deep tissue, and myofascial techniques, compression and pressure point therapy, passive release and muscle energy techniques, cupping, aromatherapy, stones, hydrotherapy, and Reiki.
As an empath, I am highly in tune with the emotions and energetic state of others. This strength allows me to intuitively perceive areas of tension or blockages in the body beyond just physical touch. I believe setting aside time to heal regularly is the answer, and I’m so excited to help you maintain your health and wellness, calm your mind, and heal your soul!
Kami provides a thoughtful, relaxing massage, intuitively responding to your body’s needs. She skillfully incorporates tools like cupping to enhance the overall experience.
