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.

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.

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.

Audrey Goodrum, LMT NVMT 8577I’m truly honored to welcome you into my massage space. I’m a board-certified massage therapist with 14 years of experience, and much of my background comes from working in some of the country’s most prestigious luxury spas.

Over the years, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for how therapeutic touch can restore not only the body, but also the mind and spirit. I approach each session with intention, care, and a personalized focus whether you’re here for deep relaxation, pain relief, or simply a moment to breathe. It’s incredibly important to me that my clients feel seen, safe, and supported. Massage isn’t just what I do, it's something I deeply believe in. I’m passionate about creating a truly client-centered experience, and I take time to actively listen to your needs and preferences. I look forward to meeting you and being a part of your wellness journey. Curious about what a Craniosacral Treatment feels like? Book with Audrey to experience this wonderful treatment. She excels in creating an experience to help with stress management. |

Marisa Espinoza, LMT NVMT 13112
From a young age, I was drawn to the world of healing. Childhood health challenges took me on a journey through doctors’ offices and physical therapy sessions, where I began to develop a passion for the transformative power of touch. At just 12 years old, I experienced the profound impact of massage during a physical therapy session—it wasn’t just about physical recovery; it was a doorway to relaxation, connection, and a sense of well-being that resonated deeply within me. Inspired, I found my first massage book and began practicing on anyone willing to receive it. I was captivated by how touch could ease pain, shift moods, and create an almost instant sense of peace.
After graduating college, I followed my calling and enrolled in massage school in 2010 at the Pacific Center for Awareness and Bodywork in Kauai, Hawaii setting out on a lifelong journey to learn and integrate a range of healing arts. Since then, I’ve deepened my practice with the study of herbalism, yoga, meditation, Mayan Abdominal Therapy, and Reiki. As a Karuna Holy Fire® Reiki Master Teacher, I weave this powerful energy into each of my sessions, creating a nurturing and intuitive healing experience that honors the mind, body, and spirit.
My approach is gentle yet profound, offering a space for true relaxation, renewal, and transformation.
I am honored to hold space for your healing journey and look forward to connecting with you. ✨
