Whitney has been a dedicated and trusted massage therapist in Knoxville since 2017 and a certified restorative yoga instructor since 2023. She was initially drawn to massage therapy as a natural way to support her own nervous system and quickly experienced the deep benefits of compassionate, intentional touch—not only for relaxation, but for reconnecting with the body and fostering a more balanced state of being.
Over the years, Whitney has developed a deeply therapeutic style of massage that blends Swedish-inspired techniques with slower, intuitive pacing, barefoot massage for deeper, broader pressure, and cupping to support circulation and release muscular tension. Overhead bars in her treatment space allow her to safely and skillfully offer barefoot massage, creating a grounded experience that meets tension without force.
Earlier in her career, Whitney specialized in Grief Massage. For eight years, she supported clients navigating loss and created a continuing education course to teach other massage therapists how to approach grief with gentleness and skill. While she no longer offers grief-specific sessions, her years of grief tending continue to inform her presence and the care she provides to each client.
Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Whitney remains committed to providing thoughtful, client-centered care. She is honored to continue serving the Knoxville community with skill, intention, and warmth.
