Arieanna
Not currently accepting clients
Hot Stones, Deep Tissue, Therapeutic, Trigger Point, Sports Massage
Arieanna’s path to massage therapy began with a deep desire for personal renewal and a more meaningful connection to others. When she first experienced massage during her training at Wellspring School of Allied Health it awakened something profound. She realized how much tension and pain she had been carrying, not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. That moment sparked a transformation.
As she continued her studies and began practicing massage regularly, Arieanna discovered the true power of touch: its ability to help people release pain, reconnect with their bodies, and feel safe in their own skin. Her philosophy is rooted in empathy and shared humanity. “We all come to the table to let something go, and it usually shows up as tension or pain”
Arieanna brings a grounded, intuitive presence to every session. She believes healing starts with acceptance and a belief that we’re all human, and simply showing up is a powerful act of self-care. Her goal is to help clients feel seen, supported, and reminded that they’re doing just fine.
She’s currently expanding her practice to include energy work like Reiki and lymphatic drainage, deepening her ability to support holistic wellness. Outside of massage, Arieanna is a creative soul who loves drawing and gaming with her two oldest boys. She encourages them to stay curious, inventive, and open-minded, and brings this same mentality to her practice.
Whether she’s working with a client or nurturing her family, Arieanna leads with compassion, strength, and a belief that healing is always possible.
