Tina Martinson, owner and massage therapist
I have been touching people's lives for over 25 years. I would say my specialty is giving therapeutic massage. Whether it's helping a client rehab a knee replacement, relieving neck and shoulder tension, or loosening over worked muscles, it is so rewarding to be able to give someone relief from what ails them. That is why I have been giving massages for all these years! Family is very important to me. My parents have owned C's Restaurant and Bakery for more than 35 years and I have very much been apart of that. I have met some really great people over the years. In my free time, I love taking hot yoga classes and curling up in a blanket with a good book. That is my relaxation! I am taking new clients by referral only and do not have my schedule available online.
Mary Goonan: has been a massage therapist for over 18 years. She customizes the massage to the client's need specializing in sport massage, stress relief and therapeutic massage. She also does some myo-facial release and cranial-sacral work. My schedule is not available for online booking.
Dani Peterson: I am a State Licensed and Nationaly Board Certified massage therapist, graduating from Tibia School of Massage and Bodywork in 2009. I have experience in many modalities, and I am a Certified Second Degree Reiki Practitioner. I incorporate various modalities in every session to suit the client I am working with. Sessions can include a range of outcomes from relaxation, to therapeutic, and inury relief. My primary focus is to work with clients to find a solution to their personal massage needs. I am a full time mom of two children and four cats. In my free time, I enjoy having fun with my family and friends. When I'm not with them, I am in the yoga or TRX studio. I schedule all of my appointments and take new clients by referral only.

Geneva Caraway: I am a graduate of the Therapeutic Massage program at Madison Area Technical College. I am skilled in Swedish massage, deep tissue and trigger point therapy, and am able to work with pregnant and geriatric clients as well as athletes. I can give a great relaxation massage, but especially love delivering therapeutic work to neck, shoulder and back areas as well as feet. My own experiences have given me empathy and compassion for others in both acute and chronic pain. I approach each session based on the person's individudal needs and do so with intention and curiosity. I feel that I have found my calling as a massage therapist and am passionate about my work. When I’m not giving massage, I am exercising my creativity through my culinary passion in the kitchen or spending time outdoors. I believe that the kinder you are to yourself, the kinder the world feels. I schedule all of my appointments and take new clients by referral only.

My focused relaxation massages are customized to help you feel more centered, balanced, and able to heal. My approach integrates a combination of Swedish massage, acupressure, and energy work.

Yvonne Gass: I graduated from Ashmead College as a massage therapist in 2007 and enjoyed working for a chiropractor for six years helping patients recover from auto accidents and occupational injuries. It was rewarding work, but life happens and I took some years off. I'm now a licensed therapist in WI with a certification from East-West Healing Arts Institute.
I feel very deeply for people in pain and have an innate desire to help them. My recent East-West Healing Arts Institute experience has been an exciting refresher into a long held passion for healing. I'm looking forward to once again helping people resolve pain and feel like they can function normally.
My primary focus is on treatment massage for relief of musculoskeletal pain. So many people have aches and pains that detract and distract from their lives and my priority is getting them back to something better. My goal is to have a client centered practice with individualized treatment plans for each client, based on their needs.
Tamisha Tamatode: Hello! I'm honored to be part of your healing journey! My passion for massage therapy began after facing personal health challenges, and discovering the power of holistic healing. This experience inspired me to combine Eastern and Western techniques to address root causes, not just symptoms. With over 11 years of experience in Swedish, deep tissue, acupressure, and Tui Na, I create customized sessions that relieve tension and promote lasting well-being.
In addition to therapeutic massage, I specialize in fire cupping and assisted stretching, which are powerful tools to release muscle tension, improve flexibility, and enhance circulation. These techniques complement my massage work to provide a truly restorative experience tailored to your needs.
