In recent years, the value of self-care has become more understood and accepted in our society. Whether you seek relaxation, pain management, or relief from injury, massage therapy is a worthy component to any self-care regimen. The amount of stress held in the physical body is often surprising to many clients, as is the relief a 60 or 90 minute session can bring!

I was born and raised in Birmingham and my husband and I are happy to now be raising our three kids here. After having my first child, I knew that I wanted a career that offered flexibility. I also desired something more fulfilling than my previous office environment. This thinking led me down the path to become a massage therapist. I graduated from the Birmingham School of Massage in 2015 where I became certified in Swedish and Deep Tissue massage, as well as Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT), which works with trigger points. In addition to those techniques, I offer Hot Stone and Pre-Natal/Post-Natal massage. Headache relief through massage is something I’m very passionate about and have seen positive results from in my clients and personally.

I love working to help my clients find an overall sense of wellbeing in body and mind. Consider taking time to care for yourself- you and your loved ones will reap the benefits!

Born and raised in Birmingham I have been a massage therapist for 7 years. I attended Virginia College for my Massage Therapy degree. I would like to think that I use an integrative approach using all modalities from Swedish, Deep Tissue, trigger point therapy, myofascial therapy, hot stones, prenatal, and TMJD as well.

I love to help people who suffer from fibromyalgia, chronic low back pain, sciatica, and insomnia. Migraines, headaches, and shoulder tension are usually associated with TMJ disfunction. I am currently certified in TMJ Disfunction under Dee Vickers. This is a highly sought after modality.

I strive to make each session on my table meaningful and a guide towards peace, balance, and relaxation.

Jane Gleissner

My name is Jane and I have lived in Birmingham all my life. The richness and diversity of Birmingham has shaped my life and inspired in me a deep desire to serve our community, to enrich the lives of our people, and to bring comfort to those in need.

I have a background in yoga– in 2009, I was certified through a 200-hour yoga instructor training program in Nosara, Costa Rica. I learned the value and importance and have adopted the practice of healing the body through a holistic approach. We are whole persons and caring for ourselves and one another is most effective when approached from a holistic understanding of the human person.

I’m also an artist. I graduated from Birmingham-Southern College in 2017 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and subsequently worked as a freelance artist in Birmingham. While pursuing a career as a freelance artist, my lifelong desire to help others continued to grow and I felt a deeper urge to pursue that passion. I decided to focus that desire on the healing arts and enrolled in the Birmingham School of Massage. I graduated from Birmingham School of Massage in August of 2022. A lifelong student, I am dedicated to learning and continuing to develop my skills to better help my clients. In January of 2023, I became certified in the treatment of Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction or TMJ. I use a variety of techniques to cater to clients’ individual needs, including Swedish Massage, Neuromuscular Massage Therapy, Hot Stones, Deep Tissue, and TMJ Massage. It’s a joy and privilege to bring relief to and facilitate the healing process of my clients and hope that I may serve you in this way!

I have worked in the medical field since 2001. My first job was in a hospital and that’s where I learn to assist people in their healing journey. After 14 years of working I decided to go back to school. I was working at Encompass Health and choose to apply to Occupational Therapy Assistant program. After receiving my letter of rejection I was devastated, but I immediately applied to Massage Therapy and was accepted. That’s where it all changed for me. Since graduation I have continued my education, with completion of Raindrop and Psoas Major release certification. I also offer Swedish, Deep Tissue, Hot Stones, and Fascia Blasting. The passion I have for massage shows through my work. I believe the body is a healing machine and can be facilitated through massage. I strive to share my knowledge of massage with everyone I meet.

Niya Cammack

As a young child I always had the passion to care for others,dance and fitness. As soon as I graduated high school I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to providing care for others. During my Freshman year of college I had my mind set on becoming a PTA, but life had a different plan for me.While taking summer classes at Wallace State CC, I was introduced to their massage therapy program, I applied and got accepted to start in the Fall. While in the program my passion grew as well as my knowledge of Swedish and Deep Tissue technique and how amazing the human body works. After graduating in 2013 I continued feeding my knowledge with CEUs and attending every massage convention that offered a variety of modalities: Thai Yoga, Chinese Fire cupping, Geriatrics, Precision Neuromuscular Therapy, Osteoarthritis, TMJ/ Headache and Migraine.

My passion for care didn’t stop there, I completed training and became a licensed EMT Basic in 2015 with Jefferson State CC EMS program. During my time in that program I danced with UAB Marching Blazers as a Blazerette. Being a dancer for over 15 years has truly enhanced my ability to understand the human body from an athletic standpoint as well. Being a caregiver and massage therapist has introduced me to so many amazing things that allows me to be a better dance coach, fitness instructor and provide excellent care to my clients as well as a long lasting bond.

Reed Parks

Hello my name is Reed. I have been practicing Massage Therapy since graduating in March 2022 from Birmingham School of Massage.

I believe that massage should not simply be a luxury but should be for everyone in need of relaxation and relief. I believe Massage Therapy is an excellent alternative health option and should be specialized for each client that I work with.

I am well-versed in Relaxation Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Prenatal Massage, Lymphatic Drainage Massage, Hot Stone Massage, and Neuromuscular Massage.

Velma Mason

I graduated from Birmingham School of Massage. My favorite type of massage is Swedish Relaxation, because I know the importance of prioritizing self care. I have two small children and understand just how easy it is to put work and others needs before your own. However, I have found great mind, body, and spiritual relief through means of self care. When I’m not massaging I like to stay busy. I have many passions that include doing hair, traveling the world with my children, hitting a trail with my road bike, spending time in nature or on a beach, and occasionally listening to true crime podcast.
