Hello, I'm Amy, a licensed massage therapist in Somers Point, New Jersey. 

​

I specialize in trauma-informed massage therapy for chronic pain management, and there is nothing I love more than helping people to heal and relax in a nurturing and accepting environment.

​

As someone who has been through their own healing journey, nothing makes me more happy than helping folks along theirs. I moved to South Jersey in 2018 after going through a treatment center and getting sober. Recovery is a huge part of my life and my story and it very much influences my career and my approach as a massage therapist.

 

It was in treatment where I first experienced massage therapy and truly realized its effectiveness as a pain management tool. I strive to bring the same relief that I experienced through massage to others in my community. Massage can help those experiencing discomfort to find ease, can help a person who is restless to relax, and can help someone who feels frightened and alone to feel connected, grounded, and safe.

​

In addition to working with those living with chronic pain, I also work a lot with folks in recovery from addiction. When I'm not at Hello Wellness, I'm at a local treatment center offering massage therapy to the patients there as an alternate form of pain management. I cannot adequately express the gratitude that I feel being able to help people who's hurt I've felt and shoes I've been in. 

​

Through a trauma-informed framework, my goal is to customize every session to each individual without compromising comfort or personal boundaries. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and welcome bodies of all types into my space.
