Our Team

I've been a Licensed Massage Therapist since June 2015. 

Before my career, I primarily worked in the mental health field; a women's inpatient detox for drugs/alcohol treatment, a group home for adults with mental illness, and a group home for girls 12-18 in state custody. In noticing there that physical pain can exacerbate mental health related symptoms, it led me to enjoy working with clients who experience chronic pain, complicated conditions and/or auto immune disorders. 

Since completing the initial 650-hour program at Pennsylvania Institute of Massage Therapy in order to obtain my professional licensure, I have pursued an additional 125+ hours in medical massage training throughout my 8-year career thus far. While I specialize in Clinical Massage Therapy, but I am also proficient in Swedish, Prenatal, Deep Tissue, Cupping, and Muscle Scraping. I will often times use Active Isolated Stretching, Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy, Neuromuscular Therapy, Heat Therapy and Aromatherapy in sessions as well.

In 2018, my husband Robert and I opened Greenleaf Soft Tissue Therapy in Bangor, Pennsylvania to help as many of our neighbors as possible out of pain. After 4 1/2 successful years there and other talented LMT's having joined our team, we felt led to relocate our family to the Bible Belt in the Ozarks plateau and so in January 2022 we moved to Central Missouri.

While I had initially taken a step back from performing massage therapy sessions in order to focus on managing our business from afar, we both very much missed the opportunity to make meaningful connections with clients and to provide the catalyst for healing in those with muscle and joint tension. Thus, we opened Olive Branch Clinical Massage Therapy in May 2022 in order to serve our neighbors in this community as well.  

Thank you for choosing us for your massage therapy needs.

My name is Robert, but most people call me Bobby. I've been a Licensed Massage Therapist since June 2016 and graduated from Lansdale School of Business' 600-hour Massage Therapy program. There we studied a variety of massage modalities with a focus on clinical applications aimed towards stress and pain relief. It was during this time that I also found my passion for botanical oils and herbs with a role in the healing process. In January of 2013, I was involved in a hit and run motor vehicle accident, while riding my bicycle home from work that evening. This traumatic event has caused me immense pain, both physically and mentally. I was in a real rut when my wonderful wife, Marissa, began to attend massage school. After her first few demonstrations and practices on myself, I knew what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, alongside her. I believe that it's this personal connection with a traumatic injury that helps to feed my intuitive abilities in bodywork. I look forward to working with you.
