Kearney graduated from the National Institute of Massotherapy in 2007 and has been changing lives in the field of Massage Therapy ever since. Before Bodhi Tree she worked in both clinical and spa settings. She prides herself on the ability to treat each client individually according to their specific goals and customizes her treatments to target the areas of concern.

She is passionate about helping clients who have been unsuccessful in finding relief through various other treatment methods, those currently in pain management and the vast majority of our society dealing with chronic muscular pain and fatigue. 

Science in our field is ever changing and she is dedicated to staying up to date on all things massage therapy related, educating clients on the different modalities she uses during her sessions and why each is helpful in its own way. 

Her goal is for everyone to leave her treatments feeling better physically and spiritually, plus you’ll smell fantastic because she loves to incorporate a variety of essential oils into each session. 

After 18 years practicing she is still enthusiastic about each and every massage she gives and is humbled by the opportunity to help and heal others through her intuitive approach. Mind, body and soul are all connected and she looks forward to talking with you about how Massage Therapy can be a solution for dealing with pain, chronic stress and anxiety.

Marissa (fully vaccinated) graduated from Tri-C's massage therapy program in 2016 shortly after getting her bachelor's degree in strategic communication from The Ohio State University. Her belief in mind-body wellness guides her practice and her mission is to bring that to clients through her massage. Marissa uses a fusion of long, sweeping lomilomi style forearm strokes, which feel like waves rolling along the body, and myofascial release and trigger point therapy. This mixture of techniques is perfect for the client who loves a deep massage, but does not want it to be painful or uncomfortable. Her ultimate goal is for everyone she has the honor of massaging to leave their appointment feeling relaxed, renewed and at peace.

Along with Swedish and deep tissue massage, Marissa especially loves to work on mamas-to-be with prenatal massage, and she plans on adding more of Bodhi Tree's services in the future.

Natasha graduated from the Northcoast Medical Training Academy in Kent, OH in 2021. She promptly became licensed as a Massage Therapist by the State Medical Board of Ohio, and was promptly hired at Bodhi Tree based on her superb intuitive style of massage.

Having spent over a decade in an entirely different career, Natasha is often asked why she chose to pursue a career in therapeutic massage, and her confident answer is that she truly feels it is a path that chose her. This type of work is a calling for many of us who practice it, and Natasha is no exception to that. Her passion for helping people heal is evident in her sessions.

Natasha has learned a lot thus far on her journey regarding her intuition as a bodyworker and the depth of profound healing that can happen with massage, far deeper than muscle tension and knots. She strives with every client and every session to create an open, relaxing space and bring her clients peace and needed release.

Natasha offers Swedish, Deep Tissue, Prenatal and Hot Stone Massage sessions as well as Shirodhara and Ayurvedic Head Massage having completed the Ayurvedic training for Bodhi Tree through Wild Earth Ayurveda (formerly Green Lotus Ayurveda) of Columbus, OH. She has built a following of regular clients at Bodhi Tree and is always happy to welcome clients new to Bodhi Tree or new to massage.

Lydia previously trained as a yoga teacher and currently offers several weekly classes including restorative, vinyasa, ashtanga and yin(yang) yoga. She also previously trained as an equine sports massage therapist at Equissage in Round Hill, VA.

Lydia offers a very therapeutic session, working intuitively, with how the muscles feel under her hands and with her strong knowledge of anatomy and physiology to help the body on her table release tension, increase range of motion where limited and overall feel much better (lighter, freer, - much improved!)

Lydia offers Swedish, Deep Tissue, Shirodhara and Ayurvedic Head Massage sessions and would love to see you on the table at Bodhi Tree.

Katie has been a licensed massage therapist since 2015. She studied at the Cleveland Institute of Medical Massage and specializes in Swedish, Deep Tissue, Prenatal, Shirodhara, and Ayurvedic Head Massage. She believes in helping people heal from the inside out while creating a space where they can relax and reset. 

With a strong yet intuitive touch, she likes to focus on the neck, shoulders, and back, areas known to hold the most tension. Ayurvedic Head Massage is one of her favorite services to offer for its ability to calm and quiet the mind. Everyone carries their own stress, so she’s always mindful of how her touch can make a difference. Her main goal is for every client to feel cared for and walk out feeling a little lighter than when they came in. 

Katie’s passion for healing runs deep, so she’s expanding her knowledge to care for others in ways beyond massage therapy. No matter the setting, her focus is always on helping others feel their best.  

Outside of work, she loves spending time with her children, practicing yoga, and unwinding with a good TV show.
