VIDA KIRKLAND

An avid cyclist, hiker, and competitive rower, Jo pursued a career in massage therapy to learn about the human body and how to ease movement when injury, misalignment, or stress create imbalance and pain. Her active lifestyle and massage background have taught her how aging bodies can stay healthy, and she loves to pass this knowledge on to her patients.

Prior to becoming a massage therapist Jo spent over twenty years teaching elementary students, and the educator in her enjoys helping individuals understand her approach to each massage. Using knowledge of human anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology, she works with patients to plan sessions that will meet their personal goals.

Jo is trained in a variety of techniques, including Swedish, Neuromuscular, Myofascial Release, Deep Tissue, and Lymphatic Facilitation. She is also certified as a personal trainer and feels fortunate to connect with people on their health and wellness journeys. In her free time she loves spending time outdoors with her family, cooking, and reading.
