Keri

 

Hello, my name is Keri Sells.  I have been a licensed massage therapist since 2008, but my professional career started in 2005 when I graduated from the University of Florida with a BS in nursing.  I worked as a nurse for three years at a hospital in Gainesville, FL, but my passion for a more natural and preventative approach to healthcare drew me in a different direction.  In July 2008 I graduated from the Florida School of Massage.   My first job was in a spa where I specialized in deep tissue, Swedish massage and hot stone therapy.  I also started working in a Wellness Center where I increased my knowledge and experience in working with chronic pain and injury related issues.  Over the next three years, I had the pleasure of working in two very different settings, both helping to make me the therapist that I am today. 

In July 2011, my husband got a job here in Corvallis and we moved to start our new life in the PNW.  I opened my business in September of 2011 and it has been my pleasure to work with some of the most gifted and passionate therapists and an honor to work with some of the most amazing, health concious and down-to-earth clients of my career.  I love having the opportunity to meet new people everyday and help show them that self-care is not a luxury, it is a necessity to live the life that you want with comfort and ease.

Furthermore, while working in the hospital, I witnessed firsthand the detrimental effects stress, poor diet and lifestyle choices have on our health and quality of life.  So in 2022, to bridge the gap between nursing and massage, I completed a program with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition to become an Holistic Health Coach. I have always been fascinated by the body’s innate ability to heal itself, if given what it needs.  And I love to chat with my clients about ways we can support our health and wellness everyday.

Thank you for reading:)
