Registered Massage Therapist

Jody Faulkner

Jody Faulkner, Registered Massage Therapist, RAPID Neurofascial Reset Specialist Jody is a Registered Massage Therapist with a passion for helping people move more comfortably, reduce pain and tension, and get back to the activities that matter to them. Her approach is therapeutic, individualized, and grounded in the understanding that no two bodies—or treatments—should be exactly the same.

She has a particular interest in working with neck, shoulder and back pain, chronic or recurring pain, headaches and jaw tension, restricted movement, overuse and sports-related concerns, and the everyday aches and tension that can build up from work, stress and busy lives.

Jody draws from a wide range of techniques and adapts each treatment to the needs and comfort of the person on the table. Her training includes therapeutic massage, RAPID NeuroFascial Reset, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, neuromuscular cupping, assisted stretching, Thai massage techniques, myoskeletal alignment techniques, TMJ treatment, and targeted use of heat and hot stones. She is also trained in prenatal and postnatal massage.

Jody enjoys looking at the bigger picture rather than simply treating the area that hurts. She incorporates assessment and movement into her treatments when appropriate and works collaboratively with clients to identify patterns that may be contributing to their symptoms. Her goal is not only to help clients feel better after a massage, but to help them understand their bodies and make meaningful progress over time.

Her style can range from focused clinical work to a more flowing full-body treatment, depending on what each client needs that day. Jody believes effective therapeutic massage does not have to follow a one-size-fits-all formula and enjoys combining techniques to create treatments that are both purposeful and deeply restorative.

Outside of massage therapy, movement has always been a big part of Jody’s life. She has an extensive background in modern and contemporary dance and choreography and is also a hypnotherapist and conscious dance facilitator. Her interest in movement, the nervous system and the mind-body connection continues to influence the way she approaches her work.

When she isn’t treating clients, Jody enjoys spending time with her husband and four children, getting outside for walks with her dog, dancing, and continuing to learn—whether through a new course, treatment approach or another deep dive into how the human body works.
