HEALTH AND FITNESS 8 COURTNEY K. PENNINGTON LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPIST & REIKI MASTER PRACTITIONER. PRACTICING SINCE 2011. HELPING PEOPLE HEAL THEMSELVES FROM THE INSIDE OUT THROUGH REIKI ENERGY WORK AND WITH POSITIVE TOUCH, THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE, USING MODES, SUCH AS MYO-FASCIAL RELEASE, SWEDISH, & THAI MASSAGE. Massage therapy changed my life in 2011. Having the ability to facilitate healing in another person is extremely gratifying for me. My intent is helping each person that comes to me, heal themselves. My services are focused around the client. When a person comes to me, I like to evaluate and approach each session based on what they are feeling or what they would like the focus or outcome of the massage to be. With that in mind, I listen to the muscle tissue, and build a plan for them individually. Building a relationship with a client is even better for me as a therapist because I really get to see the muscle tissue and structure transform. With regular bodywork, you really can become a whole new person. I love being a part of helping people heal and de-stress. I began practicing massage therapy in 2011; I have continued my education, staying certified, and licensed. During this expansion, I became a Reiki Practitioner in 2012 and a Reiki Master/Teacher in 2014. My life’s focus has been on Massage & Reiki, and building my practice. (Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.) My ultimate goal is to open a wellness center, granting me the ability to have a greater outreach, networking with other Therapist, Healers, & Health Care Professionals; promoting healing widespread, and encouraging others to heal themselves.
