Joelle Raffoul, LMT
I have always had the desire to help others in a way that can improve their long-term health and wellness. In 2012, I had the wonderful opportunity to begin the massage therapy program at Irene’s myomassology institute. Throughout the program, I not only learned how to give a massage, but I learned about the anatomy and health behind massage therapy. After a year of learning a plethora of information this program helped me strengthen my knowledge about the importance of massage and how it can positively impact someone’s life, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I specialize in sports therapy, massage, prenatal, massage, hot stone, massage, Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, cupping therapy, lymphatic drainage, and TMJ disorders I recently took continuing education classes and got certified for TMJ disorders and medical massage therapy! I absolutely love learning and applying all of my various techniques on each client I meet! I graduated in the fall of 2013 and passing massage therapy board exam. Becoming a licensed massage therapist with the best decision I have ever made because I’ve always had a strong passion for healing my clients and making them feel like brand new person! I have been practicing massage for 12 years now I am looking forward to continue improving overall health of both my current patients as well as my future patients! I look forward to meeting you!

Freddy Tripp, LMT
I graduated from Dorsey College and have been driven by a deep commitment to the well-being of others. I am a firm pressure massage with deep and soft tissue techniques. My passion for this career path stems from witnessing the health challenges faced by my parents. My father’s struggle with a frozen shoulder and hip replacement, along with my mother’s experience with diabetes and chronic discomfort, have profoundly influenced my desire to help others find relief and restore balance in their lives. I have developed an intuitive understanding of various muscle massage techniques and their therapeutic benefits. My mission is to create a soothing and supportive environment for my clients, allowing me to tailor each session to address their specific needs. It is a privilege to be part of your wellness journey.
