Featured Therapist Gregg Buchanan

How did you become interested in being a massage therapist?
1.) My interest in becoming a massage therapist was sparked when I received my first professional massage, when the therapist was finished; I knew I needed to learn the proper way to give a massage.

What was your first massage experience?
2.) It was a massage for two, the person I was with was helping me through a stressful move and once the massage began, I was hooked.

How would you describe your style of massage?
3.) My style of massage is basically a combination of different modalities and techniques concentrating on helping the client become as comfortable and relaxed as possible, and then addressing the specific soft tissue needs to be corrected.

When a perspective client comes to see you what can they expect?
4.) Clients can expect a very thorough massage with a firm yet healing touch. It is my goal to help my clients feel their best when they leave the office.

What is your favorite part of giving or receiving a massage?
5.) My favorite parts of giving a massage is one, seeing the look on the clients face when the massage is complete, and two, knowing that the massage I have designed for that individual client has helped them feel better.
