Dianna Vernon
Dianna started her profession as a Licensed Massage Therapist / Bodyworker in 1990 after graduating from the Venice School of Massage in Florida. Being interested in relieving chronic and acute pain she studied several advanced modalities; Neuromuscular, Orthopedic, Myofascial, Postural Alignment, Cranial Sacral, Cranial Fascial, and Neural Reset Therapy along with Training in the Aaron Mattes Assisted Stretch program, and Kinesio Taping. She added Cupping and Gua Sha as enhancements and recently started offering Ayurvedic therapies; Abhyanyga, and Shirodhara for the immense neurological benefits of her clients.
While in Florida, Dianna owned and developed Englewood Massage Therapy; Center for Pain Relief, where she networked with a variety of doctors working on their patients to facilitate relief of pain and postural corrections. In 2000 she moved to Texas where she opened a solo practice in the Ft. Worth area where she had the opportunity to work with professional and Olympic athletes. Another move in 2015 brought her to East Texas where she opened a healing center incorporating all the bodywork skills as well as Colon Hydrotherapy.
Her passion has always been to see people whole and well, and her love for this work continues to grow as she has witnessed her clients regain mobility, flexibility and function. Bodywork is her calling as a healer, and it truly feeds her soul.
Jenn Blakely
How can I assist you today? My name is Jennifer Blakely. As a licensed massage therapist for more than 16 years, I am of firm belief that the learning never stops and you can learn something from even the most novice. In life I’ve had a wide range of leadership roles and found servant leadership is the most beneficial to all parties. I have been a member of AMTA for most of my career. I did have a little break and obviously came back for good reasons! I’m excited to now be a volunteer for the community!
I practice in Paris, Texas and I’m passionate about integrated neuromuscular therapies.
On the personal side of life, I have 6 children, 4 grown and 2 I’m still raising. In recent years I have moved to the country to live on a small bit of land and begin what is called modern homesteading. I have absolutely fallen in love with my chickens.
