About Me & My Hours

Joan found massage in the most unlikely of places: on a dairy farm in her home state of Georgia. The demanding physical requirements of working on the farm and caring for numerous animals of all different ages and sizes eventually led to a painful, debilitating, back injury. Dealing with chronic back pain on daily basis was excruciating, but massage made her feel udderly fantastic! Since it made such a difference in her life, she became dedicated to sharing massage with others.

At Pure Health Massage & Bodyworks, Joan puts into practice her belief that the benefits of massage extend far beyond pain relief, massage is also a wonderful tool for stress reduction. As the number one cause for physical and mental discomfort, stress takes a toll on every person, whether or not they spend their days on a farm.

To enhance relaxation, Joan begins by building a customized session for each client's individual needs. Since everyone is different, a cookie-cutter approach is never the right answer. It feels good to know that your time with Joan is meeting your exact needs on that day in that moment. In Joan's caring, safe space, your professional massage is more than a quick break from work or an indulgence. 

It's a precious opportunity for you to slow down, be cared for, and reconnect with your body. Besides Joan's passion for massage, she loves animals (especially her cat and dog), as well as going fishing and hiking. And since she values the importance of integrative health, she also finds relief from her chronic pain by participating in water aerobics, yoga, and receiving monthly chiropractic adjustments. Every choice Joan makes in her life is influenced by her desire to follow a healthy lifestyle, both so she can live to her highest potential and embody integrity.
