OUR MASSAGE THERAPISTS

Amber- ACMT, Owner and Founder of Able Bodies

While working as a personal trainer Amber found herself with an undeniable desire to further assist her clients with muscle recovery, flexibility, and pain associated with muscular imbalances, and postural issues. Massage Therapy was the solution, Amber attended the Minnesota School of Business and graduated with an Associates Degree in Massage Therapy. 

Over the years Amber has worked along side a chiropractor and as an independent contractor allowing her to gain experience with athletes, pregnant women, client's suffering from car accident injuries, muscle imbalances, poor posture, tendonitis, digestive issues, headaches, migraines, and many other conditions all challenging me, sculpting her into the therapist she is today. Amber has flourished as a massage therapist and with that comes a new chapter, Able Bodies Massage & Wellness. 

​At Able Bodies Massage & Wellness the client and therapist work together as a team to determine the cause of the client's complaints and will make a recommended treatment plan consisting of massage frequency, postural corrections, self-care exercises and more to help eliminate pain, decrease muscle tension & inflammation, correct muscle imbalances & poor posture and reach other health & wellness goals they may have.
