Junko Agena, Massage Therapist

Born and raised in Japan, she has undergone extensive training in the great state of Texas where she acquired her Massage license. And now she moved here to Meridian where she is delighting her massage therapy clientele. Of course, training and licensing doesn’t mean anything if you don’t have that “healing touch” and caring hands to match. Well, I can tell you wholeheartedly that she has all of the above.

Tea Bruderer, Massage Therapist

Tea Bruderer, Massage Therapist

Tea attended The Milan Institute of Allied Health. She enjoys doing different types of massage, for instance: Swedish (relaxation) massage, deep tissue, and also likes to incorporate passive joint movements/stretches into her sessions. The favorite part of her job is to strategically figure out which muscles are contributing to pain, working them out, and then gradually contributing to her client’s recovery and success.
