Jodie Hughes, LMT
Director and Head Massage Therapist
A 2019 graduate of the Marquette School of Therapeutic Massage, Jodie returned to school twenty years after receiving her B.A. in Political Science. After moving to the U.P. seven years ago with her husband and four children, she fell in love with the greenest earth and bluest skies she'd ever seen. As an amateur photographer, she tried to capture that essence and pass that serenity to others through her photographs and Earth & Sky Photography.
Six years later, after nursing her teenage son through brain cancer, she wanted to do something to provide people with comfort, relaxation, and relief. She spent a year studying and becoming licensed in massage therapy to do just that. Using Traditional Swedish massage techniques, she can help you relax, rejuvenate, and heal tired and sore muscles. She does a variety of modalities including focused deep tissue, sports massage, or basic relaxation. She also does our cupping therapy, hot stones, and all of our hand and foot therapies.
