Meet Our Talented Staff
Bridget Turnbach, NBCMT
Owner
Bridget graduated from University of North Carolina in 1996 with a BA in Geography. Her philosophy was, "I don't know what I want to do, but as long as I know how to get there I'll be all right." During a trip to Europe and her recovery from a bruised rib that almost cut her trip short, Bridget discovered the benefits of massage. Upon returning from her trip she enrolled in a 550 hour course at Garden State Center for Holistic Health Care, Lakewood, NJ. She graduated Garden State in 1998 under the supervision of her teacher and mentor Gloria Coppola.
"I was driven to massage therapy by the increased need to help others relax, reduce pain and manage stress more effectively." Over the past 10 years Bridget has studied various massage modalities such as Lymphatic Drainage, Cancer Massage and Reflexology. Bridget is a Nationally Certified Massage Therapist, a member of AMTA and NJ State Licensed #26BT00129700.
"Why mobile? I believe for every one full hour of bodywork you should be able to relax for one full hour after. Tell me a spa or salon that allows for this kind of relaxation after the treatment? That is why the benefits of an at-home massage far out weigh traveling to a spa and then traveling home. In your home you can be relaxed and not have to race anywhere afterwards."
