     Becoming a certified massage therapist is a dream come true. When I was young I would massage my mother’s tired, sore shoulders after her long days of working. Although, I had no idea what I was doing she always said they felt better afterward.

     Becoming a certified massage therapist is a dream come true. When I was young I would massage my mother’s tired, sore shoulders after her long days of working. Although, I had no idea what I was doing she always said they felt better afterward. I grew up and forgot about that, but after I was laid off I had time to reflect and think about what I could do that would make me happy. This is when massage therapy became an option for me. I thoroughly enjoy helping my clients feel their best and recover from muscle pain and stress they are experiencing.

I attended American Institute of Massage and graduated May 2009. I passed the NCBTMB and received my certification from the Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Health Professions in August 2009. I started working on my own and opened Total Peace Massage, LLC in March 2010. Unfortunately, shortly after that opening I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Breast Cancer. I was unable to work during my many months of treatments, so I closed that location. Once I was able to return to work, I went to work for someone else. I gained a great deal of knowledge for running a massage business and realized how much I truly love giving therapeutic massage that help people relieve their pain, stress and just feel better. The best part of my job is seeing my clients face after their massage.

I am very blessed to have the opportunity to start Total Peace Massage, LLC (TPM) once again at 2505 Pocoshock Place, Suite 203, North Chesterfield, VA 23235. A quite county setting that offers a private parking lot with plenty of parking spaces.

Reflexology

Pregnancy Massage

Easing the Pain of Fibromyalgia with Massage

Aromatherapy I & II

Yes,I would tell a friend. Grace does an amazing job. She adjust her techniques to suit the individual person needs. Very comfortable and clean and refreshing environment. Grace listen to you and also found and massage parts of my body where needed. Grace did a great and excellent job. I would definitely come back to her. Keep up the excellent job.

Everyone I talk to about massages, I give them Gracie's name/website. She's amazing! I have had lots of massages through random groupons/etc and I got lucky and hit gold. She uses different techniques (hot stones, towels, cups) when needed to create the ultimate massage. Since meeting Gracie, I have had massages in the UK, Canada, and Mexico (at resorts) and while they were good, I'd pick still pick Gracie.

It was so amazing that I booked my second appointment while I was there.

Gracie is the BEST! I’ve been seeing her monthly for several years. I always feel terrific after my massages. You should go too!

Thank you for a nice, relaxing massage! And you were right, the lady who recommended you is short, and has dreads. To be fair, she was sitting down and had her hair in a bun when I met her :) Her name is Tiffany Plumber.
