Ann Beck, LMT

I've always been passionate about health and wellness. I began as a pre-med major in undergrad which evolved into an interest in natural and integrative medicine. My love for working with my hands initially guided me toward a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts. Working as a jewelry artist, I started my own business, Dream Spiral Art Jewelry. It was a decade later when I discovered a way to combine my interest in health and wellness with a love for working with my hands. That's when I became a massage therapist!

In 2010, I graduated from the Institute of Massage Therapy (I.M.T.) in Richmond, VA and began working at a wellness clinic in the Fan. After a couple of years, I started my own practice as Artful Hands Massage Therapy. Over the years, I've fine-tuned my artful hands with additional certifications in Integrative Reflexology, Perinatal massage (Nurturing the Mother), Reiki (energy work), Aromatherapy, Lymphatic Detox Massage, Thai-Yoga Massage, and Gua Sha/Muscle Scraping.

I also developed my own line of medicinal salves called Roots of Zen Botanicals.

I specialize in therapeutic relaxation massage where areas of tension are addressed by gradually flowing deeper into the tissue, allowing pain and tension to melt away comfortably. Each massage therapy session will incorporate a variety of techniques tailored to your body's specific needs.
