Rocksteady Therapists

We hear it so often. Our clients cannot find the same level of exceptional bodywork that we offer anywhere else. That’s because our therapists are experts in the art and science of massage and bodywork. They constantly push themselves to know the most and be the best, holding themselves to the highest standards in the profession simply because they believe in the power of the work that they do. It is because of them that our clients are happy, strong, healthy, and loyal. These people make lives better and we love them.

Rocksteady exists to cultivate well-being for our students, ourselves, and our communities.  We generate progressive, meaningful growth. This is NOT change for change sake, and this is NOT a temporary upgrade. Well-being is a discipline.  It demands harnessing our potential, fulfilling our capacity and applying ourselves daily to the work of becoming our greatest potential as an adventure. We believe that our greatest responsibility is to be our best self, so that we can give our best to the world.   We accomplish this through excellent bodywork, distinctive movement classes, life altering private sessions, and profound wellness immersions. We foster real, caring, and down to earth relationships with everyone who walks through our doors while offering high quality at affordable prices.

Therapist

As an avid mover in the mountains, I was able to find Rocksteady at the perfect time in my life. I unexpectedly found myself in a health crisis that limited my every day life patterns, amidst that I began a deep yoga practice to ground me. Rocksteady was a place for me to move even when I was
unwell and helped to foster a path towards wellness through mindfulness and movement. After completing my PhD in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Utah my body demanded a drastic lifestyle change. In the spring of 2021. I
entered into the massage therapy apprenticeship program at Rocksteady and
became a licensed massage therapist in June 2022. I look forward to deep connections with clients and offering the possibility for change with stubborn or chronic conditions using my personal learnings, listening, and life experiences.

Cydni Gillespie

Therapist

I always knew I wanted to work in the world of health and healing. Though, I never really knew in what way. Massage therapy frequently sat in the back of my mind. 

After years of trying to figure out what to do and passionless corporate jobs, I followed a whim and enrolled in the Holistic Health Practitioner program at Healing Mountain Massage School. I graduated in the Summer of 2022 and now, I absolutely love what I do. The world of holistic health has opened my mind so much and I have loved exploring avenues such as herbalism, sound healing, and reiki energy work along with several kinds of bodywork therapies.

My approach to this work is one of curiosity and wonder. I don’t believe massage has to just be either “fluff and buff” or “tough and rough”. I have received training in a high variety of technical, as well as energetic modalities and believe that the deepest healing comes from finding that perfect balance of techniques, personalized for each client. I practice intuitive touch, to listen to your bodily cues and create a unique session just for you, with each visit. I truly love this work and love seeing bodies change, reset, and come back into harmony. I'm very excited to work with the Rocksteady clientele and look forward to a continuation of learning and growth in this new career.

Liz Weldon

Apprentice Therapist

In summer of 2022, I made the decision to apply for Rocksteady’s full bodywork apprenticeship. This decision came from a deep curiosity and hunger for knowledge and tools to access healing, wellness, and longevity for myself and others. 

The end of my 9-year career as a professional ballet dancer was a dissolution of my whole world. It was also an opportunity for growth and to build something new. It opened a path of discovery which lead me to yoga teacher training, 10 day silent vipassana meditation practice, sound healing training, and now massage therapy. I was accepted to Rocksteady’s full bodywork apprenticeship and began training with Jessa in Fall 2022.

 Massage was an essential maintenance practice during my ballet career. The massage therapist I worked with became a trusted mentor who helped me through some big physical and mental challenges. She was an invaluable influence and support in my life. Her work inspired me to want to give that to others. My intention is to offer a safe space for people to feel held and heard. To deliver quality body work and to empower people to thrive physically, mentally, and spiritually. I’m excited and grateful for the opportunity to work with the Rocksteady team and clientele. 

Anne Aries

Apprentice Therapist

I stepped foot into Rocksteady about 4 years ago and fell in love with Jessa’s practice and her vision immediately! Here I am, learning from the master herself many years later. Prior to beginning this mind body approach in learning I received my first degree in Pre Health Sciences. Fascinated in the body and how movement can significantly improve quality of life, massage therapy was the next intentional step in furthering my education. I have so much gratitude for Rocksteady and its ability to teach me what it takes to be an excellent practitioner.
