About Solace Massage Therapy
sol·ace /ˈsäləs/
noun 1. alleviation of distress or discomfort.
verb 2. the act of consoling in time of difficulty, grief or pain.
When I began thinking about names for my massage practice, time and time again, I kept coming back to the word “solace.” I like that it means to bring comfort because that is exactly what I strive to do with every person that I am fortunate to work with.
Each session is as individual as each client. Some people are looking for relief from pain stemming from injuries, chronic pain, headaches, TMJ dysfunction, and the like. Others want a massage for relaxation. Some come to Solace seeking Craniosacral Therapy and the healing that can occur from headaches, vertigo, fibromyalgia, and other symptoms. Others may come seeking Reiki healing on all levels…mind, body, and spirit.
In 2017, I welcomed Collette Wilson, LMT, into my practice. Collette and I not only graduated from massage school together, but we also share the same philosophy when it comes to our clients. We are committed to providing you with the best session we can offer. In addition, we are tremendously compassionate about our profession and believe in the importance of mentoring and teaching the next generation of therapists.
We look forward to working with you, and thank you for choosing Solace Massage Therapy.

My journey into the world of massage began when I was about eight years old. My father, a factory worker, would often come home complaining of pain in his legs and feet. Not liking to see anyone in pain, I would offer to rub his feet. He never failed to tell me how strong my hands were and one day told me that I should be a masseuse when I grew up. At that time, I didn’t know what a masseuse or a massage therapist was, but I did know that I loved being able to help him and found great joy in knowing that my little hands helped to take his pain away.

Tessa has been a Licensed Massage Therapist since 2023 when she graduated from Advanced Massage Therapeutics. She discovered massage while she was searching for a purpose, not just a job, and after her first class she knew that massage was what she was meant to do. Her time in the corporate world as well as working in senior living taught her the importance of self care and prioritizing the well being of mind and body instead of pushing through pain and burnout. She brings these lessons into her practice and strives to create a tranquil environment where her clients feel heard and they can put down the stress of every day life to just be for a time.
