The Zen Zone Wellness - Heal, Relax, Refresh, and Recharge

Tessa is a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) who graduated from Advanced Massage Therapeutics in April 2023. She was inspired to pursue massage therapy by her love of helping others and her desire to be a lifelong learner. Her time as an aerialist with Turner’s Circus taught her the importance of self-care and the powerful role massage can play in promoting healing and relaxation.

Tessa is trained in Swedish and Deep Tissue massage, as well as Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Craniosacral Therapy, and is enthusiastic about continuing her education in additional therapeutic techniques. Whether you’ve spent the day on your feet, sitting at a desk, or hanging from a trapeze, she customizes each session to meet your unique needs.

B. Precious Thornsberry is a Licensed Massage Practitioner known for her intuitive, anatomy-driven approach to therapeutic bodywork, with a clinical focus on modern cupping techniques. She completed her medical massage therapy training at Medical Career and Technical College at the Lexington campus.
Her path to becoming what clients often call a “muscle whisperer” was shaped by her personal experience with ankyloglossia, also known as TOTS (Tethered Oral Tissues). That journey revealed that the condition rarely exists in isolation, as restrictions frequently extend into the musculature of the head, neck, and upper body. This understanding informs her treatment style and intuitive flow, allowing her to address patterns of tension, improve mobility, and support overall physical function through targeted therapeutic techniques over time.
Outside of her clinical practice, she is also the mother of one daughter.

Precious can be found in Middletown and Mt Washington 

Danielle graduated from Advanced Massage Therapeutics and has been a Licensed Massage Therapist for six years. She also holds a BA in Social Science from the University of Louisville and previously worked with traumatized teenage girls in the mental health field, where she witnessed the powerful impact of therapeutic touch.

Her passion for massage therapy grew after surviving a serious car accident in 2018, when chiropractic care and massage played a key role in her recovery. This experience gave her a deep understanding of how the body adapts to injury and how proper treatment can help relieve pain and restore function.

Danielle is committed to creating a safe, therapeutic environment and helping clients achieve better physical, mental, and emotional well-being through personalized care. Outside of massage, she enjoys singing, songwriting, poetry, biking, and long-distance running. She believes that both self-expression and physical activity are essential for reducing stress, improving mobility, and supporting overall health.

At The Zen Zone Wellness, Danielle is passionate about helping others on their wellness journey while leading by example.
