Harmony Sovia
I have been a licensed massage therapist since 2007 after graduating from Branford Hall Career Institute in Connecticut. I started my career as a lead massage therapist for a high end spa. Over the years since then I have become more invested in the idea of massage therapy as a necessity rather than a luxury. I became a certified Medical Massage Practioner in 2017 through LMT Success Group.
I specialize in deep tissue, trigger point, and therapeutic massage techniques.
When I am not working I enjoy being outside hiking, kayaking, and camping. I also volunteer with “Responsible Stewardship” and “Save Our Smokies”, two groups that clean up National and State parks here in Tennessee and educate the public about Leave No Trace principles
