Get To Know Your Massage Therapist

Howdy, I am Dominque Burney, a licensed massage therapist in the Tampa Bay area. I’ve been a massage therapist for 15+ years serving the Tampa Bay area in various spas and clinics you may be familiar with. My mission has always been to provide a service that allows you to be in control of your health and wellness when it comes to bodywork. Over the years I have learned how to listen to your needs as well as the cues that your body/muscles relay during the session. Various modalities are also a part of my arsenal that I use throughout each session. I do not believe in charging different pricing for specific treatment models as all of them may be useful in any session. Instead, my mission is to provide ample time to hear, to feel, and assess what you and your body require. As any good massage therapist would do, I continue to learn new ways to help my clients. My focus is on providing a relaxing and healing experience in each session that I provide. I look forward to becoming a great addition to your health and wellness journey. See you soon!
