I’m Jovhannah. I am a licensed massage and bodywork therapist in North Carolina. I’m also a Reiki energy healing practitioner, a crystal healing practitioner, and certified in a number of other modalities. In addition to all that, I am a spiritual life coach.
Through bodywork—massage included, but also other therapies like reflexology—I get to blend all these incredible skills through one sacred channel, and do the work my soul loves.
My mission?
To help liberate bodies, minds, and souls from pain, tension, stress, and trauma.
My Sacred Approach to Healing
I take a holistic view of healing. There’s always more to learn, and the more I learn, the better I can pull from my toolbag to serve your specific needs.
Some clients see me for regular massage—full body, for relaxation, or for targeted, treatment-focused work addressing particular issues or tight muscles.
But then there are those who seek the full holistic experience. That’s where I get excited! I love blending it all together for people who want and need something deeper.
Liberating Body, Mind, and Soul
If I had to pick one word for what massage and bodywork feel like in my hands, it’s always liberation. I liberate people. I help folks find freedom from pain, trauma, and stress—in their bodies, minds, and souls. That’s my true gift and calling.
I see too many people, especially Black people, who have never been introduced to these alternative therapies, like massage, stretching, reflexology, acupressure, essential oils…the list goes on.
I want to change that.
That’s why I became a healer and a coach, to use these tangible skills to help people feel better in their bodies, to help folks release stress and those heavy emotions we carry that get stuck inside us, locked away in the body.
When we don’t deal with those, they turn into pain. None of us deserve to walk around carrying that.
My Own Path to Liberation
My journey to becoming a massage therapist was deeply liberating for me. I know what it’s like to be both the receiver and the giver of healing touch, and I honor that by holding safe, sacred space for every client. Trauma has touched my life, so I know firsthand what it means to create true safety for healing.
And make no mistake; I am here primarily to serve Black communities, to educate us about why massage, bodywork, energy healing, and coaching are not just “nice to haves,” but essential practices for wholeness and reclaiming our birthright of wellness.
I’m deeply grateful to be laying down roots with this work, making these sacred traditions accessible, and growing this beautiful business with my whole heart.
Ritual, Ceremony, and Ancestral Reconnection
My favorite part of this work is the way it opens the door for ritual and ceremony—something our communities have been separated from for far too long. Since time began, cultures and tribes have marked the transitions of human life with sacred ceremony. In my own life, I felt the deep absence of ritual at pivotal moments.
That’s why one of my passions is to restore rites of passage for girls as they start their moon cycles, and healing rituals surrounding child loss; no matter the cause. I want to offer care and tending to women after childbirth, a time when we are often left vulnerable and exhausted. There needs to be more community, more care, and more ritual around these moments. They deserve to be honored.
I’m committed to returning these rites of passage to our girls, boys, women, and men.
Healing on this level is not just beautiful, it’s revolutionary.
That’s why I host local and virtual events, craft ceremonies, and share everything I’ve learned with my community. This work is liberation in motion.
Favorite Techniques & Healing Tools
Let’s talk about some of my favorite healing tools.
Cupping therapy, I can’t recommend it enough! It’s powerful work.
I also adore lymphatic massage, which has truly changed the game for my clients. Not only is it good for skin and general wellness, but it flushes stagnation from the body and supports healing after surgery.
Consistency really matters with any post-op lymphatic work.
I offer lymphatic therapy packages, whether you’re recovering from a procedure or you just want to detox and feel lighter. And of course, I’m always studying something new, bringing back fresh techniques to craft the most customized healing experiences possible.
Reiki massage and aromatherapy? Those are some of my absolute joys. Blending energy work and scent with touch is magic. There’s always more to learn and share, and I love pouring that wisdom back into my work.
Community, Expansion, and Next Steps
Right now, my availability is limited, but I’ll be opening up my calendar soon, so be on the lookout.
I’m already living out one of my dreams! Serving as a sacred healer and seeing the impact reflected in the lives of my clients.
It’s beautiful, affirming work, and I’m grateful beyond measure for every single soul who entrusts me with their healing journey.
Get ready for more expansion, more opportunities to gather, and more spaces for collective healing in community.
