Hi, I’m Ivelisse, licensed massage & bodywork therapist and owner of Wise Body Massage & Bodywork. I’m a graduate from the Western North Carolina School of Massage, where I completed my massage therapy studies and also obtained a certificate in neuromuscular therapy (NMT). An interest in experiential anatomy and movement practices led me to pursue a yoga teaching certification from the Sivananda Yoga Center in the Bahamas in 2015. I am also currently pursuing a certification in Anatomy Trains Structural Integration (ATSI).

The focus of my work is always informed by the needs of my client, first and foremost. At the core of what I do is a collaborative effort, inviting breath and awareness of movement to promote balance back into the body. My sessions are meant to empower my clients with knowledge and self care recommendations.

I incorporate an intuitive blend of neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, yoga informed stretching, and cupping. In my practice I strive to create a space for clients to embody inward focus while maintaining a safe and nurturing environment.
