Kyndra Blacks, LMT
Massage Therapist
Hello Eugene, I have been a licensed massage therapist for a little over 5 years. I provide a combination of therapeutic and deep tissue massage which allows me to work the problem area while still allowing for relaxation. Massage therapy has always been a part of my life even when I was too young to know it was a profession. At the age of 7 and up I would give my aunts and uncle’s foot rubs to help them sleep, I would also gift massages instead of buying presents. Everyone is always happy after a massage and to be able to facilitate that is the biggest reward in the world.
