Zuzana McDaniel (MT012348)

Zuzana McDaniel is originally from Bratislava, Slovakia but has lived in the United States since 2005. Most recently she has relocated from Outer Banks of North Carolina to the Peach State and now calls Atlanta, Georgia her home. In Slovakia she studied Regional Development and after graduating from her University she enjoyed traveling for a time. After meeting her husband in the OBX, she took up a permanent residence and started a family. Zuzana continuously seeks balance throughout all aspects of life whether it be her family, nutrition, work, entertainment, or herself.

Zuzana’s interest in massage began in childhood when her father hurt his back as a karate instructor. He introduced her to a Shiatsu style back massage to aid him with his pain and after seeing his relief, she was intrigued. When she was 13, her whole family moved to China for 2 years. Fascinated by the culture, holistic healing and martial arts further deepened her desire to learn. It was not until she came to the United States that she had the opportunity to pursue a massage career.

Zuzana graduated from Advanced Fuller School of Massage Therapy in 2011, which soon after led to her licensure. Her early career began with student massages at the school thus gaining experience through the discounted massage services. After passing the school requirements and the year of mentoring at Fuller’s, Zuzana began work at Aqua Day Spa in Duck, NC and later transitioned to Anew U massage in Elizabeth City.

Through her massage travels, she was introduced to a modality called Isometric Muscle and Body Balancing. Zuzana was fascinated by this technique as the philosophy at its core aligned with her outlook on life. Harmony in all things translates directly to Isometric Balancing. She is able to work and release tight or overactive muscles and strengthen the under active ones to relieve the body of pain. This coupled with her studies of myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and deep tissue, she has helped many people manage pain and find balance.

Zuzana strives to bring a sense of well-being and relaxation to all those involved in her life whether it be family, friends, a client, or herself.

Jessica Ewing (MT014972)

Jessica's journey into massage therapy began at the age of 12 in Mexico, where she received her first transformative massage from her aunt. Battling a cold, Jessica was amazed when her aunt's quick massage, which involved gathering and popping air pockets on her arm, provided instant relief. This early experience ignited Jessica's lifelong appreciation for the power of mindful and educated touch in promoting positive bodywork.

Years later, Jessica found herself overwhelmed by the demands of being a housewife and homemaker, especially during the initial years of her marriage when her husband was in the Marine Corps. Feeling disconnected from her body, she sought solace in a shiatsu massage, which vividly reminded her of her aunt's healing touch. Both her aunt and the shiatsu therapist had the same intention: to bring her body back to balance using their knowledge and intuition. This experience inspired Jessica to pursue a career in massage therapy.

Jessica and her family moved from her hometown in Southern California to Suwanee, Georgia, with the goal of attending one of the best massage schools, owning a home with a spacious backyard, and enjoying a slower pace of life. After graduating from Georgia Massage School, Jessica is now deeply passionate about practicing and refining her skills, learning new techniques, and allowing her interests to guide her professional journey. She is dedicated to helping others achieve balance and well-being through the art of massage therapy.
