Having practiced massage therapy for several years, Jill and her husband, David, loved their career so much, they decided that they wanted to share their love of massage with new, bright and enthusiastic prospective therapists. In July of 2004, they bought the massage school they graduated from years before and moved it to Eureka Springs. Jill graduated first in her class at Northwest AR School of Massage when it was located in Fayetteville, AR, and both Jill and David continue to devote numerous hours every year to continuing education.

In addition to basic Swedish massage, Jill and David have studied and use such modalities as Creative Healing, Raindrop Therapy, Hawaiian Lomi Lomi and Enertropic Therapy. Jill has had special training in massage for fibromyalgia clients and is certified in both Healing Stone Massage and Daybreak Geriatric Massage. David also received his training at the school while it was in Fayetteville. He is also certified in Healing Stone Massage and is best known by his clients for his love of footwork, which led him to study for his certification in reflexology.

Drawing from their advanced training they use their skill and knowledge of massage to customize each session for their clients and pass that ability along to their students. While some massage therapy instructors prefer to simply focus just on teaching, Jill and David both continue to work out of the spa that they started in Eureka Springs, It’s All About You...Massage Therapy. Both feel that staying in touch with the everyday experiences of the working massage therapist helps them to adequately prepare their students for the “real world” upon graduation. In addition to teaching new students, Jill also teaches several continuing education courses to licensed therapists at the school.
