Jenny Catha,
LMBT
A Florida native, I graduated from Pensacola State College’s Massage Therapy program in Pensacola, Florida in December 2014 and moved to South Carolina where I was licensed and began massage work.
I appreciate how massage can help people feel cared for and can relieve stress. It’s a wonderful career where people are always excited for their session and feel more at ease and relaxed when they leave. It’s such a positive environment and focusing on my client’s goals for each session is my passion. Whether they’re looking for quiet relaxation, pain management, or a new self-care habit, I love to tailor my approach to their needs.
