Guy McChesney has been a licensed Massage therapist since 1996, receiving his initial training at The New Hampshire institute for therapeutic arts in Bridgeton Maine. Guy also received extensive training in Thai yoga bodywork over the years both in the U.S and in Thailand. He is committed to health, fitness and bodywork. His love of the outdoors, movement and a physically active life has given him constant motivation to continue to learn and grow within this profession that has provided so many years of fulfillment. Guy believes optimum health and mental well being stem from balanced emphasis on body, mind and spirit through the arts of massage, proper nutrition, movement and exercise. Along with his own practice, he has found great joy in providing a professional space where highly experienced bodyworkers including his wife, Tatiana have made the decision to join him and be a part of a community of health practitioners all dedicated to the same principles of providing an optimal experience for their clients and the community.

Rob began practicing massage in 2007 after graduating from New Hampshire Institute for Therapeutic Arts in Bridgton Maine. Rob practices an integrated, intuitive style of massage where various techniques will be applied based on the client’s particular needs each session. The pressure level used during sessions ranges from light to moderately deep, as Rob prefers to use various techniques to get the muscles to relax instead of a heavy amount of pressure whenever possible. He has spent the last 14 years practicing massage while working alongside physical therapists, orthopedic surgeons, chiropractors and acupuncturists; which has enriched and broadened his knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology. Rob has also completed advanced training in massage techniques to alleviate neck pain, and neck pain/dysfunction sustained as a result of whiplash.

Brianna earned her degree in Behavioral Sciences with a concentration in counseling at the University of Southern Maine in 2017. Her yearning to help others later led her to the SpaTech Institute where she earned her Maine massage therapy license. She later gained experience in various settings including wellness centers, spas and chiropractic offices. Brianna’s passion for massage partly comes from working through her own personal struggles. Her experiences with chronic health issues led her to seek out alternative healthcare practices, which led her to lymphatic massage. By putting more focus into her lymphatic health, she saw many of her symptoms subside and now feels inspired to share her knowledge with those who can benefit. Brianna’s massage practice now centers around helping those with autoimmune conditions and chronic pain. She specializes in Manual Lymph Drainage and is a Certified Manual Lymph Drainage Therapist (CMLDT). This modality stimulates the body’s lymphatic response through gentle, rhythmic strokes. Waste products are moved away from tissues where they can accumulate and cause a variety of health issues. This modality provides symptomatic relief from migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue, and Lyme disease, among other conditions. This work is also very effective in treating post-surgical and post-traumatic swelling. Additionally, lymphatic work is very relaxing and can help with sleep quality and chronic stress. Brianna believes that massage can play an important role in moving the needle towards improving quality of life. From personal experience, she understands the emotional and spiritual effect of chronic health issues and aims to not just provide comforting touch but a listening ear as well. Brianna takes pride in being part of her client’s support system and circle of care. She looks forward to seeing you in the office and helping you in your journey towards good health.

Tatiana McChesney is originally from Brazil. She became interested in massage therapy after a trip to Thailand in 2005 where under the supervision of Master Mactherdchai of Chiang Mai and Jonas Westring she studied Thai Massage. In 2009 Tatiana became a licensed massage therapist focusing on Deep Tissue and Therapeutic work. In 2011 Tatiana became certified in Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy®. In this technique, the therapist stands on your back – staying balanced by holding bars that are secured to the ceiling – and uses her heels, instep, and toes to apply deep and constant pressure to the back, gluts, hamstrings and calves. It is ideal for people with tight ligaments or those with tense shoulders and hips. Each session is designed based on how the client is feeling and what the needs are.
