Your therapist, Jennifer Grisham-Dobbs, is a 20 year licensed Massage Therapy veteran and a member of the American Massage Therapy Association. Originally hailing from her beloved City of Chicago, she first fell in love with the desert while earning her BFA in Dance from The University of Arizona. She subsequently earned her diploma certificate in Massage Therapy from the Chicago School of Massage Therapy.  Jen crafted an organic career path that saw her performing with Chicago’s finest dancers. All the while, she was treating her clients in both clinical and private settings and sharing her knowledge through teaching, specializing in dance technique, composition and pedagogy. These valuable experiences in conjunction with the study of kinesiology, offers Jen the unique ability to customize her massages on an individual level.  In addition to healing the bodies of hardworking everyday individuals, Jen’s diverse and prestigious client base exposed her to a wide and demanding range of pathologies. When not performing massage, she is treating her clients with CranioSacral therapy and is always excited to educate individuals on the benefits of this powerful modality.  She is currently a teacher at ASIS Massage Education, teaching Anatomy & Physiology, Swedish Massage, Injury Rehab and CranioSacral Therapy.

TESTIMONIALS

"As a professional dancer, it was imperative that I took care of my body through proper workouts, well-balanced nutrition, and methods to recover wisely to be able to dance 6-8 hours per day 6 days per week, year-round. I was very selective with who I consulted for physical therapy and massage therapy. I was fortunate enough to meet Jen Grisham-Dobbs through fellow dancers and decided to try after glowing recommendations, hoping that, since she was a dancer, she would intricately understand my needs. She not only met my expectations, she surpassed them. Her knowledge of anatomy, her ability to listen to exactly what I needed from each session, and her technique allowed her to work on my aching body and resolve issues that no amount of stretching, foam rolling, or other form of bodywork was able to relieve. She has almost 20 years of experience and is one of the most knowledgeable massage therapists I’ve encountered in my many years of relying on them to keep me returning to the stage.  I could not recommend Jen more highly, and think everyone should make an effort to see her regularly to take care of their bodies."


Katherine Proctor Charlier, Radio City Rockette PS




"Jen Grisham-Dobbs was an LMT that I worked with daily at an Athletico PT/OT clinic in Chicago for 7 years. Jen was one of those very intuitive massage therapists that could read a patient physically and mentally to provide them with exactly what was needed for that day.  She was able to treat all diagnoses, all ages, all personalities and all activity levels from peds to elderly to the professional athlete. She could tailor her treatment for each individual and get the most of her sessions. I have seen her work with very difficult clinical presentations. Jen used a variety of techniques to obtain positive outcomes.  I consistently sent former patients to Jen for clinical massage. She had some incredibly devoted clients in Chicago that were very sad to see her leave the area. I highly recommend that everyone utilizes her services. If you have pain, injuries, soreness or are looking for general wellness for your overall health, Jen Grisham-Dobbs will be one of the best LMT’s you can see."

"I have been an active runner for over 20 years and have completed 13 marathons. None of these marathons would have been possible without Jen. She is a great massage therapist who actually listens to what the patient needs (i,e.  dig deeper here, ooh too hard there, ah... that's perfect). She has also been very accommodating to my schedule often staying late or starting early. Can't say enough about Jen. My only complaint is that she moved out of state. Come home Jen.... Come Home!!!!!"

Bill Erdman, Marathon runner




I’ve worked with Jen as my massage therapist for over 5 years now. She has worked with me through CrossFit training, marathon training and 2 pregnancies. Jen is incredible and understands the body like no therapist I’ve ever worked with. She looks at the big picture in your body and finds points of tightness and tension you didn’t even know were causing problems.

If you’re the type that wants to chill out and relax, it’s great because she comes right to your home and provides a perfect, calm atmosphere. But, if you’re like me and get sports massages, she is hilarious and can easily distract you when dealing with painful areas.  I recommend Jen to literally everyone I know because she is the best. Over 10 years of trying out different sports therapists, I’ve finally found my one and only.
