Hi, I’m Alicia Hammonds, LMT, and I’ve been a licensed massage therapist for 16 years.
My path into massage therapy really started with something simple—I’ve always loved helping people and I’ve always been fascinated by health, nutrition, and how the body works. I actually began my healthcare journey at 17 as a pharmacy technician. I learned a lot during that time, but I quickly realized I was more drawn to a holistic, more natural, hands-on approach to helping people feel better.
That led me to Stark State & Ohio College of Massotherapy, where I earned my Associate Degree in Applied Science, along with my massage license and certifications in neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, and relaxation massage. While I was in school, I also worked as a phlebotomist and later became a personal trainer, which really helped me understand the body from different angles—movement, strength, and overall function.
One of the most meaningful parts of my journey was working at Holistic Family Chiropractic with Dr. Nate as a chiropractic assistant and in rehabilitation. I helped patients with corrective exercises to improve posture, mobility, and daily function. That experience really confirmed for me that I love being part of people’s healing process in a natural, supportive way.
After becoming a mom, I decided to create Massage by Alicia so I could build a practice that gave me the flexibility to care for my family while still doing what I love—helping others feel better in their bodies.
These days, I truly enjoy working with my clients. Whether it’s easing pain, improving mobility, or just helping someone finally relax, it means a lot to be part of that process. I really believe our bodies deserve consistent, thoughtful care, and I feel grateful every day to support people on their wellness journey.
