Tranquil Massage & Wellness, LLC

My name is Wendy Raisley. I am the owner of Tranquil Massage & Wellness. I have been a Licensed Massage Therapist since 2009. I graduated at Pensacola School of Massage Therapy in Florida in 2009. Then I went on to receive my A.S. Degree in Medical Massage at Daytona College.  After working there for a few years my husband and I decided to move back home to Ohio in 2011.  I have worked here since then for an awesome company.  I decided to be courageous and finally open up my own massage business.I love what I do. It fills me up with so much joy and happiness when I can make some feel better. I specialize in neck, shoulder, and back massage. My style of massage is therapeutic but calm and relaxing. I tend to put people to sleep. I personally believe in the benefits of massage and how much it can truly help. Before massage, for years I suffered from headaches. I had injured myself from boxes that fell on my neck at work. I saw medical attention and was prescribed muscle relaxers. They helped to a point but made me exhausted all of the next day. For about 7 years until massage school I had headaches 4-5 days a week. I was taking over-the-counter pain medications left and right but nothing helped. I had never had a massage before and thought a professional massage was only for relaxation and it was a “want” not a “need.” Once I told my massage teacher about my issues, she decided to work on me. After that one massage, that first week was a completely different story. No headache. It was a blessing. Massage has truly changed my life. It is my passion. License # 33.021202

My name is Abigail Gabalski, LMT. After a family member piqued my interest in body work when I was younger, I thought it would be fun to take a class about massage while I was in college. At that point I had no idea I could make a career out of it, but once I realized that was an option, I decided to switch gears and attend Heritage College for therapeutic massage. After graduating in 2013, I started working for a small studio in Hilliard, Ohio. As much as I loved working there, I felt like I was done growing as a therapist and needed to move on to further my career. With the backing of my education, and feedback from my clients I have developed my unique style of massage. While I can use a wide range of pressure levels and techniques, I really love to just "listen" to the muscles I'm working on and let them tell me what I need to do. By listening to the body, I can create an extremely personalized massage and provide a deeply relaxing experience. I truly enjoy seeing my clients leave pain free and happy. License #33.021312

Hi, my name is Brian Shoaf, I’ve been a therapist since 2016 and like most who do this job, I came to it late. My first job out of High School was the Army for 5 years. I got out and did a host of jobs, Security, Warehouse, Forklift, Data entry, Telemarketing, even a job making Haunted House monsters, but I wasn’t all that happy at any of them. Then I found Massage, actually my wife made me do it and it was a good call. Deep Tissue is what I do most but most people think that deep = pain. I don’t believe that. Deep tissue just means the tissue closest to the bone. To get there you just have to warm up the tissue above it so it slides out of the way. You don’t have to be in pain for days to be more mobile. Now while I do like deeper work, my favorite thing to work is low back and hip. The hip is where your force of movement meets the weight of your upper body, it's the balance point. License #33.023221
