About

Deeply inspired by the natural beauty of the Urban Wilderness in south Knoxville, Urban Wellness was born.  Jeanie became a zealot of therapeutic massage after visiting the Bath Houses in Hot Springs, AR during a family reunion.  It was her first experience with Hydro-Therapy and Swedish massage.  She remembers leaving feeling better than she ever had, both inside and out, knowing in that moment she had to be a part of the healing arts world, with a desire for both giving and receiving. 

She returned home to Charlottesville, VA and attended Virginia School of Massage.  She earned her Professional Massage Degree focused in three intensive semesters: Swedish and massage principles, Deep Tissue and our anatomy, and Myo-fascial and our physiology. During the 2005 graduation ceremony, the commencement speaker advised the class to end each treatment session by opening the door to healing, so the client could walk through.  Jeanie has set this open door to quantum healing intention with every client her entire career.  

 In 2014, Jeanie's path found her working as a massage therapist at Zen Studios; a boutique yoga studio offering yoga wall, restorative, Vinyasa, and aerial yoga.  After attending Zen's teacher training, she earned her 200 Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance (#150613).  A decade later, she returned to class with Renegade Yoga Center completing Advanced Yoga Teacher Training becoming a RYT-500.
