Meet chelsia Gooden

Licensed Massage Therapist ･ﾟ✧

Chelsia (pronounced “Chel-c-ya”) Gooden’s journey with massage began in childhood when she naturally took on the role of a nurturer, offering massages to her sisters and cousins. In her twenties, after receiving numerous compliments on her massage skills, she decided to turn her talent into a career. This decision led her to graduate from the Dayton School of Medical Massage in 2021, officially beginning her professional practice.

Her passion for Massage Therapy is also deeply personal, stemming from her own experience with chronic pain. This experience inspired her to explore natural healing methods, realizing that while medication often only treats symptoms, massage therapy, combined with stretching, exercise, good posture, and physical therapy, addresses the root causes of pain for lasting relief. Chelsia remains committed to expanding her skill set and learning new modalities, further supporting both her own healing journey and that of her clients. Helping others is her passion, and there’s nothing more rewarding to her than relieving or even eliminating someone’s pain.

Meet Angie cornett

Reflexologist & Service Coordinator ･ﾟ✧

Angie has held a connection to Wellness Studios for many years as a client receiving bodywork, but nearly 5 years ago she was called to start a more meaningful inner healing work of her mind, body, & spirit as a client at Wellness Studios in Dayton. To truly reconnect those parts of herself as a whole. It was through coaching with Marianne and receiving amazing body work here that she was able to feel truly held in a space that allowed her to deeply begin to heal and transform in the way that she needed to. And it is with receiving that, she knew she wanted to become a bigger part of the organization and it’s collective of healers. To be able to give back to this sacred space that had given and continues to give so much to her.

As the Service Coordinator Angie finds true joy in being able to bridge the community to this beautiful group of body/energy/tarot workers through behind the scenes synchronization of appointments and schedules. It is also through witnessing this incredible work here and through her own healing journey, she has chosen to specialize in relaxation reflexology, reiki, and sound bowls. She strongly feels these modalities can help create the space and the support we need on our self-healing journeys. The most recent addition of which she offers, being the power of sound & vibration through the use of Himalayan sounds bowls. Forever grateful for the incredible opportunity to go learn about this ancient technique under the in-depth knowledge & teachings of Patty in St Louis, MO, she learned the amazing life changing benefits these ancient tools can have, not just on our physical bodies but in our emotional & subtle bodies as well. It has become one of the most powerful tools for her own healing journey, helping to work through core wounds, such as the Identity wound. Helping to clear energetic blockages and ground herself. 

Angie is grateful for these powerful offerings that provide her the ability to return spiritual and healing services to the collective in a way that encompasses that which she was inspired by.
