Formerly Van Winkle Massage Therapy located in Lebanon, TN; the office was closed when a tornado destroyed Beautiful You Salon on March 3rd, 2020. Shortly after COVID-19 hit hindering efforts at reopening. Now reopened in Franklin, TN at Phenix Salon Suites at 2000 Mallory Ln in room 107.

Having lived in the US, former USSR, and Europe, I have experienced a variety of massage techniques and attitudes towards massage therapy. Knowing I wanted to help people seeking relief from pain I began researching schools and chose Carlson College of Massage Therapy in Anamosa, IA because of their reputation, accreditation, and focus on therapeutic techniques.

Upon graduation in 2011, I returned to Texas to get my license where I practiced for only 3 months before being offered interviews from several places I had applied to in Berlin so, I moved to Germany to be closer to my children, bringing therapeutic techniques and aroma therapy to a 5 star hotel spa. At the spa, I quickly gained repeat clientele among those wanting more relief from pain than general spa treatment provided and offered training to my colleagues in deep tissue and sports stretching.

Now in Tennessee since 2014, licensed in the state since 2015, I have worked for a major chain in the Cool Springs area and quickly gained a devoted clientele. After more than a decade there I have left to begin focusing on building my practice. I offer: Aroma, Deep Tissue/Sport, Swedish Massage, I am a Certified Medical Massage Practitioner, and Certified Cupping Practioner as well.

REVIEWS for my massage services

Wil gave me one of the best massages I have ever had (and I have had 100s). I plan to see him at least twice per month.

Wil is an excellent massage therapist. He is able to target problem areas and provide relief to soreness / pain with a variety of techniques. He is very knowledgeable and his studio is always very clean and well maintained. I highly recommend Massage by Wil for any of your massage needs.

I have been a client for a little over a year. Wil has consistently demonstrated good skill, professionalism, and helpful tips for stretches etc at home. Furthermore, he has become an integral part of my care team as I have chronic migraine. His ability to reduce my muscular tension decreases the intensity of my attacks and thus the need for further reliance on pain medication. Additionally, he has introduced an oil mixture comprised of peppermint, wintergreen, and CBD oils. This is very helpful as they all have anti inflammatory properties which provides further migraine relief. I am grateful for his help on my recovery journey.

Will is an amazing massage therapist!!! I have been going to him for years and follow him wherever he goes because there are few therapist that can compare. He is very knowledgeable and experienced in various massage techniques. He has helped my body recover from injuries and I confidently trust his recommendations. I always leave rebooking immediately to ensure I get an appointment! I highly recommend him!!!

I’ve gone to Wil since January 2021 monthly following a car accident which physical therapy did not help. His medical massage license along with his experience and professionalism kept me as a regular. Highly recommend.
