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

by Dennis on Sep 10
Wil provides a truly customized experience in his new location. He takes the time to ask what your goals are for each massage, whether you have injuries or health changes, and then adjusts his technique to provide a great experience every time. Highly recommended!

Wil gives a great massage. He pays special attention to any injuries or spots that need work. He has significantly helped me with my knee pain. I highly recommend Wil!
