About Us
I began my journey with Massage and Bodywork in 1992 after an automobile accident. I studied at TMTI in Charlotte, NC and completed my training at Southeastern School of Neuromuscular and Massage Therapy also in Charlotte, NC, obtaining my North Carolina state license in 1995.
I know that this is a gift that God blessed me with and I use it for His Glory and I am humbled that He has allowed me to use my hands to bring healing to anyone who comes into my practice.
Training includes Swedish, Deep Tissue, Neuromuscular (NMT), Hand and Foot Reflexology, Pregnancy, Myofascial Release, and Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques (MAT). I also offer facial massages, hot stone massage, Cupping Therapy, Thai Compress Ball Treatments, Dry Brushing with or without Essential Oil Profusion, and Clinical ...

I've been a fan of massage therapy for many years; however, I haven't had a massage that compared to the massaged provided by my therapist in the late '90s until I received a massage from Alison Robinette in Dec. 2017. Even days later, I can feel the effects of the deep massage WITHOUT feeling like I am bruised. She really knows what she is doing to offer therapeutic effects and not just relaxation techniques. I highly recommend anyone contact her who works on computers for a living because she can work the knots out of shoulder and neck pain from intensive desk work.
