About ME

Curtis L Cantrell

I grew up, graduated high school, and started my massage career in Merrill WI, I attended school at Globe University graduating in 2011 but was working a year prior to that and while in school. I have been practicing since. I started out with my own business doing sports therapy as my focus for two years. Some life changes brought me to the fox valley area at the end of 2012 and I started to work mainly in the spa industry of Massage therapy until Covid hit and brought me closer back to my family. I spent the last few years working in the Wausau area as a therapist.

I am excited to be back to the Merrill area and being able to offer a big city spa ‘treatment’ aspect of Massage therapy without the 'big city' price.

I specialize in Swedish, Deep, Hot Stones, Myofascial release, Sports and Aroma therapy, I love doing the little add-on things to add more ‘de-stressing techniques’ to my services. I focus mainly on my client’s energy, and try to balance them to a point of ‘Zen’.

The name 'Willow Massage' came to me prior to me even starting out on my journey. The Willow tree offers its bark as natures healing medicine just like aspirin. Along with its natural flow of its bending, relaxing branches, it represents who I am. Its deep roots secure its large trunk to be sturdy, hearty, and relaxing to the look and feel. Its balancing fullness brings to life the second half of who I am represented by the Yin-Yang symbol which you will see throughout my office persona. Balance is important in all areas of our lives. Providing energy work is now my focus to bring this to my client’s. Through Reflexology (which I am studying now) Acupressure, and Chakra balancing techniques, I hope to provide this and many more ways and techniques which I will be adding to bring a sense of balance and ‘Zen’ to my clients.

In my down time, you will find me spending time with my two boys Ayden and Drake. They are my life. We enjoy Frisbee golf, Regular golf, biking, fishing, hunting, and camping. The outdoors is our playground. I also enjoy college football being a fan of Wisconsin Badgers and Alabama Crimson Tide. I also like watching the Packers and Brewers.

I look forward to working with all of you. We are all meant for a purpose in life. Some of us have yet to discover what that means, but for me, I am here for you. My beliefs in GOD are strong and also represented in my room. Without him I would not be here. I go by a mantra…. GOD first, others second, and myself third. Except when I need a massage, but even then I tend to put that off at times.
