Amy Jo Soeken
Licensed Massage Therapist/ Owner
My name is Amy Jo,
It is such a gift to be able to live your dream. Turning Leaf Massage is the product of a dream that was born shortly after my graduation from the Clinic Massage Institute of Geneseo in 1997. My life has always centered around health, healing and re-discovery.
I spent 15 years working in labor and delivery and I am an experienced "birthing coach". I opened Turning Leaf in 2010. It is my passion to help people discover the relaxation and restoration that massage can provide. I have a particular interest in providing massages for couples, a process that can help couples build stronger bonds in their relationships by rekindling the spark that first brought them together.
