My philosophy is centered around the idea that the mind, body, and spirit are interconnected, and that holistic therapies like massage can help to heal and balance all three. While not a quick fix, massage therapy can go a long way to heal what ails you. Even if massage cannot fully treat your condition, it will help you feel better by keeping compensating muscle groups in balance.

Being part of a family massage therapy business, I grew up with massage, and received many massages before I became a therapist myself. Unbeknownst to me, great knowledge was being passed onto me with each massage I received!
I am very proud to carry on the legacy of my family's business, which began with my mother, Gean Schneider (passed away in May 2024 at 96!). She was a pioneer in bringing massage therapy out of the darkness and into the light in Phoenix many years ago.
After becoming a massage therapist herself in the early 1970's, she had many visions for the massage therapy industry that came to fruition.
She and her husband (a chiropractor) opened the first fully accredited massage college in Phoenix in the early 1980's:
The Phoenix Therapeutic Massage College:
PTMC graduated hundreds of excellent massage therapists for many years, and was later sold. Two subsidiary companies employed the graduates:
The Clinic of Therapeutic Arts:
Provided chiropractic treatments combined with massage therapy for many years, with several treatment rooms fully booked on a regular basis.
Circulo Systems, Inc.:
Provided on-call massage therapists to most of the high-end resorts and health clubs in the Valley for many years.
We were established as being the forerunner in the industry at the time. Our strong commitment to establish higher standards and laws has helped to evolve the massage therapy industry into what it is known to be today: A highly respected and sought after preventative health care modality.
My Journey into Massage Therapy:
Prior to 1989, I worked in accounting for many years. My last employer was a local General Contractor, where I was responsible for all phases of construction accounting, payroll, and preparations for CPA's.
With a downturn in the economy, this company went out of business and my life changed. But that put me on an entirely different pathway, one that my mother had always encouraged me to take...
I went to massage college, and graduated from The Phoenix Therapeutic Massage College in 1989. I immediately began my career at The Village Racquet & Health Club, where I was an Independent Contractor, Lead Therapist, and the Operations Manager through October 2002.
With a change in ownership, I became a part-time employee from October 2002 - November 2006, and also worked independently as a solo practitioner.
Some time was spent working with Dr. Alan Abromovitz MD (Pain Specialist). Part of his success in treating chronic pain patients was including 3 massages per week into their treatment protocol. It was a rewarding experience to see how much they improved with regular massage!
A Touch of Balance Massage for Health became my full time focus in 2006, and it has become what I envisioned it to be!
In consistent practice for 35 years, and still going strong!
Establishing this many years in the massage industry doesn't come easy. Statistics say that only 5% of all therapists endure beyond 20 years. Alone, I have accumulated over 90,000 hours of hands on experience and I'm still counting!
Most of my progression and growth has not been learned in a classroom, but by working, experiencing, and being with so many different elements that have come my way as a long time massage therapist.
This is a field where one never stops learning, growing, and progressing. I engage in regular continuing education and I'm always doing some sort of self education associated with bodywork and healing.
My strong body, mind and spirit have allowed me to do a lot of hard physical work. With a lot of determination and gratitude, I strive to be my best, and I am committed to becoming even better with each passing year, so that I can pass it all along to you!
