Twalla T. Haley
In 1988, Twalla Haley changed her direction in life by attending the Reese institute of Massage Therapy in Oviedo, FL. After graduating in 1989, she obtained her FL license to practice massage therapy and has completed in excess of 3,000 hrs. of continuing education since 1991. She established Soothing Sensations Massage Therapy in 2005. Soothing Sensations offers a fine variety of massage therapy protocols and spa treatments.
Twalla’s focus has always been great customer service. She has taken professional classes that have given her more knowledge to assist her clients to reduce and/or eliminate pain. In 2006, when licensing began in GA, Twalla was the 150th therapist to receive her GA license. Some of the massage therapy modalities that Twalla has studied and uses frequently are neuromuscular therapy, lymphatic drainage, myofacial release, prenatal massage, reflexology, and cranial sacral therapy. Additionally, Soothing Sensations also features a beneficial new type of therapy known as Neural Reset Therapy.
Most recently, Twalla has studied extensively with Don McCann in Lutz, FL. She has found that his Structural Energetic Therapy has amazingly positive results for people with chronic pain issues. This new modality is advanced therapeutic rehabilitative bodywork that includes cranial/structural release protocols. The focal points of this modality are emotional energy release and deep tissue structural work to help clients return to pain-free living.
