Essential Care Massage is owned and operated by Susan Eveland, LMT.   Susan has practiced Massage Therapy since graduating from Florida College of Natural Health in 1998.   She continues to enhance her skills through Continuing Education courses, and has accumulated over 1200 hours of training and clinical application.

Although she is most experienced in deep tissue massage, her approach is to combine a variety of advanced techniques, to address each client’s problem areas.  She works slowly and methodically, with deliberate concentration to achieve the desired change in tissue, and to help reduce stress and pain.
