Ali Salisbury, LMT | TN License #10698

Licensed Massage and Bodywork Practitioner
AMTA Member since 2006

Hello, my name is Ali Salisbury. I bring over 18 years of experience as a professional massage therapist and bodywork practitioner and have been a proud member of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) since 2006.

Originally from Detroit, Michigan, my journey has taken me through South Carolina and Kentucky before Tennessee became home in 2013—a place that truly captured my heart. I am the proud mother of two grown children and a grateful grandmother to two wonderful grandchildren. Outside of the treatment room, I enjoy staying active and grounded outdoors with my Siberian Huskies, Sebastian and Bella.

Philosophy & Approach

As a licensed massage therapist and bodywork practitioner, I believe in creating a safe, restorative, and supportive space where the body can soften, reset, and heal. My work is grounded in the understanding that when the nervous system feels at ease, the body responds more fully to therapeutic touch.

Through intentional movement and pressure, skeletal muscle tissue warms, allowing fascia to release and transition into a more fluid, gel-like state known as sol. This process improves mobility, reduces tension, enhances circulation, and supports lymphatic flow—nourishing the body on both structural and systemic levels.

Breath awareness and gentle guidance are often incorporated to support relaxation, energy balance, and a return to a neutral, grounded state. Each session is thoughtfully tailored to honor the individual, allowing space for both therapeutic change and deep rest.

And yes—therapy can be relaxing.
