Alexis

Founder, LMT

Alexis founded Salve Bodywork with a passion for helping people find lasting relief—not just temporary results. As an ABMP member and a therapist specializing in TMJ and intra-oral massage, she takes a thoughtful, individualized approach to every session. Her goal is to help clients make meaningful progress with each visit, ultimately reducing the need for frequent appointments so they can get back to living life with less pain and greater freedom.

Outside the treatment room, Alexis is a wife and proud mom to two energetic boys who keep life full of adventure. Family is at the heart of everything she does, and she strives to operate Salve Bodywork with the same values of compassion, integrity, and genuine care that she brings to her own home. She believes every client deserves to feel heard, supported, and cared for like family.

David

As co-owner of Salve Bodywork, David helps keep the business running behind the scenes so the client experience remains seamless from start to finish. From managing day-to-day operations to tackling the countless details that support the practice, his work allows the therapists to focus on what matters most—providing exceptional care. He is currently pursuing his massage therapy license and looks forward to serving clients in the treatment room in the near future.

A devoted husband and father of two, David shares the same commitment to family values that Salve was built on. He believes that genuine care, integrity, and serving others should be at the heart of every interaction, whether you're walking through the front door or leaving after your appointment.
