  • Breanna Eckley, LMT

Breanna Eckley, LMT

 NCBTMB #009986

 

Breanna Eckley, LMT, has had a lifelong passion for holistic health methods and a deep love of anatomical structure. She considers herself a bodyworker, combining traditional massage with other equally important aspects to natural health, including mind-body exercises, hydrotherapy, nutrition and herbalism. She describes her bodywork style as “where pampering meets science”.

Bre came to bodywork through her own physical trauma. In her career in the fine arts, the stress on both her body and spirit from long working hours, professional competition, heavy lifting, and travel took their toll.

Inspired by more natural ways of living she discovered while living in India and Hawaii, she sought relief through holistic methods, such as meditation, exercise and physical therapy, herbalism, and yoga. After years of research for her own self-care, she chose to dedicate her career to using her knowledge to help others.

During her clinical education, Bre worked with Benedetto Chiropractic Health Center, a comprehensive health clinic that focused on spinal health and neurology, treating multiple conditions, such as fibromyalgia, neuropathy, torticollis, myofascial pain syndrome, sciatica, and disc herniations. She has worked in various spas and chiropractic clinics in the Pocono and Lehigh Valley region, and was Administrative Assistant at Mountain Massage Inc., at Split Rock Resort. The desire to share her knowledge with others led her to instruct massage therapy at McCann School of Business and Technology in Allentown. Her education, experience, and passion eventually motivated her to launch her own massage clinic, at which she now accepts clients.

Jim Earley, LMT

 

NCBTMB Provider #1660

 

Jim Earley is entering his 30th year as an LMT and 11th year as an instructor. Jim teaches a variety of classes, including Sports Massage, Advanced Sports Massage, Event Sports Massage, Sports Stretching, Massage Tools for the Sports Massage Therapist, Pin and Release Techniques and Cupping. He currently works with 38 teams at 19 different colleges and universities and teaches Sports Massage classes as well to share knowledge he has learned with other therapists.

Jim has developed Cupping classes and has been teaching them for the past 4 years.  He has a Cupping 1 class, which is an introduction to Cupping Techniques, static and sliding, plastic vacuum and silicone cups. In this class, we focus on upper and lower body and the student will be comfortable performing cupping techniques at the end of the class.

Cupping 2 is the latest addition and includes Facial Cupping, Abdominal Cupping, and Cupping with Range of Motion.  Facial will be very useful for massage therapists and estheticians as the uses include spa (facelifting) and TMJ as well as sinus/lymph drainage. Cupping 2 also includes Cupping with Range of Motion for upper and lower body to aid in increased range of motion.

Cupping 3 is almost complete and will be ready to go this spring and will concentrate on cupping for various populations (mature aging, compromised clients).  It will use silicone cups only.

Cupping 4 is also in the works for next cycle.

Thanks for all your support!  Love having all of you in class!

  • Vicky Noll, LE, LMT, BCTMB, NSCA-CPT, RM, AP

  •  

  • NCBTMB# 1000658

  • Vicky initially began her career back in 2006 attending the Baltimore School of Massage. Upon entry she was given the option to study both massage therapy and physical fitness modeled by the National Strengthening and Conditioning Association (NSCA). It was there she was also introduced to and received her first Reiki attunement.

  • Shortly before graduating she became employed as a medical massage therapist. The experience and knowledge she gained allowed her to start her own business as she continued to develop and integrate her chosen specialties. Unfortunately, life happens and from 2009 through 2010 she was deployed to Iraqi Freedom through the Army Reserve. Upon returning from the war, she needed to get reestablished. As she was already a massage therapist, energy practitioner and NSCA certified fitness specialist, she decided she would combine and integrate her profession further.

  • She started by acquiring more schooling to become an esthetician (skin specialist) by attending the Lancaster School of Cosmetology. Upon completion she immediately furthered her education receiving considerable training which included the longest, most in depth laser training in the industry through the National Laser Institute. It was in 2014, after much training and working with clients both in massage and esthetics, that she created Beauty Beyond Fifty and became a holistic practitioner.

  • She very much enjoys her work and is excited to share her training, work experience and skill development within a class that will offer enhanced creativity and help promote longevity.
