  • Jocelyn Terry
    Jocelyn Terry LMT

    Jocelyn gave her first “ massage' as a child by walking on her Aunt’s back who had chronic back pain. At the time she didn’t realize the relief it gave her, but she enjoyed the task. Later, during her childhood, she found herself regularly massaging her mom’s arm due to her carpal tunnel. She was always willing and ready to lend a helping hand to family and from that grew a passion for healing people by using her hands.

    Jocelyn graduated from Georgia Southern University and earned a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology (Exercise Science Major 2010). After receiving her degree, she became more interested in alternative therapies and later attended Georgia Massage School (2015) where she was able to learn the skills to become a Licensed Massage Therapist.

    With her love for helping people and her enjoyment of sports, Jocelyn wanted a career where she could combine both. Becoming a massage therapist allowed her to help the chronic back pain patient, the carpal tunnel patient, the athlete patient, and everyone in between in alleviating muscular-related issues.

    As an Atlanta native, outside of Massage Therapy, Jocelyn loves staying active, exploring the city to find things and places new and old, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.
