Susan Novy LMT, RYT

My name is Susan Novy and I am a Florida Licensed Massage Therapist and a Kripalu Certified Yoga Teacher. Prior to moving to St. Augustine's beautiful Butler Beach, I owned a wellness center in North Carolina from 2000 - 2012. Utilizing both massage therapy and yoga therapy I have been helping people eliminate pain and stress since the summer of 2000.

I am trained in Swedish massage, Reflexology, Deep Tissue Massage, Acupressure, Ashiatsu, Prenatal/Pregnancy Massage, Infant Massage, Reiki and Cranio-sacral Therapy. I am currently studying Tom Myers structural integration and continue to take continuing education courses to offer my clients the most beneficial massage therapy techniques.

As a child I remember being paid a quarter to massage the shoulders of my father's bowling team. At $1.25 an evening, it was enough to play 25 songs on the juke box! I took my first massage course in the early 80's and continued to learn alternative healing modalities while working in the corporate environment. My resume includes international corporations where I've held positions as a Corporate Meeting Planner, Business Development Specialist and Regional Marketing Manager. After 15 years in corporate America I followed my heart and became a licensed massage therapist in July of 2000. With the entrepreneurial skills that came naturally as a young girl I created one of the busiest massage centers in Concord, North Carolina. In 2002 I combined my passion for for therapeutic bodywork and the performing arts and began providing massage therapy to both artists and stagehands in the entertainment industry.

A Washington, DC native I have lived in Vermont, Maine, Massachusetts, Indiana, Montreal, North Carolina and now Florida. I attended Indiana University, Vermont College, Blue Ridge Healing Arts Academy and Discovery Yoga Center.  My passions, other than the healing arts, include writing, a wide variety of music, yoga, traveling, seeking spiritual enlightenment and a challenging game of scrabble!
