The Back Story:

Lori graduated from the Indigo School of Massage (Parkersburg, WV) in 2001 and was immediately hired upon graduation by Dr. Heather. As they say, the rest is history. Lori has been an integral part of our team since 2001 and continues to provide our patients with one of the best deep tissue therapeutic massages that we know of in the MOV.

Lori took a hiatus from McCarter Health Center in 2009 and followed her husband, Travis, to North Carolina. She worked as a massage therapist for a chiropractor that expanded her education to nutrition seminars and patient care. Lori developed her nutrition assistant regimen while in North Carolina, fine tuning her knowledge for Standard Process Whole Food Nutrition products and protocols. Lori returned in 2018 after years of Dr. Heather telling her “you’ll be back.”

She returned to her original stomping grounds again in September of 2018 and we haven’t looked back. She is Dr. Heather’s right hand woman-working together to help improve your range of motion, reduce nerve root impingement and radiculopathy, reduce pain, release stress, and heal your joint and muscle tissues. Therapeutic massage works to release deep adhesions within the muscles which reduces joint pressure, nerve pressure, and pain. You will not be disappointed.

Lori is married to Travis, and they live with their two children, Ember and Lodi, in Parkersburg, WV, along with their dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, birds, and (only one) rabbit, lol. Lori also enjoys her stepdaughter, River, who is in college at UNC-Wilmington.

Her hobbies and interests are diverse; she spent years volunteering at the humane society, volunteering at her children’s school, hanging out with her family, listening to heavy metal music, and anything that is eccentric. She loves her herb garden, studying nutrition, expanding her techniques, and creating adventures with her kiddos.
