Anna started Rockwall Medical Massage to work collaboratively with Rockwall’s medical community to maximize her client’s health and well-being.

Anna is also certified in the Chikly Method of Lymphatic Drainage Therapy and ACE massage cupping and MediCupping.
She spent the beginning of her career working with doctors and chiropractors. After moving to Rockwall, she worked at Every Body Massage with a great group of therapists. In 2009, she began working with kids with spasticity disorders. Although Anna had never worked with this population before, she learned there is a big need for therapists willing to serve kids in outlying areas. To grow as a therapist and serve her clients better, she completed 300 hours of training in medical massage as well as an internship at Children’s Medical Center of Dallas.

Brandy Lancione, LMT
MT # 139228
Brandy is a recent addition to the RMM family and we are just thrilled about it! Brandy chose to study at Parker University because it would give her “the greatest challenge”. Parker is a highly rated, rigorous University. In addition to the 500-hour course, Brandy completed an additional 100 hours of training and has completed 80 internship hours.
Brandy’s style is to focus on really listening- both to how her clients share about their problem areas and to what their bodies are telling her. She gains immense satisfaction seeing her clients leave our practice feeling “lighter”. She cares deeply about her life path and wants to “live in the solution”. Help us welcome her by scheduling and letting her show you her talent.
Amy Weber, LMT ,MMP, Reiki
MT # 046620
In 1991 Amy graduated from Emporia State University in Kansas and spent several years working in the printing industry. However, her compassion for others ultimately inspired her to make a career change. In 2004 she graduated from Hands On Therapy School of Massage in Mesquite. Amy is certified in Deep Tissue, Trigger Point Therapy, Medical Massage, Myofascial Release, and Sports Massage. Amy is also certified in CranioSacral therapy from the Upledger Institute.
Amy is also a Level Three practitioner of Reiki, which studies the flow of the body’s energy and brings it into balance using a light touch. This practice reduces energetic and emotional blockages that are a result of stress and/or trauma and supports the natural flow of the body’s energy centers. Amy believes that massage therapy can be an unexpected solution to many of the body’s general aches, pains, and dysfunctions. It is a simple way to receive great relief without long-term negative side effects. In her experience she tends to find that less is more, which is why she is attracted to light touch work such as CranioSacral therapy and Reiki energy work. In her spare time Amy enjoys painting, drawing, and working with her horses and dogs. She is also a huge fan of college basketball. Go Jayhawks!

Matthew Aaron, LMT, MMP
MT # 106549
Matthew has been a licensed massage therapist for 16 years. He incorporates reflexology into his approach, looking for clues from the hands, feet, and ears to guide the massage. Our hands, feet, and ears can point to problems in the body that we might not automatically associate with our pain.
“Pain is the body’s alarm system signaling that something needs attention,” says Matthew. His approach is tender, always looking for feedback from his customers. He’s dedicated to making sure that you get the massage experience that you want.

Jason Manion, LMT
MT # 038044
Jason is a lifelong learner. His 22 years of experience and varied background allow him to address chronic issues with great success. He has a wonderful education path learning about the body from different perspectives.
He found himself studying acupuncture and then chiropractic. He was an older student with years of massage under his belt and a strong grasp on anatomy and physiology- you know, the one asking all the questions in class and following the teacher down the hallway. Though he didn’t pursue a career path in those disciplines, he gained valuable insights from those years of cross-training that benefit him as an LMT. Jason is nothing if not enthusiastic about what he does and is still always eager to learn more.
With each massage session, Jason looks for the source of the issue. In addressing the root cause, he gives his clients the best chance at recovery. “Our bodies are tricky and influenced by our genetics, injuries, surgeries, diet, lifestyle, and stress” says Jason. He has a very deep understanding of how the body works and his customers benefit from his range and experience.
Jason is married, a father to 2 daughters, and is a hobby tinkerer.
