Licensed Massage Therapist and Doula: Elissa Robinson
Elissa is a Licensed Massage Therapist and Doula with a passion for empowering clients to understand their bodies, health, options, and bodily autonomy. She has worked in a variety of settings including spa, chiropractic office, gym, university athletics, and private practice. In addition to seeing clients for therapeutic massage, she specializes in prenatal, labor support, and postpartum massage that addresses individual and pregnancy-specific discomforts to help to align and prepare the body for childbirth and recovering afterward.
Interested in booking a massage?! (Fun fact, Napp Co-Founders booked a couple’s massage back in Dec - hehe - and IT ROCKED!)
We came across the lovely Elissa through BFIT which is right across from the Emerging Technology Center (where Napp had office space for 3 years pre-Covid). BFIT is all about the community, plus the staff is filled with awesome, blooming entrepreneurs (our favorite!). From supporting other small businesses to their Highlandtown Clean Ups, the BFIT fam is definitely worth checking out!
Elissa started with BFIT about a year ago and when we found out she was a doula we knew we had to chat! In addition to seeing clients for therapeutic massage, she specializes in prenatal, labor support, and postpartum massage that addresses individual and pregnancy-specific discomforts to help to align and prepare the body for childbirth and recovering afterward. Elissa completed the full-spectrum Dynamo Doula Training in 2020. Prior to her career shift to health and wellness, Elissa earned a B.A. in Sociology with minors in Psychology and Family Studies.
