Ariana S. Gunter, LMT

Ariana joined the Unlocking The Body (UTB) team in October 2023, bringing remarkable skill and dedication to her role as a massage therapist. While she recently graduated from the Tacoma Northwest Academy for the Healing Arts, her natural talent and ability might lead you to believe she has been practicing for years. Her journey into massage therapy was fueled by a desire to embrace a career focused on holistic healing and addressing the root causes of pain, rather than just treating symptoms.

Ariana shares, “I like knowing that I can help someone feel better and decrease the pain they have in their daily lives. I enjoy the work I give to the world and hope to learn more ways to better my abilities to help heal others through touch.”

Her massage style seamlessly combines Neuromuscular Re-Education, Trigger Point Therapy, and Myofascial Release techniques. Ariana specializes in working with muscle memory, helping clients reset and establish healthier movement pathways. While her expertise lies in therapeutic treatment, she also finds joy in providing Swedish and Relaxation massages, catering to a wide range of client needs.

Eager to expand her skill set, Ariana plans to pursue additional training in Lymphatic Massage, Intraoral Massage, and advanced Neuromuscular Re-Education techniques in the coming year.

Beyond her professional life, Ariana finds joy in rockhounding, gardening, and drawing. She treasures spending quality time with her friends and family, nurturing connections that fuel her passion for life and work.
