About Our Massage Therapists

Pat Rooney, Massage Therapist

Pat's career started as a massage therapist in 1994 at the Riverside Wellness's Fit Stop. Pat and her husband along with their four children moved to New Mexico for two years with the military in 2004. Upon her husband's retirement from the Air Force, Pat and her family returned to Newport News in 2006, a place she comfortably calls home.

Pat has been participating in the yoga practices at the studio and happened upon a conversation noting that another massage therapist was needed to fill the needs of our clients. Pat's true calling is healing massage to enhance people's health and reduce stress. Her level of expertise is Swedish which is a relaxing and stress relieving massage to promote tension relief and relaxation. (Pat knew from childhood she was destined to be in the massage industry rubbing her mother's feet while she napped enjoying the reflexology before it was so popular!). We are thrilled Pat has joined our team and hope you'll be as pleased as we are to have her!

She also studied Matrix Energetics levels I and II with Dr. Richard Bartlett in San Francisco.

Teresa invites you to start your journey of maintaining balance of body and mind at the Hot Yoga and Massage Studio, where she practices Reiki, Reflexology, Shiatsu, Swedish massage, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point Therapy, and Matrix Energetics.

Outside of the studio she enjoys meditating with her two kitties and dog as well as giving them Reiki sessions.

Teresa is available nights and weekends.

Katelyn Robinson, Massage Therapist

After an ACL injury prevented her from returning to the ski industry, Katelyn found herself with the time to finally become the massage therapist she'd always known she wanted to be. She studied at the Virginia School of Massage in Charlottesville, Va. There she was introduced to over a dozen different massage modalities including Swedish, Deep Tissue, Cranial Sacral, and Shiatsu. She believes that the best way to maximize health and happiness is through proper body and energy alignment, and would like to share what she has learned with you in session.

When she's not working, Katelyn enjoys being outdoors, especially in winter. She also loves to read, do puzzles, crosswords, and watch episodes of the original series of Law & Order.
