Without further ado, we present to you...us...

​

Roberta Dziugaite, LMT (MT010978): 

Roberta was born and raised in Panevėžys, Lithuania.  She has a heart for helping all living beings, big or small, significant (in the food chain) or not. She grew up spending time with friends and family experiencing Eastern European saunas, Platza massage, and healing rituals traditional of pagan lore.  It is her love for promotion of well-being combined with her knowledge of healing practices that brought her to a career in massage therapy.   She completed her massage therapist education at the Atlanta School of Massage, receiving certifications in Swedish and deep tissue therapy, neuromuscular therapy, spa therapies, reflexology, and seated massage.  Since becoming a massage therapist, Roberta has worked in several of Atlanta's most well-respected spas, chiropractic offices, and with professional athletes.  Roberta has always been amongst the most requested therapists in all of her places of employ.  This is as a result of her ability to listen to not only what a guest requests, but also what the body needs in her intuitive approach to delivering the perfect experience each time.  Because of her inquiring mind and her need to help people to the best of her ability, Roberta has completed additional training in Ashiatsu, aromatherapy, and Reiki. As a licensed massage therapist, Roberta is excited to promote health and wellness in others through therapeutic bodywork.  When she is not practicing as a massage therapist, she can be found saving tiny baby, innocent snails along their paths crossing the beltline after the rain.

Meghan McDaniel, PT, DPT, LMT (MT010972):

Meghan McDaniel is both a physical therapist and massage therapist. Growing up as an athlete and witnessing countless injuries, collisions, and other calamities on and off the playing field, Meghan knew she wanted to be involved in the medical field. She received a Bachelor of Science in Public Health at Clemson University and her Doctor of Physical Therapy from Duke University.  (Go Tigers and Devils, respectively!) After having worked as a physical therapist for many years, Meghan realized she wanted to expand upon her career (and away from the dictates of insurance companies) and become a massage therapist.  She completed her massage therapist education at Atlanta School of Massage with certifications in Swedish and deep tissue therapy, neuromuscular therapy, spa therapies, reflexology, and seated massage.  She has had continued education in functional mobilization, myofascial release, and Ashiatsu.  She combines her unique skills as both a physical therapist and massage therapist to provide custom, client-centered bodywork.  Meghan believes, "Touching hands are not like pharmaceuticals or scalpels.  They are like flashlights in a darkened room.  The medicine they administer is self-awareness.  And for many of our painful conditions, this is the aid that is most urgently needed"(Juhan, Deane).
