Shiloh Tipping

Owner | Licensed Massage Therapist

I'm Shiloh Tipping, LMT, and as the owner and lead massage therapist at Athena Bodywork, I'm delighted to welcome you here!

 

My passion for massage therapy ignited during a transformative 1,000-hour full-time program at the Finger Lakes School of Massage in Ithaca, New York, where I immersed myself in the art and science of healing touch. Since 2008, I've had the privilege of being a licensed massage therapist, and it's been an incredible journey of learning, growth, and connection.

 

To me, massage is more than just a profession—it's a calling. I firmly believe in the body's remarkable capacity to heal when the nervous system is gently guided into a state of deep relaxation. With a deep understanding of kinesiology, anatomy, and physiology, I've honed advanced techniques that not only promote balance and healing but also create a space for rejuvenation and renewal.

 

At Athena Bodywork, my mission is to provide a sanctuary for all women to experience the transformative power of massage. Whether you're in need of tension relief, support on your wellness journey, or simply a tranquil moment of relaxation, I'm dedicated to personalizing every session to align with your individual needs and goals.

 

I can't wait to meet you, and embark on this journey toward wellness and vitality together.

Tatyana Mikhlina

Licensed Massage Therapist

My name is Tatyana, and my deep-rooted passion for holistic health has shaped both my personal and professional life. I obtained my certification from the East West College of the Healing Arts in Portland in 2019, and have since honed my knowledge and massage therapy skills at both chiropractic and spa settings. 

 

My clients seek me out for a harmonious blend of relaxation massage intertwined with the therapeutic depth of deep tissue work. I incorporate various massage techniques in my practice, including myofascial release, deep tissue massage, Swedish massage, and hot stone massage. Whether you seek a deeply relaxing full-body massage experience, or focused treatment for pain relief and injury rehabilitation, I am committed to providing you with the exceptional care you deserve.

 

My professional passion is to assist my clients in achieving a state of inner and outer balance, vibrant living, and pain-free wellness. I am dedicated to helping you find your way back home to a place of harmony and well-being.

 

When I’m not in the massage studio, you’ll find me busy creating handcrafted jewelry, or designing clothing and sewing new garments.

 

I provide massage with Athena Bodywork on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday afternoon/evenings, and Sunday afternoons.

Emma Martin

Licensed Massage Therapist

My name is Emma Martin, and I believe massage therapy offers something many of us need more of: time and space to slow down, reconnect with our bodies, and receive care.


After completing a 700-hour massage therapy program at the Sedona School of Massage in Arizona, I began building a practice centered on thoughtful, individualized bodywork. Since becoming licensed in 2017, I have had the privilege of working with hundreds of clients, helping them find relief from chronic tension,
stress, caregiving demands, desk work, athletic pursuits, and the many ways modern life asks us to push through discomfort.

 

My work blends therapeutic effectiveness with deep relaxation. Using slow, focused pressure, myofascial techniques, and gentle movement and mobilization, I tailor every session to your unique needs and goals. Whether you are seeking focused work for persistent areas of tension or simply a chance to rest and recharge, my intention is to create a treatment that feels both restorative and effective. I am passionate about creating a welcoming environment where clients feel genuinely seen, supported, and cared for. I believe the best massage is never one-size-fits-all, and I strive to meet each person exactly where they are on any given day. My goal is for you to leave feeling more comfortable, balanced, and at home in your body.
 

Outside the studio, you might find me flowing through a yoga practice, chasing a pickleball across the court, filling my basket with flowers and veggies at a local farmers market, or making my way through a towering stack of library books.
