Meet Our Massage Team!

Jill Davies, LMT, RMT

​​Jill was born and raised here in Northern Colorado. Immediately after finishing High school she knew that a holistic and natural path of healing was for her. She attended The Healing Arts Institute and graduated in 2002. Since then she has been committed to continuing her journey of more than fifteen years of practice within the healing arts.

Jill specializes within the fields of Prenatal/Obstetric Massage, Injury Rehabilitation, Aromatherapy, and overall wellness using a multitude of massage modalities. Her passion shows through when she sees the results and peace of mind in her clients.

The proud mother of her little boys, Jill is kept very busy at home and is often on the run. When she isn’t doing therapeutic massage therapy, Jill enjoys her hobbies which include singing, hiking, swimming and yoga. She always strives to find joy and meaning within the “little things” that life has to offer. Jill loves working at Thrive Community Acupuncture and looks forward to sharing the art of massage with you!

Josh Leary, LMT, RMT

Josh has been practicing Massage Therapy and Reiki Energy Work since 2015. During his time at Pittsburgh School of Massage Therapy, he studied a variety of massage modalities, which allows him to customize your massage to best align with how your body receives.

Josh keeps up with new ways of approaching massage and energy work and integrating what works for you and your body. He works to get to the root of the physical dysfunction, meaning your jaw pain might be caused by an imbalance in your hips or feet. Josh is very excited to be a member of the team at Thrive and to work with this amazing community of clients!

Nikki Schmidt, LMT, RMT

Nikki is delighted to be returning to Thrive CommUnity Acupuncture to offer Lymphatic Massage! In 2020, Nikki experienced an intense and humbling healing journey with her own health. Connecting with the body and believing the body has the innate wisdom to heal, she embarked on a deep journey of surrender, embodying personal empowerment and becoming the most potent version of herself she has been. Her passion is to share with others ways they can connect with their own inner healer to create harmony within themselves.

While Nikki has extensive experience with massage therapy techniques, at Thrive she will be offering Lymphatic Massage which is a special gentle massage therapy to assist the lymph system to work more efficiently. This can help build immunity and also improve lymphatic drainage where there is compromised mobility. While Lymphatic Massage is often recommended for patients recovering from surgery or injuries, it is actually beneficial for anyone who wants to support this vital system for optical wellness.
