Our Awesome Massage Team
Molly Aronson, LMT
Licensed Massage Therapist
Molly started her holistic wellness path when she completed her Yoga Teacher Training. She was then inspired to become a Massage Therapist and Reiki Practitioner. This led her to return to Colorado where she completed her education at the Boulder Massage Therapy Institute. She also attained her Reiki levels 1 and 2 training during that time.
Josh Leary, LMT, RMT
Licensed Massage Therapist, Reiki Master Teacher
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
Licensed Massage Therapist, Reiki Master Teacher
Nikki is delighted to be returning to Thrive CommUnity Acupuncture to offer Lymphatic Massage as well as energy work! 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. Nikki also offers Reiki and Integrative Alignment Energy Work.
