Hyla Therapeutic Massage

Jenny Burgess named her massage studio "Hyla" in honor of the tree frogs she remembers from her youth in Haywood County. To her, these frogs symbolize nature’s ability to soothe and renew the senses, which isn’t so different from what she does with her therapeutic massages. A licensed massage therapist and a member of the first graduating class of Haywood Community College's therapeutic massage program, Burgess maintains a strong emotional connection to the area in which she grew up. Perhaps that’s why local residents feel so at ease with her as she relaxes their tensions with massages that draw on hot-stone, deep-tissue, reflexology, and reiki modalities.
