Jess is the owner and founder of Optimal Therapeutics. She has specialized in sports and injury rehabilitation as well as prenatal fitness and massage over the last 17 years. Her work with Major League Soccer, Alliance of American Football, NFL and Combine athletes, along with their professional medical staff has helped her passion for providing optimal movement grow. This passion has also grown into working with the young athletes, allowing their bodies to properly recover from their strenuous training and allowing them to continue playing with less chance of injury. 

With her extensive knowledge and trainings over the years, she decided to put together the apprentice program here to be able to help train and mentor the new generation of massage therapists. She has also created some educational community classes, as well as continuing education classes for licensed therapists.

Along with her professional titles, she's also a wife and mother to 2. Weekends are spent with her family, at sporting events, enjoying the outdoors, or traveling with her daughter for cheer competitions. 

Licensed Massage Therapist

Amber is a passionate and professional massage therapist with a zest for life! She's lived in the Salt Lake Valley all of her life and absolutely loves it. She's a happily married wife and a mother to one amazing young man. Her family enjoys a variety of outdoor activities all year round. During the warmer weather they love to go camping, hiking, hunting and fishing. During the winter months they go sledding and often go ice fishing, sometimes even staying out on the ice overnight!

When she's not out having fun with her family, she loves getting to work with some pretty amazing people as a licensed massage therapist and couldn't imagine a more rewarding career.

She found her passion for massage at the age of just 13 years old when she discovered it was something she was naturally talented in. That passion quickly grew as she learned more and more about the many benefits of massage therapy and how it can really help people from all walks of life! She has been a licensed massage therapist for 12 years now, specializing in sports and injury massage, and prenatal massage. She loves working with a variety of people, from professional athletes to weekend warriors to the average Joe who needs some stress relief. She's so grateful to have found a career that both continuously feeds her passion and allows her to help others live their best lives. Just knowing that she can help someone achieve their goals and make a positive impact in someone's life is incredibly fulfilling for her.
