My name is Andrea Morse
and my passion is Massage Therapy

My name is Andrea Morse and I have a passion for Massage Therapy. After graduating with over 500 hours of massage and bodywork from the Massage Therapy Institute of Missouri in 2005, I continued to apply my training and skills before opening my own private practice at Cherry Hill Massage in September 2006. Since then I have had the pleasure of working with bikers, runners, and gymnasts, as well as the Missouri Swim Team. I have also worked with many other local people looking to improve their quality of life or address an ailment from which they may be suffering. Having run the Nashville Half Marathon myself, I am aware of the need for quality training and conditioning for athletes. I strive to be active in the community as well as assist local charities and I am proud to consider Columbia my home.

My approach to massage is one that includes clinical modalities such as deep tissue and myofascial release without neglecting the healing powers of deep relaxation through Swedish techniques.  My intent is to calm the mind, rejuvenate the body and nourish the soul to help your body heal itself.  Having experience in both a wellness spa and in a clinical environment, I am happy and proud to bring my diverse experience to Cherry Hill Massage where I plan to flourish.  I graduated from the University of Missouri in 1999 with a Bachelor's Degree in Art History and Archaeology and from the Massage Therapy Institute of Missouri in 2006. I am certified by Carole Osborne-Sheets in pre- and perinatal massage and trained in myofascial release with John F. Barnes, PT.

My beliefs in massage are to help one feel better and alleviate their problems to improve their physical health. As a graduate from the massage therapy program at Metro Business College in June 2009, I joined the Cherry Hill Massage team. The education and training I received during my clinics helped me grow into the therapist I want to be. I am glad to have the opportunity to offer my skills and give people the benefits of a therapeutic massage.

Massage therapy inspires me to live my best life. I was severely injured in a car accident at 17 and my life was turned upside down. Repeated illness and surgery kept me from finishing my bachelor’s degree in health and fitness, which in turn led me to massage therapy. Conventional medicine saved my life, but massage therapy saved my soul. I graduated from the massage therapy institute of Missouri in 2003. I have since completed workshops in clinical flexibility and therapeutic exercise, headaches-types, triggers and treatment, as well as fibromyalgia. I also receive regular massages and continually learn from my colleagues. My intention is to create a unique and personalized experience based on the needs and goals of the client. I also enjoy working on-site with a specialized massage chair to provide 10-15 minute massages at parties, meetings, or just to break up the work day.
