Carrie has been an AMTA member for over 25 years and has been actively volunteering with the Michigan Chapter since 2013. Over the years she has been Delegate, Awards Committee Member, Chapter Secretary, 1st VP,  Membership Committee Chair, Financial Admin, and Education Committee Member. Carrie truly enjoys volunteering with the AMTA and has made lifelong friendships through it.  When Carrie is not running her Corporate Chair Massage business, she spends her free time gardening, canning, trying out new recipes, and occasionally Pet/House Sitting for friends and family.

Johaun has been in the massage industry for over 20 years. He had started as an ABMP member but has since transition to AMTA, and has no desire of leaving.  Johaun actively practices massage therapy in a variety of roles. He serves as a LMT in a chiropractic office, in-house at a local furniture manufacturer, a massage office,  and with his own massage business! Additionally, he provides massage for hospice patients.

Jodi started massage school on a whim in 2004 and began massaging professionally in 2006.  Her practice has had various focal points over the years including maternal massage and evidence-based orthopedic treatments.  In 2013, she started teaching part time, then full time in 2021 while still maintaining a small, home-based practice.  Jodi has enjoyed serving on several massage-related committees with AMTA, AFMTE and the Michigan Board of Massage Therapy.  She recharges her internal batteries by being in the woods and reading.  Jodi lives in Williamston with her husband and son on 2.5 wooded acres and does Wordle daily.  😉

Kathy has been an AMTA Member for over 30 years! A licensed massage therapist, she specializes in pain management, craniosacral and manual therapy. As an NCB Approved Continuing Education provider, Kathy has taught at local meetings, state and national conventions as well as creating online courses for AMTA.

She's been a volunteer for AMTA at the state and national levels, working on school committees, and is currently on the National Convention Education Committee. Since becoming the Michigan Chapter President in 2017, she's had a chance to meet many of our members and renew connections with former students. The friendships she's made and sense of fun she's found as a volunteer keep her active. Massage is a solitary profession; AMTA provides a community of caring therapists.
