Heidi’s journey began with a 650-hour Massage Therapy program in Madison, where she graduated in 1998, later becoming a teaching assistant. Relocating to Ann Arbor, Michigan, in February 2000, Heidi established her private practice, Heidi Johnson Massage, in 2002. In 2016, she rebranded as “Thrive Massage & Bodywork,” now with a team of 6 Licensed Massage Therapists at her Packard Street location. Thrive’s approach centers on commitment, connection, and care, prioritizing professionalism, client relationships, and high-quality sessions.

Heidi has treated numerous clients in Ann Arbor, attending continuous education workshops to maintain licensure and enhance her skills. Whether you seek relaxation, sports massage, or relief from pain and stress, Heidi tailors her technique to meet your needs, promoting freedom in your body and improved mobility.

Outside of work, Heidi engages in strength training, endurance activities, reading, knitting, and travel. Her spare time is filled with paddle boarding, swimming on local lakes, and beach outings on Lake Michigan. Her decade-long partnership with a personal trainer at the WCC Health and Fitness Center has not only strengthened her as a massage therapist but also provided valuable insights for educating clients on strength and injury recovery benefits.
