Licensed massage therapist Terry Johnson has opened Balanced Wellness Massage Therapy at the Salon and Spa Galleria South Cooper in Arlington, Texas. Johnson's practice focuses on the therapeutic benefits of massage, aiming to improve both mental and physical well-being.
Johnson, who has three years of experience, trained at Tarrant County College and refined her skills in Thailand. There, she learned that effective massage relies on continuous, uninterrupted touch. "The body doesn't open through force. It opens through trust," she said, recalling her teacher's philosophy. This approach involves warming the body slowly and maintaining contact throughout the session, allowing the nervous system to relax and enabling deeper work without resistance.
"By the end of the session, it's not just that your body feels better. It feels reset," Johnson said. She describes her method as a flowing rhythm that helps clients lose track of time and achieve a state between sleep and waking.
Balanced Wellness Massage Therapy is accepting new clients by appointment only. Salon hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, with flexibility for clients who need appointments outside these hours. Johnson can be reached at (817) 800-7940 for questions or to schedule a session.
The salon is conveniently located near major interchanges and roadways, serving the Pantego, Dalworthington Gardens, Mansfield, and Kennedale areas. Free parking is available, and the building is handicap accessible.
