For Josey, great bodywork begins with trust. She listens closely and respects your boundaries, physical and emotional, because that is what allows you to truly let go. Some guests come in for tension relief and find something deeper waiting, and she holds space for whatever the session brings. You will find her at Bella Trio Studio at American Tobacco Campus in Downtown Durham, and one day a week at Bella Trio Salon and Spa at Sutton Station, our RTP location in Durham.

Her modalities include Swedish, deep tissue, cupping, prenatal, and warm stone massage, along with reflexology and lymphatic work. Every one of them can be tailored to you, and helping you land on the right type of massage for what your body actually needs is a real point of pride for her. Your session takes place in a comfortable, private room built for calm, and she keeps it personal, educational, and even a little fun.

Here is what she wants you to know: massage is not a luxury reserved for the rich and famous. It is genuine self care and a real part of your well being. If you have ever wondered whether you deserve a regular massage, Josey's answer is yes, and she is happy to help you understand why. She will also send you home with simple things you can do between sessions, from soothing oils like castor oil to using a tennis ball to release stubborn tension at your desk.

A lifelong learner, Josey attends continuing education courses every year to stay current on new modalities, because staying sharp is how she keeps every session about you and what you need.

Fun facts: Josey was born in Durham and loves supporting her city, from the Carolina Theater and DPAC to local festivals and the farmers market. She hikes every trail she can find and never turns down live music or a good play.
