MICHELLE AMAYA
MASSAGE THERAPIST
“Upon mediation, I discovered the need for a massage. During my first session, I discovered the occupation, and with research and study, I fell in love with the muscles and fascia.
I absolutely enjoy working with a wide terrain of clients knowing that every client is different but averagely the same in terms of anatomy. Following the muscles from start to finish to discover the root of the problem is pure satisfaction.
The wisdom passed by many instructors echoes while I practice and it leads to many relieved clients. I take pride in listening to my clients and giving them exactly what they ask for while palpating and discovering what their bodies need. Communicating what you feel and need with your therapist is key, and I gladly appreciate and welcome the feedback. I vow to continue to learn and strive to be the best me I can be.”
ALENA PUCKETT
MASSAGE THERAPIST
“My daughter used to experience frequent migraines. I wanted to avoid putting her on medications at such a young age and after someone had recommended massage as an alternative, we gave it a try. It was so beneficial in relieving her migraines and made me think ‘why don't I do this myself, to help people’. The more research I did on massage therapy, the more interested I became, so I took the leap and ended up falling in love with my chosen career path.”
Alena began her massage therapy career at Navarro College Waxahachie in 2014. She has spent the past 10 years in the spa industry focusing on bringing healing to clients through her massage. She has devoted much of her time into oncology massage and focusing on headache and migraine treatment.

ROBBYE DAVIS
SPA COORDINATOR
One of my favorite quotes was said by Elder Derek A. Cuthbert, "Service changes people. It refines, purifies, gives a finer perspective, and brings out the best in each one of us. It gets us looking outward instead of inward. It prompts us to consider others' needs ahead of our own.
For 37 years I have worked in many different jobs, doing many different things, but Customer Service has been a part of each one of those jobs in some aspect or another. It has always been important to provide service to others while doing my job to the best of my ability.
I have only been at Spa Face and Body as an employee for a short while but I have been a satisfied client since the very beginning. As one of the Spa Coordinators it is a daily goal to make your experience with us as relaxing and stress free as possible. I think taking time for yourself is so important and love the fact that we get to be a part of making that happen for you here at the Spa.
