Louann Cranford BS, LMT, MMP, CLP, ACMT graduated in December 1998 with honors from the Skilled Touch Program of Wellness Skills, Inc., located in Fort Worth, TX. She received her permanent massage therapy license in June 1999 from the Texas Department of State Health Services and is also a certified member (ACMT) of Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP).

In addition to her massage therapy training and certifications, Louann is also a graduate of Tarleton State University, Stephenville, TX with a BS Degree in Business Education. She became a high school business teacher and taught for 6 years before entering the business world as an executive assistant. Her experience in a variety of industries gives her extensive knowledge of the multiple positions used to perform tasks in the workplace. This knowledge enhances her ability to envision various muscle movements and reactions that may lead to stresses, strains, sprains, and tension. The ability to identify repetitive muscle movement assists her in finding the proper ways to help clients overcome those restrictions that cause pain. In fact, some of her clients refer to her as "Magic Hands."
Louann's strong belief in continuing education has resulted in extensive advanced training that she believes assists her clients to live life to the fullest and furthers her quest of being the best possible therapist. She began advanced training immediately upon graduation and continues to carefully select courses in order to be a knowledgeable resource for her clients.
