Meet Amber Lovin: Massage Therapist with a Mission

Over 12 years ago, a survey titled “Living Your Strengths” pointed Amber Lovin toward her dream career. Amber’s number one strength was empathy which really translates well into massage therapy.  In her dedication to healing arts, Amber shared that, “there is nothing more satisfying to me than to do a massage session with a client and by the end of the session being able to truly feel how I have helped them.” Her mission is one of service.

Before offering her services at Shannondale, Amber previously worked with a chiropractor, in a day spa and at Blackberry Farms. As an independent contractor, Amber sets a cap on the number of clients she can serve so that she can remain accessible and flexible for them. Residents at Shannondale are now among those fortunate to receive Amber’s expertly trained and delivered medicinal touch.

Amber Lovin the Wife, Mom, and Farmer

Amber’s husband is a native Knoxvillian, and she originally hails from Morgan County. In 2016, the family moved to a mini farm in Kingston. Although they had cows in the past, they currently house and care for two Australian Shepherds, three barn cats, five chickens, and a dozen beehives. Amber’s one son is 19-years old and very recently joined the Air Force. The thriving garden also provides the family with fresh produce. Amber’s mission of service to others is evident in her home, on their farm and in her massage therapy work.

Services Offered and Their Benefits

Amber began opening sessions one day a week to residents at Shannondale, and in response to the high level of interest, she has added a second day of services. Two days a week Amber delivers what she calls “intuitive massage” to her clients. Intuitive massage is tailored to each individual- more pressure is applied where needed, and less pressure where not as necessary. Amber offers both one-hour massages and 30-minute focused massages (that target specific areas). She also incorporates passive stretching for clients while on her massage table. Amber is so thankful to be serving the population at Shannondale and highlights the following as important benefits of her work:

• Increased circulation and blood flow
• Decreased feelings of depression
• Lowered blood pressure
• Improved mobility
• Loosened muscles
