About Us: Freedom Massage

At Freedom Massage, our mission has always been simple: to create a space where wellness is accessible, down-to-earth, and truly beneficial for everyone. We’re not about fluff, gimmicks, or "hippy-dippy" wellness trends that feel out of reach — we're here for real people, with real bodies, living real lives. Our approach? Grounded in holistic care that’s both thoughtful and practical. Wellness without the BS.

Founded by Ellie Paulino, a massage therapist with over 15 years of experience, Freedom Massage started as a vision for something different: a wellness space that not only prioritizes clients' health and well-being but also respects and fairly compensates the hardworking therapists behind every session. Ellie’s specialty in prenatal massage, combined with her certifications in lymphatic drainage and her experience as a Doula, gave her the foundation to build a practice rooted in compassionate care for everyone who walks through our doors.

In 2019, Ellie partnered with Jon Trapula to grow Freedom Massage into something more. Together, they’ve built a team of talented, passionate therapists who share the same core values: providing thoughtful, customized care to clients while creating a supportive, nurturing environment for both clients and staff. At Freedom Massage, we’re a team — and that energy flows into every massage we provide.

We’re not just a business; we’re a community. We believe that wellness should be approachable and judgment-free. Whether you’re here to relax, recover, or reconnect with your body, we’ve got your back (literally and figuratively).

Our Core Values

  • Accessibility

    Wellness shouldn’t be a luxury or feel out of reach. We work hard to create an inclusive space that welcomes people from all walks of life, no matter where they are on their wellness journey.

  • Integrity

    We believe in being real, honest, and transparent. From fair pay for our therapists to straightforward communication with clients, we prioritize doing the right thing — always.

  • Growth

    We’re committed to continuous growth, fostering both personal and team development to ensure we provide the highest level of care and thrive together as a connected community.
