Amy Schmitt is a licensed massage therapist and owner of Essential Massage by Amy, LLC, located in Shreveport, Louisiana near LSUS. Her path to massage therapy began after a back injury in 2006 that inspired her to explore natural healing methods, including massage, chiropractic care, acupuncture, and nutrition. That personal journey of recovery led her to pursue formal training in massage therapy, beginning in 2015. Amy combines Swedish and deep tissue techniques with complementary modalities such as hot stones and myofascial cupping to deliver customized sessions tailored to each client's unique needs. She works with athletes, office professionals, expectant mothers, and anyone seeking improved physical and emotional well-being through therapeutic massage.
