TEAM — Recipero Massage & Wellness

GINNY REEVES

OWNER
Licensed Massage Therapist

Hi, I’m Ginny, the owner of Recipero Massage & Wellness. Ever since I received my first massage in 2004, I have made it my life goal to give back to my clients what I experienced that day–a feeling of renewed health; mind, body, and spirit. I graduated from Kee Business College in Newport News, VA. in 2005 with studies in Massage Therapy. Following graduation, I obtained my certification through the National Certified Board of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) in both 2005 and 2009. After being a licensed therapist in three different states, I furthered my national certification process by passing the Massage and Bodywork Licensing Exam (MBLEX) in 2012.

I have been working in the wellness industry as a Licensed Massage Therapist for 17 years helping clients experience restorative mobility, manage their stress and uncover the root causes of their pain. I opened Recipero Massage and Wellness in 2014 and have successfully created a team and operation that positively impacts the health and wellness of my community.  As a graduate of the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, I received a cutting edge education and training on holistic wellness and health coaching.  I have also battled my own chronic illness for over a decade.  I understand what it is like to be on a healing journey from both professional and personal standpoints. Through authenticity, my purpose is to be your supportive mentor who helps you feel your best through food and lifestyle changes and personalized one-on-one encouragement.  From gentle understanding and thoughtful determination, I am passionate about helping you reach your goals through caring and professional guidance and accountability.

(Ginny has been a member of the American Massage Therapy Association since 2005. She is available by appointment only.)

Celia Ladner

Licensed Massage Therapist

Hello! My name is Celia and I am a lifelong resident of the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

I have 13 years experience in many areas of the medical field working as a Medical Assistant, however, I knew I wasn’t where I was truly meant to be. In June 2018, I decided to make that change and do what I have always known I was destined to do – Massage Therapy!

I recently graduated from Blue Cliff College Gulfport Campus in October 2019. I am a member of the National Technical Honor Society and received my licensure through the Mississippi State License Exam.

I am a huge advocate of self care and promote every aspect of it at any given chance. Through personally receiving routine massage and my daily lifestyle changes, I can’t express the way massage has changed my life forever. I love knowing I can now educate others about this and am now able to help others receive the benefits I received through massage and wellness.

I specialize in Swedish, Deep Tissue, Hot Stone Massage and ear candling. I look forward to applying these current techniques to all my clients.

Amanda Walley

Licensed Massage Therapist /Reiki Master/Sound Healing Practitioner/Certified Yoga Instructor

Hi, I’m Amanda and holistic wellness and health is my passion. On my own journey I had never known myself to be physically, emotionally, or energetically “well”. It was difficult for me to remain physically present in and through the body and this led me to my first yoga class in 2016. Physically embodying all parts of myself and discharging the negativity I had struggled with for so long was empowering and transformational. As a result, I became a certified yoga instructor to spread the love and power of movement based practices. Along the way I became curious about the influence of energy within the body and have included Reiki and Sound Healing into my practice. Reiki eventually led me to purse other types of bodywork sessions and I studied Massage Therapy at MGCCC and graduated in May of 2024. As a Massage Therapist, I love both the anatomical and energetic understanding of the human body. In sessions, it is my goal to meet client needs and to help you feel relaxed, renewed, and refreshed.

Amanda is available for Reiki, Sound Healing, Swedish, and Therapeutic Massage sessions by appointment only.

Kurt Rusell

Licensed Massage Therapist/Craniosacral Specialist

Hi! My name is Kurt. My journey into massage therapy was sparked by my own healing experiences with massage and craniosacral therapy. I am passionate about helping others unlock their healing potential through effective, mindful massage techniques. In 2019, a transformative experience during an exercise session led to an inadvertent yet beneficial realignment of my spine, deepening my understanding of the powerful connection between mind and body.


My massage approach combines energy work, subtle tension realignment, and craniosacral therapy, all tailored to meet your individual needs through intuitive techniques. I focus on precise touches that deeply engage with the body's underlying structures and energies. Instead of relying on heavy pressure thoughtout, I strive to work in harmony with your body's natural rhythms to foster ongoing openness and improved alignment. This method is especially beneficial for those seeking deep muscular and fascial healing that continues to promote bodily harmony and well-being long after the session.

When I'm not practicing as a massage therapist, I'm likely drawing my comic book, playing basketball, enjoying music or games, or traveling with my wife of 24 years.
