Massage by Amy Gallagher Massey, Asheville, NC (2026)

What a year it’s been! I hope your holiday season has been and continues to be full of love and joy. As we move toward the new year, I have a big announcement to share: As of March of 2026, I will be stepping back from my massage practice and shifting my full focus onto my art career and spending some more time with my loved ones. I’ve been professionally practicing massage for nearly 11 years, and it has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my life. The amount of growth, connection, and joy this practice has brought me is unparalleled, and for that I am so incredibly thankful!

Because the spots I have remaining through December, January and February are limited, I will not be selling any more gift certificates this season and I’ll be closing my “Book Online” feature so that I can book established clients directly via email or text. If you’d like to schedule a massage, please reach out to me ASAP so that we can find a time slot that works for you. As we get closer to March, I will be sharing a list of other local massage therapists that I trust and highly recommend you check out. Feel free to reach out to me directly for any specific referrals in the meantime.

I appreciate you all infinitely, especially those of you who have been a part of my journey for several years. Thank you for all of the trust, connection, and care we have shared! It truly means so much to me.

If you are curious to follow my art career as a watercolor painter, you can follow me . Feel free to drop in to see me in person anytime as well, in my open studio and gallery at Wedge Studios in Asheville’s River Arts District!

Thank you, take care, and happy holidays to you all!

BOOKINGS CANCELLED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE—
I’m so grateful to say my family and home are safe, though my heart is breaking over so much devastation within our little community. Until both power and water are restored, I’ll be unable to offer massage services. My cell phone and internet receptions are extremely spotty, so please disregard any booking notifications that may still be going out and know that ALL scheduled sessions are cancelled for the time being, unless I reach out to you directly via my personal email or phone to tell you otherwise.

I am sending love to all of you and praying that all of my clients are safe and dry. Take care and I hope to see you soon ♥️

In case you don’t get my email updates, transition seems to be the name of the game this year. After a number of challenges and shifts, I made the choice to let go of the suite on Charlotte Street that I’ve lovingly been inhabiting for the last 1.5 years, and have landed softly into a sweet new massage space, a few minutes away on Orange Street. This new space is cozy, quiet and grounding, and I have a feeling it will hold a beautiful sense of space for many nurturing massages to come!

My hours have shifted a bit too, with earlier morning availability on Mondays and Tuesdays, and later evening availability on Mondays as well. Booking online is the easiest way to get on my schedule, but if you are hoping to get in sooner than my schedule allows, you can always reach out directly to get on my waitlist! I will also post last minute openings here, in my stories.

I hope you’ve been well and can’t wait to share my new space with you!

“I recommend Amy to all of my friends! I’ve had dozens of massages over the years, and Amy has been one of the best. I feel calm, relaxed, and grounded during and after each appointment, and she’s always open to helping me find relief for any aches/pains I may have. The care, knowledge, and passion is palpable 💛 you’re in good hands!” —Chloe G

I’m so grateful to be able to do this work, and so very thankful for my clients who take the time to share their experiences 🌿

Hot stones are here! For 2024 I’m bringing the warmth with this soothing add on. Hot stones enhance the benefits of massage by boosting circulation, softening muscle tissues with heat therapy and delighting the senses with their smooth glide. If this calls to you, add a hot stone upgrade to your next session when you book! 🥞 (I was gonna add a fire emoji but I’m feeling like the soothing warmth of hot stones is perhaps more of a hot stack of syrupy pancakes-esque comfort?)

If you’ve noticed the art on the walls of my office, you might know that I’m also an artist. Painting is a huge part of my life, as is appreciating art in general. I also love bringing my community together, so it may be no surprise that I am thrilled to be spearheading this event celebrating some phenomenal artists!

My husband and I cofounded Refraction Art Market in 2019 and I’m so excited to be bringing it back again, this Sunday the 10th. If you’re looking for some unique, high quality and locally made gifts, I hope you’ll consider stopping by! He and I will be set up selling our art alongside 20 other carefully chosen artists at the Wedge Brewing at Foundation, 5 Foundy Street from 12-6. Check out for more info and to catch a glimpse of some of the art that will be available! ✨

The vibrant buzz of summer always has me feeling like I’ve gotta go go go — longer days, vacations, gatherings with friends, events around town, everything is suddenly happening all at once. And while I love taking it all in, I definitely feel the toll it takes on my nervous system. I made a point to receive some bodywork recently and couldn’t believe how deeply grounded I felt afterwards — the gift of slowing down, being present, and truly sinking into my body felt so truly nourishing. It reminded me of how important this work is, and how special it is to be able to provide that for my clients!

I hope your summer is filled to the brim with everything that makes you feel alive, and I hope you can remember to give yourself break to catch your breath and be with yourself and your body, too. I’m here for you if receiving a massage is a part of that for you! As always, you can check my availability through the link in my bio. Take good care of yourselves, friends.

It’s located in the Homegrown Families building amongst a great community of wellness professionals. On site parking, kitchen, and communal waiting area are just some of the perks.

Motherhood. These last 11 months since my son was born have shown me incredible heights, and equally epic challenges. Parenthood is tough, y’all, and I understand now more than ever just how much parents deserve to be treasured on their special days. Here’s your reminder that Mother’s Day is only a week out, and if there is a Mother you love in your life, make sure you show her how much you appreciate her and all she does. I promise, that recognition will mean the world to her.

If you want to treat that mama to some real rest and rejuvenation, I’ve gotta say massage is a great way to go! E-gift cards are available through my website, link in bio ❤️

There is nothing better than knowing I am sending clients home feeling better than when they walked in. I can often see the relief on my client's faces or in their gait as they float out the door, but when a review like this rolls in affirming that experience with such high regard, I am so elated! This work is truly good for the soul, as much for me as it is for you.

"I have had many therapeutic massages over the years and Amy is the best experience I have had. She is so knowledgeable and professional. I always feel better after working with her. You won't be disappointed." -Anonymous, via Massagebook
