Anthony Hunter, LBMT
Licensed Body and Massage Therapist
Anthony brings a deeply personal approach to bodywork, drawing on his experience with collegiate athletes, military veterans, individuals in recovery, and clients navigating PTSD. Whether someone is working through the physical demands of competition, rebuilding strength after service, or seeking relief during a difficult chapter, Anthony meets them exactly where they are — no assumptions, no one-size-fits-all plan.
What sets Anthony apart is his commitment to truly understanding each client’s goals before designing a path forward. He uses integrative techniques to address the whole person, not just the symptoms, blending modalities to create sessions that feel purposeful and restorative. His clients often describe his work as both grounding and energizing — the kind of care that helps you leave feeling more like yourself.
