At Riverbend Therapeutic Massage, we are dedicated to providing a peaceful and relaxing environment for our clients to rejuvenate their minds and bodies. Our story began in 1990, when our founder, Barbara H. Nelms, decided to leave her successful career in the insurance and banking industries to pursue her passion for therapeutic massage and alternative healthcare.
Our Story
As Barbara gazed out at the Connecticut River one evening, she found inspiration in the waters' tranquil flow. The phrase "Life is like this river, Barbara, and you'll never know what's around the bend unless you jump in and go with the flow" struck a chord, and Riverbend Therapeutic Massage was born. For years, we've been welcoming individuals of all ages and backgrounds to our peaceful location, providing a haven from the stresses of everyday life.
