The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another.

Joshua Hancock graduated from The Heritage Institute, located in sunny Fort Myers, FL, in February of 2011. He prefers providing a variety of therapeutic techniques, such as deep tissue, myofascial release, and Thai massage. He enjoys nerding out on new bodywork techniques and expanding his understanding of how the body works.

He is usually very quiet unless you bring up a subject of great interest to him. He loves to research stuff. "What kind of stuff," you ask? All kinds of stuff. According to the Myers Briggs Personality Test he is an INTP, or the Logician. That personality type loves that sort of thing. His free time is usually spent creative problem solving his wife's garden projects, house projects, the neighbor's projects, his own projects... He also loves hiking with his family and harassing them into tasting wild edibles. Yes...he researches that kind of stuff too.

He fell in love with the Washington area when he was stationed in Fort Lewis from 1999 to 2002. He is happy to have finally made his way back here in 2011 after living in Naples, Florida for six years, which is where he met his wife and now fellow massage therapist, Rhonda Hancock.

Nationally Certified since 2003, Rhonda received her massage training in Virginia Beach, VA at   The Advanced Fuller School of Massage Therapy.  She has held a massage license in Virginia and Florida and is currently licensed in Washington State.

Rhonda is a well-rounded massage practitioner, providing relaxing or deep bodywork. She enjoys working with elite athletes, weekend warriors, and everyone in between. She prefers therapeutic bodywork because it allows her to address each client's needs by utilizing various massage techniques. Unlike her husband's logical approach to things, she has an intuitive nature.

She is a speak-when-spoken-to type of massage therapist. If you prefer to relax in quiet, she will gladly provide that atmosphere. If your way of relaxing is to converse incessantly, she can easily keep the conversation going even though she's an introvert. This is most likely due to the fact that she's an INFJ; people with that personality type are commonly mistaken for extroverts.

When she's not massaging, you might find her in the kitchen cooking up something for the family or her neighbors and friends. Other places she loves to be are rolling at Stray Dogs jiu-jitsu studio, working out at JB Fitness, digging in the garden, hiking these lovely PNW trails, sitting by the fire pit watching Josh and Tuesday roast marshmallows, or relaxing on the couch with the four family cats. She is an avid reader, writer, musician, board gamer, meditator, and data analytics enthusiast. Sometimes she even manages to carve out time to post a recipe on her blog, myredbarnkitchen.blogspot.com.
