Interested in hosting a workshop or event? I offer both live and remote events.

I am currently booking live events for Spring/Summer 2021.
SHOP
Need a massage? Looking for ways to strengthen your tired hands and body? You're in the right place. I've been a massage therapist since 2007 and I am a firm believer in the benefits of the modality. I understand that it is not always financially accessible. That's why I curated a collection of tools with your studio practice in mind.
Hey Maker
I'm Missy Graff Ballone. I am the Founder and Podcast Host of Wellness for Makers! My mission is to motivate and empower creatives, like you, through education, mindful-living, and movement! I use my backgrounds as an Artist, Alignment-based Yoga Instructor RYT500, and Licensed Massage Therapist to make information about the body accessible to artists everywhere. As an artist, I understand the aches and pains that go into having an active studio practice. That's why I decided to use my specializations to create offerings and events just for you!
