Naema is a licensed massage and bodywork therapist who continues to expand and grow in her profession. She has had extensive training in various modalities of massage including Swedish, myofascial, deep tissue, trigger point, prenatal and sports.
She enjoys using integrative techniques to tailor each massage, pulling elements from all her training, to create a treatment that will best benefit each of her clients.
Her goal is to have each client leaving their session feeling that their desires and needs were met, whether that’s a relaxing and nurturing massage or working on a specific nagging pain. Naema will work to provide a massage that is individually created for you.

Following her experience with Dance for PD® she created PD in Motion, a weekly dance class for PwPD and taught for 7 years in Sarasota. She became certified in the Gyrotonic® Method in 2012 and a certified Gyrokinesis® instructor in 2017.

Following her dream to serve others in a healing capacity, Lynda attended Bhakti Academe for Intuitive Massage and graduated in August 2004. She gained her pain management experience working two years in a Chiropractic clinic specializing in neck and back injuries.
Lynda has elevated massage to an art with her fine-tuned skill of “listening” to your body and the body’s energy. She practices a combination of relaxation massage, deep tissue therapeutic techniques, and healing energies to release tension and emotional stress and bring your body into balance. Each massage is a wonderful experience, custom designed to your needs in the moment, and includes hot stones and aromatherapy.

As soon as I saw Waynesville Yoga Center was opening, I came. I am so thankful to Jay for a place where I feel safe, not self-conscious, and where I can attend classes that benefit me without feeling in competition with anyone else. Restorative and Yin have improved my flexibility and meditation skills; Beginner Flow, Flow Level 1 and Gentle Chair Yoga have increased my strength and balance and also challenged me, as has Barre and Balance!
I feel better than I ever have – physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I have met so many new friends. All of the instructors I have had are wonderful and willing to share of themselves. Thank you, Jay, your endeavor is making a tremendous difference in so many lives!”
