About Us

• A native of Trinidad and Tobago, Uhuru Massage Therapy's owner Joanne Rodney grew up in New Jersey and served in the U.S. Army for ten years. In 2007, Ms. Rodney graduated from The American Institute of Massage Therapy in Pompano Beach, Florida. For four years she operated a private mobile massage practice while also working in various settings ranging from rehabilitation centers and chiropractic offices to upscale day spas. Recently she worked as a Massage Therapist at an addiction treatment center in Deerfield Beach, Florida offering massage as part of their recovery programs. Always conscious of the fact that each client has unique needs, be it chronic deep muscle pain, migraines or simply a desire to relax, she is mindful to remain totally focused on those needs throughout every massage session. To that end, her massage style blends traditional Swedish Massage with Deep Tissue and Lomi-Lomi (Hawaiian-styled massage) techniques designed to provide deep relaxation in addition to treatment-oriented results. Inspired by the Swahili word 'uhuru', which means freedom, Uhuru Massage Therapy is dedicated to helping each person who walks through our door gain freedom from stress related pain.
