Aaron Evans graduated with a Masters of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of Kansas Medical Center in 2003 with a focus on rehabiliation for orthopedic and sports injuries. Before physical therapy school, Aaron attended Pittsburg State University where he earned a bachelors of science in biology with an emphasis in physical science and kinesiology.

Aaron moved to Texas after graduating as he wanted a break from the ice and cold and worked in the north Dallas area until he was able to get back to his smaller town roots and moved to Waxahachie in 2020 where he resides with his wife, Bethany, and their 3 children.

Aaron was born in Parsons, Kansas. As the son of two medical professionals, he always knew that he wanted to work in healthcare and help people. While working in the hospital in high school, he was given the opportunity to observe and interact in the various departments and fell in love with Physical Therapy. In high school, Aaron also discovered a passion for weight lifting and bodybuilding and feels all the minor and sometimes not so minor injuries he has incurred and rehabilitated have equipped him well to relate to his patients, understand their injury, and guide them back to their best life.

Aaron has advanced training in manual therapy through the International Academy of Orthopedic Medicine, as well as, various other certifications including instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization, The Neufit Method, and is excited to be able to bring various more novel methods and modalities such as extracorporeal shockwave and laser therapy to the practice. He has a passion for empowering, helping, and overall improving the quality of life for his patients that have been told by other providers or themselves that they have to live with their pain and disability.

Inspired by my personal experience with the healing benefits of massage therapy, I graduated from Texas Massage Institute in Ft. Worth, TX in 2007. I have since been working as a Massage Therapist in chiropractic offices and spas. I specialize in Swedish, Prenatal, and Deep Tissue Massage while incorporating elements of Reflexology, Trigger Point, as well as Sports Massage and Stretching. I tailor each massage depending on the specific needs of my clients. My massage technique has been described as specific and firm but gentle.

Lavender is a graduate of Waxahachie High School, class of 2023, where she was a Cherokee Charmer all 4 years. She followed her passion of becoming a massage therapist as she recalls that she was always that kid giving friends and family back rubs and after some positive encouragement and realizing that it was her gift, she pursued her calling and began her instruction at Cortiva Institute in Arlington, TX.

A native of Las Vegas and after moving to Texas in 2016, she is now proud to call Waxahachie her home. She loves dancing, doing arts and crafts, and spending time with the ones she loves.

She is passionate and ready to start her massage career with us offering those evening and weekend hours that we all need to wind down our day and to just RELAX!

Tatum is a proud licensed Lymphatic Enhancement Therapist and received her training under her mother, Tiffany Barnes, and colleague Teresa Morrow. Tatum is also a mother of a 3-year-old son and a family enthusiast.

Her inspiration for her career choice as an LET therapist came from growing up in a holistic household where she was taught the importance of listening and taking care of your body at a young age. This gave her a passion for helping people do the same for themselves.

In addition, motherhood has taught her to take care of her body, how to take care of her young son's body, and how to navigate her son through needs that he has with being on the autistic spectrum and nonverbal. With this understanding, she is awesome and confident with working with children!

Tatum is inspired to pursue a career in the health and wellness space to help people on their healing journey. She plans to expand her knowledge of other services to integrate into the office in the future!
