Jill Trueblood - Massage Practitioner

Jill moved to Tacoma in 1995 from Missouri and has been practicing massage since 2005. After suffering a stress-related low back injury and experimenting with several different modalities to reduce pain and regain normal range-of-motion, Jill found massage to be most effective for her. She became good friends with one of her massage therapists and was inspired by her to go back to school and make a career change. Jill has a thirst for knowledge and is continuing her education in animal massage studies. She enjoys taking her Australian Cattle Dog and Chihuahua to the dog park and has been playing drums for the past several years in various Tacoma and Seattle bands.
