~ Under New Ownership ~
Welcome to Pampered Spirit Mobile Massage & Spa. Our goal is to meet our clients unique needs with the benefit of therapeutic touch – whether at our Point Pleasant location, via our mobile spa, or in the workplace. Pampered Spirit was founded in 2007 and recently came under new ownership, with founder Bridget Riley passing the torch to Brianna Donan.
About the Owner:
Brianna is a Licensed Massage Therapist with a background in professional sports marketing and healthcare. She has a degree in Sports Management and Marketing from the Isenberg School of Management at UMass Amherst, and later attended the Body in Mind Massage Institute, where she earned her certification as a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT). Additionally, she studied Medical Deep Tissue techniques under Larry Heisler, to support injury recovery, and most recently finished her Manual Lymphatic Therapy training with the Norton School of MLD. Prior to embarking on her massage therapy journey, Brianna worked on the Executive Operations team for the New York Rangers, and as a Manager for Bayada, a Home Healthcare Agency.
Brianna has had a lifelong passion for healing, stemming from her experience growing up in a family of healthcare professionals. She was introduced to the powerful benefits of massage during high school, when back pain got in the way of her love of softball. She continued to get regular massages as an adult, and was inspired by the therapists she met on her healing journey to pursue higher education in massage herself.
During her training at Body in Mind Massage Institute, Brianna was able to see the immediate relief her newfound skills brought clients – reinforcing her belief that serving others through healing was her path. She gained experience on the business side of massage through working at a massage franchise while in school, and knew that owning her own business one day was her dream.
Taking over ownership of Pampered Spirit was the perfect opportunity to achieve that dream – a place that brings healing to clients where they are, whether it’s the brick-and-mortar spa in Point Pleasant, at their homes via the mobile spa, or in the workplace. She plans to expand the spa’s offerings to support medical massage needs, such as integrated injury recovery, post-surgical wellness, and the Norton technique of manual lymphatic drainage and complete decongestive therapy with garment wrapping.
The ultimate goal for Brianna and the spa is to build trusted relationships with clients, respond to their unique needs, and maintain a safe and comfortable space to relax, restore to homeostasis, and feel deep relief from any stored pain in the body.
