origin story

Amber Briggle’s journey from part-time massage therapist to founder of the thriving Soma Massage Therapy showcases how passion, resilience, and a people-first approach turned a home-based dream into a multi-award-winning wellness brand — even surviving and growing through the challenges of COVID-19. With multiple studios, a unique medical-massage focus and full-hour sessions that prioritize personalized care and no-tipping simplicity, Soma is now expanding through franchising to bring healing touch nationwide. Our CEO’s story is one of tenacity, community impact, and redefining what modern massage therapy can be.
