Our Story
At Total Balance Massage & Wellness, we believe in the power of movement, recovery, and healing. Our journey began with our founder, Morgan, whose personal experience with injury and rehabilitation inspired her to create a space where people could find relief, restore balance, and feel truly supported in their wellness journey.

Meet Morgan: A Passion for Healing and Movement
Morgan’s love for movement started early—she began dancing at the age of seven and fell in love with musical theater, performing in productions such as A Chorus Line (Judy), A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (Gymnasia), and Cats (Demeter). But like many athletes and performers, she faced a knee injury in college that threatened to take her away from dance. It was through massage therapy that she found immediate relief, opening her eyes to the power of bodywork in healing and performance recovery.
​
Determined to help others experience the same transformation, Morgan became a licensed massage therapist in 2009, graduating from Everest College in San Jose, CA. She went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences, became a Corrective Exercise Specialist, and studied kinesiology to deepen her understanding of movement, injury prevention, and rehabilitation. Her experience working in chiropractic and physical therapy clinics reinforced her belief that each person’s body is unique and requires customized treatment—not a one-size-fits-all approach.
​
At Total Balance, Morgan works with athletes, dancers, and active individuals, focusing on how repetitive movements and lifestyle habits impact the body. Whether she’s treating a baseball player, marathon runner, or MMA fighter, she tailors every session to help clients recover, improve performance, and move pain-free.

Built From the Ground Up: A True Family Business
Total Balance Massage & Wellness isn’t just a business—it’s Morgan’s vision brought to life. As a solo business owner, she developed this space entirely on her own, designing and physically building much of the facility with her own hands. Every detail reflects her commitment to creating an environment that is both clinical and welcoming, where clients feel comfortable and supported.
​Beyond her role as a therapist and business owner, Morgan is also a single mom to two busy kids. Total Balance is more than just a career for her—it’s a family business that provides for her children. Her hard work, resilience, and passion are woven into every part of this space, making it a true labor of love.​

A Space for Healing, Growth, and Community
Morgan’s vision for Total Balance goes beyond just helping clients—she has also built a space where her team can grow, heal, and thrive. She believes that when therapists feel supported, they can provide the best possible care. Total Balance is a collaborative environment where each team member’s unique strengths contribute to the mission of helping others feel their best.​
The Dance Collective: Movement Beyond the Gym
As a lifelong dancer, Morgan knows that movement is essential—not just for fitness, but for joy and self-expression. That’s why she created The Dance Collective, Clarksville’s only studio dedicated to adult dance technique and group fitness in a fun, judgment-free space for people of all levels to move, sweat, and enjoy the benefits of dance. The Dance Collective provides an alternative to traditional gyms, making it easy for adults to stay active in a way that feels engaging and sustainable.​
