Susan Ward, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC, LMT

Family Nurse Practitioner-Board Certified and Licensed Massage Therapist with over 25 years of combined experience in healthcare

Susan has been providing therapeutic massage and bodywork for health, relaxation, and overall well-being since 2006. Trained in a variety of modalities, she offers nurturing, individualized treatments that help reduce stress, relieve pain, improve mobility, and restore balance.

With more than twenty years in private practice as a massage therapist, Susan’s background also includes work in spas, wellness centers, physical therapy clinics, and chiropractic offices. Her integrative approach blends clinical skill with intuitive care—built on trust, expertise, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to each client’s well-being. Every session is tailored to create a truly one-of-a-kind experience that supports both body and mind.

As a lifelong learner, Susan continues to pursue advanced training in massage therapy and holistic health to better serve her clients. Her recent personal development includes a ten-day (100-hour) Vipassana meditation course at Dhamma Dhara Meditation Center in Shelburne Falls, MA (2025) and a month-long holistic wellness retreat at Zen Den Yoga School in Boca Raton, FL (2023), which incorporated yoga, meditation, nutrition, massage, acupuncture, Tai Chi, Qigong, and Ayurvedic medicine.

Outside her practice, Susan tends to wander the borderlands between movement, creativity, and stillness—usually with a backpack, sketchbook, or snack in hand. She enjoys hiking, kayaking, cycling, and occasionally testing gravity through Krav Maga and BJJ. When not outdoors, she’s restoring curious old objects, diving into medical research, or meditating just long enough to start planning her next adventure. She values honesty, curiosity, and quiet connection—and firmly believes that silence can be its own kind of conversation.
