Meet Deonna

Hello, I’m Deonna Troxel! I’m the licensed massage therapist, administrator, marketing manager, and creative of Massage by Deonna.

I’ve been passionate about health and wellness since I was a little girl. It all started with doing Billy Blanks’ Tae Bo workouts with my mom when I was about 9 years old. Since then, I was curious and actively learning about health and wellness. As a teenager, my first ambition was to become a certified personal trainer. That ambition didn’t stick, and I took to college to indulge in learning and exploring my creativity.

Being very physically active, spending hours sitting at a computer reading and writing, and managing generalized anxiety disorder was causing me a lot of muscle tension and soreness. That prompted me to seek massage therapy for the first time.

During this time, I was also contemplating my career path. After having great results with massage therapy, I looked through the Indian Hills Community College’s program catalog and found Therapeutic Massage. After careful consideration, I signed up for orientation. I learned various modalities and techniques from the Indian Hills’ program. I graduated and received my Massage Therapy License in the fall of 2015. Since then, I have taken continuing education classes and developed my signature massage.
