She attended the Baltimore School of Massage for her primary education, passed her MBLEx exam and obtained state licensure in 2014, she attended the Baltimore School of Reflexology in 2015, and she has taken countless hours of state-mandated continuing education courses for re-occuring massage license renewals.

She has a gentle touch that will effectively address physical pain and autonomic nervous system stress. Sammie is attending Purdue Global for a Medical Billing and Coding certificate, and she is thrilled to be part of the workforce of Massage Therapists who are integrating professional massage into a clinical setting.

Nicole Maisel LMT

Licensed Massage Therapist

As a massage therapist and self-care advocate for the past 20 years I have helped hundreds of clients meaningfully meet their wellness goals. Since no two bodies are the same, having the ability and skills to create personalized solutions for clients is key to how I approach the care I provide. I get to rely on training in over 10 different modalities which give me plenty of tools to be of help to everyone I work with. Whether helping clients deal with acute to chronic pain or supporting clients through the the many challenges of fertility, pregnancy and the postpartum year, I have the always found a way to have clients experience the many benefits that massage has to offer. Being of service as a massage therapist makes me so grateful, it truly is my dream job. 

I studied massage from the Ben Benjamin Muscular Therapy in Massachusetts after studying Health Psychology in College.  I have worked in wellness centers, fertility clinics, personal fitness studios and enjoyed building long term private clients over the years. I am very excited to be joining the Five Dances Wellness Center team, and look forward to getting a chance to help clients achieve their personal health goals.

 Nicole is available Tuesdays form 10am-7pm. Please use the "Book Massage" button in the upper right to schedule!
