About Us
Our Mission
At Mokosh, we are more than a massage studio—we are a sanctuary for healing, a hub for holistic connection, and a growing force in the wellness community.
We believe that bodywork is not a luxury—it’s medicine. A vital, restorative force that helps people reconnect with their bodies, release stress, and move through life with greater ease, resilience, and vitality. Whether someone is navigating chronic pain, burnout, or simply seeking a deeper sense of flow, our work is designed to support lasting transformation—not just temporary relief.
We’re here to nourish not only our clients, but also the practitioners who serve them. We support therapists with opportunities to thrive, grow, and do the work they love in a sustainable, empowered way. In an industry too often dominated by high-volume franchises that leave both clients and therapists feeling like a number, we offer something different—care that’s personal, intentional, and rooted in mutual respect.
Our mission is to mend what’s broken in the client-practitioner experience, to restore integrity to the healing arts, and to build a vibrant, inclusive wellness community that honors the intelligence of the body, the rhythms of nature, and the vital pursuit of rest.

COURTNEY graduated in 2009 and found her path to massage therapy in a serendipitous way. Fascinated by the human body and its anatomy from a young age, her interest was sparked by watching Friends in high school. Inspired by Phoebe Buffay’s career as a massage therapist, she attended an open house at the CT Center for Massage Therapy at a friend’s suggestion—and she’s been in love with the field ever since.
Courtney’s passion lies in her clients. She values the relationships she builds and treasures the opportunity to meet interesting people from all walks of life. Her work allows her to make a positive impact, offering both physical relief and a greater sense of body awareness for her clients.
Her goal with every massage is to tune in to what the body needs, ensuring each client feels heard, supported, and safe. She aims for her clients to leave every session feeling more grounded and relaxed than when they arrived.

She is committed to leading with a holistic, all-natural approach, emphasizing the importance of meeting the body where it is each day. Over the years, she has honed her skill in listening to the tissue and working with it, not against it. Her training in Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage adds fluidity and grace to her technique.

NICOLE is a deep-tissue–focused massage therapist who enjoys working through problem areas to help clients find meaningful, lasting relief. She is especially drawn to therapeutic work that supports recovery, whether that means addressing chronic tension or helping the body heal after injury. Her approach is thoughtful and client-centered, with the goal of helping each person feel stronger, more mobile, and more at ease in their body.
Originally from New Jersey, Nicole moved to Louisville in 2005 and attended the University of Louisville, where she studied English. Outside of academics, she spent much of her time at the city’s 24-hour skatepark, riding BMX bikes—an experience that deeply shaped her appreciation for movement and recovery. Living an active lifestyle led to firsthand experiences with injury and physical limitation, and she came to rely on massage therapy to help her return to daily life. As a client, she was always curious, asking questions and wanting to understand how the body works. That curiosity, paired with a genuine desire to help others, eventually led her to pursue massage therapy herself.
Before entering the field, Nicole worked on the administrative side of healthcare, hoping to make a difference in a helping profession. Over time, that role no longer felt aligned, and massage school became a turning point. What began as a learning experience quickly revealed itself as the work she had been searching for.
Outside the treatment room, Nicole enjoys mountain biking, snowboarding, yoga, traveling, reading, cooking, and spending time outdoors. She is deeply committed to continued education and lifelong learning, viewing every class and book as an opportunity to expand her skills and better serve her clients. While she especially enjoys working with those recovering from sports injuries, Nicole is passionate about helping anyone in need of relief feel their best and return to the activities they love.
