Megan Davenport, LMBT #8719

Megan Davenport, LMBT, specializes in Swedish and Myofascial Massage as well as an interest in structural integration work. Massage therapy and the healing power of touch have been longtime passions for her. And, when her path brought her back to the Triangle, these passions led her to massage therapy school. 

Megan is a graduate of the Body Therapy Institute in Silk Hope, North Carolina, a COMTA (Commission on Massage Therapy Accredidation) accredited school, one of only two massage therapy schools in the state to carry this title. In addition, she holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  She has found this educational background to pair well in somatic psychology, a field which emphasizes the connections between the the state of mind and the state of the body.  This mind-body connection is a central part of her focus in the practice of therapeutic massage.

An eastern North Carolina native, Megan is again a resident of Chapel Hill.  She takes much joy in living in such a progressive area that combines the wealth of activities a larger city has to offer with the small-town sense of community and rural peace.
