JoHannah Macbeth | Licensed Acupuncturist

JoHannah Macbeth began her study of the human body propelled by genuine curiosity. The study began with feet. In 2010 she pursued certification in the Ingham Method of Reflexology at the International Institute of Reflexology in Saint Petersburg, Florida with the renowned nephew of Eunice Ingham, Dwight Byers as her primary teacher.  

Inspired by the lessons learned from reflexology and a hunger for the study of Anatomy and Physiology, she then pursued a degree in Applied Science from Bristol Community College in 2016. The focus of this degree also included the study of traditional therapeutic massage with Dr. Kimberly Griffith. Advanced manual therapy certifications include myofascial release work, orthopedic and sports massage, pre-natal and postnatal massage with Carol Osborne, as well as Thai Massage with Suriyan Punyafoo in Chiang Mai, Thailand at the Sunshine Massage School.   

While maintaining a full massage client load at a private group practice in Providence, Rhode Island and piloting a massage program at CODAC Behavioral Health in Cranston, Rhode Island.

JoHannah’s passion for helping individuals on their journey towards natural healing does not stop with massage, reflexology, or essential oils. As a holistic health enthusiast, she holds credentials as a Certified Natural Health Professional, Certified Nutritional Consultant, and a Master Herbalist from Trinity School of Natural Health in Warsaw, Indiana. 

JoHannah enrolled in Roger Williams University to achieve her Bachelors of Science in Community Health in 2018.
