Jackie Chikos has been a practicing licensed massage therapist since 2010. She has worked in a variety of environments, from the spa atmosphere of Massage Envy to the medical setting that is Arizona State University’s Health Services. Since earning her B.S. in kinesiology from ASU in 2012, Jackie has focused on broadening her massage “tools.” She has focused her education on myofascial and trigger point release, deep tissue and sports techniques, and the integration of kinesiology and massage therapy.

When she's not trying to change lives one back massage at a time, Jackie can be found volunteering for Phoenix Comicon and its adjacent organizations, dancing to jazz music in the East Valley, or hiking up small mountains to do some yoga in the sunshine. She's interested in constant education; personal trainer certification, yoga teacher certification, and cranialsacral mastery are just a few items on her bucket list. All of this may make her sound extremely extroverted, but for the majority of the time, Jackie is actually curled up on the couch with her boyfriend and cat, reading Stephen King novels and binge watching almost anything.
