Deborah Davis, LMT
Deborah was born and raised on the Big Island of Hawaii. She is a 2006 graduate of the Aloha Massage Academy on the Big Island of Hawaii. She also obtained additional certifications in Hawaiian Lomi Lomi, Whiplash & Cervical Injury Treatment, Touch for Health Kinesiology, Aromatherapy & Hot Stone Therapy.
Deborah Davis is a candidate for Certification in Advanced Myofascial Techniques (CAMT) by Advanced-Trainings. She has completed Neck I, Whiplash I & II, Pelvis I & II, Spine I, and Scoliosis I & II.
As a child of cross-cultural ancestry, Deb was raised using alternative healing methods incorporating herbs, homeopathic medicine and reflexology. These healing arts have strongly influenced her daily massage practice.
Deb is very intuitive and encourages client feedback for the optimum outcome of an individual’s session. Her specialties are therapeutic, sports, cervical, Hawaiian Lomi Lomi and she describes her massage style as integrated body therapies. Her competency and skill level far exceed her years as a professional therapist.
In October, 2010, Deb joined the team at Excellence in Health Chiropractic and loves working in a clinical environment. She is eager to learn new techniques and knowledge specifically in the medical field and is always willing to share what she has learned through her passed experiences as a therapist in Hawaii and at Intuition’s Day Spa in South Anchorage.
In June, of 2009, Deb’s love of the great outdoors lured her across the ocean to make Alaska her home. When not indoors working on clients, you’ll find her outside hiking, biking, skiing, golfing, fishing and enjoying all of the wondrous beauty and gifts of Alaska. She is an avid world traveler & “cruiser”, sports fan, loves fast exotic cars and speed bikes, cooking gourmet Pacific Rim and Italian food, is an aspiring writer and enjoys singing, dancing and crafting of all kinds.
One of her ultimate dreams is to spend an extended period of time in Italy, France and Greece to learn regional cooking, the languages, culture and the arts.
Heather Arkell, LMT
I love being able to help people and make them feel better and because of this passion I have chosen to be in the medical field. I first graduated from Medical Assisting School at Eaton Tech in Washington State in 1999. After ten plus years being a CMA, I needed a change but still wanted to feel like I was helping. After much thought, I chose Massage.
I graduated as a Massage Therapist in 2010 with an added class in Spa Specialties. After my externship, I decided to go on and take more classes and have added a certification in Sports Massage to the mix. I love working with Chiropractors because I feel the overall care in enhanced with us all working as a team with one goal in mind…The Patient!
In my spare time, I can be found taking photos of the night sky or beautiful Alaska Sunrise. I have two teenage kids and two fur kids, and we are all very much in love with Alaska and the great outdoors. In the summers, we can be found hiking, camping, fishing and swimming. In the winters, a good book always calls to me before the cold does. I have always been compelled to reach out and have always volunteered in each community I find myself in and plan on doing that here once I am settled in.
Paula Gray, LMT
Paula has been in Alaska since 1999. She received her first massage as a gift in 2016 and began pursuing a career in massage in 2018. Paula wants people to understand massage as a wellness tool rather than an occasional luxury.
She has made it her goal to offer nurturing, personalized sessions that reach the mind, body and spirit. She has a background in social services and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from UAA. When she's not at work she enjoys thrift store shopping and wandering the trails that showcase Alaska's beauty.

Massage Therapist
Crystal Lankford, LMT
I grew up in the Dallas Metroplex. After graduating from high school, I joined the Navy. While serving in San Diego I met my husband.
We got stationed in Hawaii and back in Texas. There I entered into the medical field and became passionate about helping others heal. In 2014 we moved to Anchorage from Dallas. At that time, I decided that with massage I could help people feel much better. I graduated in 2015 with high honors. I specialize in deep tissue and trigger point therapy. A few of my other certifications are Graston (instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization), Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Percussion, and Assisted Stretching.
