Stacy Shidemantle: President
Hi, My name is Stacy Shidemantle. I graduated from Emerald Coast Massage School where I am currently the Administrator for the school. I am also in partnership with two other massage therapists in our own business, Total Health Massage and Bodyworks, LLC. We work out of Dragonfly Yoga Studies on Brooks Street in Downtown FWB. I am the mother of 5 beautiful children, 3 boys and 2 girls. I favor sports and medical massage predominately, but enjoy all facets of the massage world. I look forward to serving the Sugar Dunes Chapter as President and helping further the awareness of massage therapy in the community, assist fellow massage therapists, further their career, and increase membership in the FSMTA, which ultimately helps our career field.
