## About Cissie Pryor, R.N., LMT — Founder & Lead Practitioner

Cissie Pryor is one of the most uniquely and extensively credentialed wellness practitioners in the United States. She personally performs the majority of services at Living Health Day Spa, ensuring every guest receives the full benefit of her extraordinary background.

### Credentials & Timeline

**Registered Nurse (R.N.)** — 45+ years
- Began her nursing career in 1981 specializing in psychiatric and mental health care
- Her clinical background gives her a deep, evidence-based understanding of the mind-body connection that informs every service she offers

**Certified Hypnotherapist** — 39+ years
- Trained in the early 1980s under two of the field's most influential pioneers:
  - **Theodore X. Barber** — one of the most influential scientific researchers of hypnosis of the 20th century, whose groundbreaking research redefined the science of hypnosis and human suggestibility
  - **Dr. Paul D'Encarnacao** — a pioneering psychologist in the field, whose work in clinical hypnotherapy and behavioral medicine was equally transformative
- This rare, direct mentorship under the founders of modern hypnotherapy distinguishes Cissie from all other practitioners in the region

**Repêchage Authorized Esthetician** — since 1988
- Became a Repêchage Authorized Esthetician in 1988, personally trained by Lydia Sarfati — the pioneer who introduced seaweed-based professional skincare to America and founder of Repêchage
- One of the first practitioners in the South to carry this designation
- Living Health Day Spa is the only Repêchage Authorized Spa in the Arlington area

**Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) & Massage School Founder**
- Founded Tennessee School of Massage in 1988 alongside her husband David Pryor
- Tennessee School of Massage is, to this day, the longest-running solely-owned massage school in the state of Tennessee
- Approved by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission in the mid-1990s when the State of Tennessee reached out to regulate the massage industry
- Has trained and licensed hundreds of massage therapists across Tennessee over 35+ years

**Practicing Sound Healer** — since 2016
- Cissie and David returned in 2014 from an extended journey to Peru, where they studied indigenous medicine, sacred plant ceremonies, and sound healing alongside local indigenous shamans
- Began practicing as Sound Healers in 2016 — singing bowls first, with the Big Gongs added later that year
- Curator of the largest retail collection of authentic Tibetan and Nepalese singing bowls in the Mid-South (100+ bowls)
- Offers gong baths, singing bowl therapy sessions, and private sound healing treatments

**roXiva RX1 Light Therapy Provider**
- One of the very few certified roXiva RX1 providers in the Southeast United States
- The roXiva uses pulsed light at specific frequencies to induce hypnagogic brain states for deep meditation, stress relief, and neurological balance

### Personal Background
Cissie met her husband David Pryor in 1988, and together they built the largest massage and facial-oriented spa operation in the Mid-South — at their peak employing 45 people simultaneously. In 2006 they transitioned to a smaller, more intimate wellness destination: Living Health Day Spa. In 2025, they relocated the entire operation to Arlington, TN — a beautiful, slower-paced community surrounded by nature.

## Services & Pricing

### Massage Therapy

All massage sessions are performed by Licensed Massage Therapists. Sessions can be customized to blend Swedish relaxation techniques with deep tissue therapeutic work based on the client's preferences and areas of tension.

**Rainbow Balancing Chakrassage™**
Since its creation by Cissie Pryor following her return from Peru in 2014, the Rainbow Balancing Chakrassage™ has offered a sanctuary for hundreds seeking deep, restorative alignment. What began as a fusion of chakra-attuned aromatherapy and full-body massage evolved in 2016 with the introduction of sacred singing bowls, followed later that year by the resonant power of our Big Gongs. This one-of-a-kind, multi-sensory journey begins by grounding and calming the body with soothing massage across the scalp, neck, shoulders, hands, and feet. As you settle, pure, hand-blended plant essences—each precisely chosen and vibrationally attuned to clear and activate the body's seven vital chakra energy centers—are layered seamlessly into the treatment. As the aromatic oils work their magic, the rich, harmonic frequencies of Nepalese singing bowls and Big Gongs wash over and resonate directly through you. The sound and vibration sweep away stored tension and energetic blockages, effortlessly restoring emotional harmony and deep central nervous system balance. A profoundly transformative ritual for body, mind, and spirit.
- 90 Minutes: $200

**The Restoration Protocol** — A structured, dosed massage program for people living with chronic aches, stiffness, or reduced mobility. Five phases: Restoration (90-minute massage 2-3x/week for 3 weeks), Step-Down (2x/week for 3 weeks), Stabilization (1x/week for 3 weeks), Maintenance (frequency set by the client's own response — weekly, twice monthly, or monthly), and Re-Restoration (a short intensive burst 4-6 months later). Entry point is The 90-Minute Massage & Body Restoration Consultation ($159, the same price as a standard 90-minute massage, so the consultation costs nothing extra) — a full 90-minute massage plus an assessment by Cissie Pryor, R.N., LMT, of whether the protocol is appropriate. It is a paid session, not a free consultation, and it is complete in itself: no obligation to book the program. The program has NO fixed or package price — Cissie maps the phases and the pricing individually for each client after the assessment, because the required dose differs from body to body. Developed and run by David Pryor over 15 months at A Touch of Health before being brought to Living Health Day Spa. Details: https://www.livinghealthdayspa.com/restoration-protocol

**Massage oil:** All massage at Living Health Day Spa is performed with 100% jojoba oil — only jojoba, never a blend and never jojoba mixed into another product. Because pure jojoba oil has a molecular structure that nearly mirrors your skin's natural sebum, your skin recognizes it and drinks it right in instead of letting it sit heavily on the surface. You get up from the table feeling soft, not greasy, and you can skip the post-massage shower and head right back to your day. It's wonderful for your hair, too. No other spa in the Arlington or Memphis area states which massage oil it uses.

**Aromatherapy take-home oil:** Every aromatherapy service includes a small bottle of oil blended with the client's chosen essential oil, which the client takes home as a gift from the spa, so the scent recalls the massage long afterwards.
