About Health Bound Massage & Wellness
Established in 2021, Health Bound Massage has been steadily growing for nearly four years. We prioritize client-specific needs, using skill and experience to create personalized sessions tailored to each individual. At HBL, we don’t believe in a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to massage therapy—because you’re not the same every time you visit.
Have you been painting the house? Just moved or helped someone relocate? Preparing for surgery or recovering from an injury? Life is full of physical challenges, so why should your massage be the same every time?
Massage therapy can be an essential part of your regular wellness routine. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, experienced massage therapist who truly listens and communicates, you’ve come to the right place. Whether you need deep tissue therapy, relaxation, or pain relief, Health Bound Massage is here to help—you might just wish you had found us sooner!

My name is Emily Shown and I have been practicing in Louisville and Southern Indiana for 15 years. I love massage therapy and I have worked in a variety of settings. I earned my massage license through the Louisville School of Massage before I graduated from Southern New Hampshire University. I earned a BS in Geosciences as I had a love for cartography and the sciences in general. While in college I also studied fine arts, anatomy, biology, psychology, and wellness. During my senior year I had a realization that I did not want to leave the field of massage therapy. Over 15 years, I fell in love with my practice and the ability my skills have to really affect peoples lives in a positive way. I have gained so many wonderful clients and I’ve been blessed with so many opportunities for growth. In 2021, right before graduation from university, I decided it was time to go out on my own and work for myself. Since then my practice has grown from a small one room operation to a growing office clinic located in cozy Lyndon. I love what I do.

I’m happy to be joining the Health Bound team! I love massage and helping people feel better. For the past two years I’ve been providing massage at Norton Audubon Hospital to patients receiving chemotherapy and their caregivers. My focus in full body massage is on trigger point therapy (targeted deep pressure) and myofascial techniques (releasing tension effectively with minimal pressure). My regular clients tell me they appreciate my ability to deliver moderate to deep pressure gently and without soreness - a relaxing massage that still “gets the knots out.” Looking forward to meeting you!
