Meet the Owner

Nora Marin

River Valley Entreprenuer since 2003

I came from rather humble beginnings but through hard work and dedication I have proven that if you want something it’s worth the sweat and tears it took to get there.  I would like to say that I’m loyal, honest and respectful and expect nothing less by those that surround me. As for a business motto: I believe that any business can be successful if you work as a team, for everyone plays a unique part that makes them essential regardless of their job title. Finally, remember that your body and mind work together hand in hand so take care of it, and allow our trained and dedicated professionals help you through the power of massage therapy.
