<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe constant pressure from her work and the demands of being a mother to two young children made her reevaluate her future. That\u2019s when the idea of massage therapy entered her life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Massage therapy felt like a way I could still work with the human body, still provide care, but also take care of myself,” she explained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Initially unsure about leaving the world of nursing, Marcrom gave massage therapy a shot, and it paid off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It\u2019s been amazing,” she said. “Honestly, I wish I had done it sooner.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now that she\u2019s running her own practice, The Vibe Room, in Tullahoma, Marcrom has finally found her home in massage therapy. While her nursing career will always be a part of her, she has embraced this new chapter, where she can provide physical and emotional healing to her clients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marcrom is motivated to grow her practice and plans to incorporate more modalities over time. For now, she\u2019s focused on providing exceptional Swedish and deep tissue massages in time frames ranging from 30 minutes to two hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a licensed massage therapist, she tailors her techniques to her clients\u2019 needs. She enjoys the one-on-one connections and the ability to offer healing in a different yet equally profound way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marcrom shared a particularly moving story from early in her massage career when working at a fast-paced spa in Franklin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“A woman came in, and from the moment I met her, I could tell something was off,” she recalled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The energy between them was undeniable, and during the massage, Marcrom felt as if her hands were guided by something beyond herself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “I\u2019m very methodical in my approach because of my surgical background, but this time, it was different. It was like I was being pulled to different areas where she needed healing.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n By the end of the session, the woman was in tears and revealed that she had just found out her husband had been diagnosed with cancer. She felt overwhelmed and unable to cope, but the massage brought her clarity and relief. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLisa, you\u2019re doing God\u2019s work,\u201d the woman told her, adding that Marcrom\u2019s hands had massaged her soul and given her the clarity and strength to keep moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Marcrom remembered, still moved by the encounter, “It was divine intervention. She felt like she could breathe again.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Marcrom takes the time to understand each client\u2019s unique needs. Before every session, she consults with her clients to tailor her techniques to make their experience effective and deeply personalized. Marcrom believes in the therapeutic power of touch and strives to create a peaceful, healing space for her clients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI may not always know what someone is going through, but I do my best to help them feel cared for,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Her caring hands, led by medical expertise and intuitive understanding, have enhanced people\u2019s quality of life. In the Vibe Room, she provides a safe space for bodies to find relief and souls to find peace. Even the simplest gestures bring profound healing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Manchester Native Lisa Marcrom’s fingers glided across her client’s tense muscles, a particular relaxation method that seemed to soothe the body and mind.
