House of Yin is a shared space for independent wellness practitioners offering various forms of massage and movement. We created this place as a soft landing, somewhere we hope you can breathe easy.
Whether you’re navigating pain, stress, transition, or simply feeling the call to care for yourself more deeply, you are welcome here. Yin is the inward space. The quiet, reflective, restorative part of being human — and we believe it deserves tending.
Each therapist at House of Yin is an established practitioner who has made it their career to learn about the body and how to support it. There are a few of us who are even teachers of the craft. You will see below that we are all labeled “massage therapist”, but the specialities range from craniosacral therapy, somatic coaching, visceral manipulation, Thai massage, Ashiatsu, lymphatic drainage, connective tissue/myofascial release, yoga… the list goes on! We love that learning is a lifelong practice ✨
If you find yourself questioning who might be the best fit, please fill out the contact form at the bottom of the page detailing a little about your needs and Jackie will help you find the perfect person.
The collaborative model we work within reflects what we believe about healing and about community: that each person carries unique gifts, and when those gifts are honored — not compared or competed against — something stronger and more resilient is created. A shared field of care.
You’ll find us tucked beneath an oak tree off Northwest 6th Street in Gainesville, Florida — in the stretch lovingly known as “Acupuncture Alley” for its concentration of healing arts practitioners.
We invite you to learn more about our work and get to know us in the practitioner bios.
