About Massage Therapist Aubree Huber

Aubree went to Indiana Therapeutic Massage School and graduated in May 2019. From there, she worked in a spa setting for about 2 years, then with a chiropractor for about 3 years. At the spa, she did many relaxation massages and also had many chronic pain and injury clients. During her time with the chiropractor, she worked with many chronic pain and injury clients and pregnant women.

Aubree’s favorite massage to give is therapeutic and prenatal massage. “I like to see how much of a difference massage can make to those in pain. I often have clients come in whose daily lives are affected by there pain and it makes me happy to see them have some relief from that once they get off my table. I enjoy seeing major results from those who continue to get regular massages. I enjoy working with prenatal clients because I want the mother and baby to have the best outcome possible during the pregnancy and I believe massage can help with that.”

Fitness Is a Core Jewish Value

At the JCC, fitness isn’t just something we do; it’s who we are. Although exercise is not mentioned in the Torah, taking care of one’s health is. In fact, while other belief systems advocate for the healing power of prayer, Judaism encourages people to look after their health and seek counsel from medical experts. In Judaism, good health is not a goal in itself. Rather, it is a means to an end – to serve the Creator.
