Abigail Sandifer, LMT
My name is Abigail Sandifer. I am a newly licensed medical massage therapist. I grew up here in Cincinnati and I was a gymnast for 12 years. I knew I wanted to stay connected so I coached for many years before starting my journey in the massage world. I am very interested in helping those who just want to relax as well as get targeted work in TMD, MET, sports massage and many more!
I hope to see you soon!
