The Medissage Story
Built from lived experience
Medissage was not built from theory—it was built from lived experience.
After decades in the massage and wellness field, our founders saw a critical gap: people living with chronic pain were falling through the cracks of the healthcare system. They were searching for relief, but what they often found was temporary solutions, fragmented care, or no access at all.
Between our founders, Arricka and Vernon, there is over a decade of lived experience navigating homelessness, healthcare instability, and recovery. During times of hospitalization and transition, one truth became clear: there were little to no wraparound services to support the full journey of healing. Care was disconnected. Patients were treated, but not truly supported.
That gap became the mission. Medissage was created to change that. We are redefining what massage therapy can be by integrating it into coordinated healthcare. Through our ReBoosTx™ model, we connect patients, providers, and systems—bridging the gap between wellness and medicine.
Now, as we build from Houston into a national model with future global reach, we are creating something bigger than a program—a scalable, collaborative approach that can transform how wellness support is delivered across communities. This is where leadership matters.
