Finding Balance: Essie is the owner of 2theCore. She received her degree in Athletic Training in 2000 from Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky. After marrying her best friend from college, Ben, she decided to focus her attention on pursuing a career where she could be more flexible and could work around starting a family but could still utilize her knowledge about how the body works. She wanted to learn a trade that would combine her degree and work experiences at a chiropractor's office and physical therapy clinic to have a greater impact on people's lives for the better. She started training to become a licensed massage therapist in 2001 at the Lexington Healing Arts Academy.

 

Creating Space: Since then, Essie has worked her business around her family and has continued to pursue experiences and opportunities that would help her help others. She has taken various workshops and classes in reflexology, craniosacral therapy, sports massage, neuromuscular therapy, IASTM, and infant massage. In 2005, she took the opportunity to get certified as a mat Pilates instructor with Paragon Pilates and in 2012, she became an ISFTA certified personal trainer and rehab fitness specialist.  Before moving to South Carolina, Essie set up shop at The Lexington Athletic Club and taught classes at Images Model and Talent Agency. Most recently, Essie led an on-going Pilates mat class at the Central-Clemson Recreation Center and coordinated several Women's Wellness Events. She continues to nurture and grow her business at her new office location in Pickens, SC. 

 

From Him, the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does it's work.
