The Team
Who We Are
Jonathan Ware
Founder & CEO
With over 10 years of experience as a Sports Massage Therapist and a former athlete myself, I understand exactly what it takes to get your body feeling and performing at its best. My passion for sports runs deep—whether it’s archery, bowling, basketball, football, baseball, and Spartan races, I’ve always been drawn to the drive, discipline, and recovery it takes to stay in the game.
​
When I’m not helping clients move better and feel better, I’m enjoying life with my wife and son—usually outdoors at the park, the beach, or whatever adventure my wife has planned for us. I also appreciate a good drink and catching a game whenever I can. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a pro, I bring a personalized, athlete-informed approach to every session to help you reach your goals.
Anisha Ware
Operations Manager
Anisha Ware is the dedicated Office Manager at Firm Hands, where she brings both heart and organization to the team. Beyond the office, she wears many meaningful hats — she’s a proud wife, loving mom, chaplain, and ordained minister. Whether guiding others spiritually or supporting her colleagues, Anisha leads with compassion and purpose. When she's not at work, you’ll likely find her enjoying nature on a trail or swimming with her husband Jonathan and their son Axel, making memories and soaking up the joy of family life.
Shannyn Owens
Massage Therapist
Shannyn is a dedicated athletic professional with a rich background in dance and gymnastics. Her years of training and performance give her a deep understanding of body mechanics, flexibility, and injury prevention. In her massage practice, she specializes in deep tissue massage—great for breaking down stubborn muscle tension—sports massage, perfect for active individuals needing recovery and enhanced mobility, and myofascial release, which focuses on relieving tension through connective tissues. When she’s not hands-on with clients, Shannyn enjoys exploring local parks and experimenting in the kitchen—especially making her famous tacos. Her sessions focus on restoring balance, easing muscle strain, and helping people move more freely in everyday life.
Tina Jones
Massage Therapist
Hi, I’m Tina, and what I bring to Firm Hands is a unique blend of athletic experience and therapeutic expertise. With a background in cheerleading, track and field, and volleyball, I understand the demands an active lifestyle places on the body. I specialize in sports massage, trigger point therapy, and deep tissue work to help clients recover, relax, and move with ease. Outside of work, I love to paint—it keeps me creative, grounded, and inspired to bring healing energy into every session.
