a note from our founder, Katie
Why I started WestEnd MedSpa
My passion for this work was sparked when I was 17 while working at a doctors office that shared the same space as a spa.
I noticed that the clients next door were walking out of the spa vastly different than the way they walked in… the people leaving were beaming.
It wasn’t just their skin that was glowing.
It was as if their spirit was now shining too.
I loved seeing the connection between people feeling good on the outside and shining more from the inside. In that moment, I knew I wanted to help people feel as good as these people did.
So the creation of this space has been a decades-long dream that finally came true in 2019.
I wanted to curate a space that weaves elements of health, beauty, nutrition, and holistic practices together with medical technology to nourish the layers of your skin and your spirit.
My greatest wish for you is to feel rejuvenated and capable, ready to navigate whatever comes your way, looking great while doing it.
Here’s to your radiance!

Lisa Howie
Licensed Massage Therapist
An instinctive spirit and a passion for healing is at the core of my work. I get excited about results and I am thrilled to treat patients so that they can succeed in escaping from pain. Just as my clients are intent on seeing change, I am extremely motivated to produce results. Licensed in 2001, I continue to practice multiple natural modalities to provide a pathway to success, including; Pain Neutralization Technique (PNT), Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique (BEST), Neuro Modulation Technique (NMT), Thai Massage, Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) + (NAET - for allergies), Psych-K, Total Body Modification (TBM), and Applied Kinesiology.
The foundation of my work started as a child, growing up with a warm and supportive family, and continued into adulthood. I have sought out effective methods of recovery and tools for restoring vibrant health and creating a sense of youthful well-being. Pairing innovation with intuition, I work to evaluate each client to understand missed connections with their framework, recognize points of interference, and restore the body to it’s intended state. Many clients walk away saying that their time with me is more than just a massage, it is an experience.
Away from the massage table, you will find me cultivating my own experiences, whether hiking, exploring Mother Nature, or getting lost in a good book. I look to nurture myself just as I work to heal others.
