Meet the Therapist
Bridgette McClain LMT, MMP
Welcome to What I Kneaded Massage Spa, where your wellness is my mission. My name is Bridgette McClain, and I’m a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) and Medical Massage Practitioner (MMP), proudly serving the Tyler, TX area. I graduated from The Art of Massage Institute in 2023 and completed the Medical Massage Practitioner program in 2024.

My Approach to Oncology Massage
Massage therapy offers profound benefits for individuals managing the challenges of cancer, including pain relief, reduced fatigue, and a sense of calm and connection. I am dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment where oncology clients can experience the healing power of touch. I use S4OM-approved products like PurePro hypoallergenic lotion and HobaCare Jojoba, designed specifically for sensitive skin and health conditions.
Healing Touch Sponsorship Program
I am proud to introduce the Healing Touch Sponsorship Program, a community initiative designed to make oncology massage more accessible in East Texas. This program provides opportunities to:
-
Donate reward points from our Wellness Rewards Program to offset the cost of oncology massage for clients in need.
-
Sponsor massage sessions for individuals or families impacted by cancer.
My goal is to ensure that every person who needs it, regardless of financial constraints, has access to the physical and emotional benefits of oncology massage.
My Journey and Philosophy
Originally from Texarkana, I’ve proudly called Tyler home for over 20 years. After nearly two decades in the automotive industry, I made a life-changing decision to pursue massage therapy, driven by my passion for helping others find relief and wellness. This transition has given me a deep understanding of the stress and physical challenges life can bring—and the transformative power of compassionate care.
At What I Kneaded Massage Spa, I focus on:
-
Pain management
-
Recovery and rehabilitation
-
Stress reduction and relaxation
As East Texas’s Preferred Provider for Oncology Massage, I am honored to bring specialized care to a community I love.
