Jackie Defiesta, LMT

Jackie has lived most of her life in the Reno area. After graduating from Reed High School, she moved to Virginia and became a certified nursing assistant and worked mostly with the nurses in the Rehabilitation Unit for two years. During her time there, Jackie realized she had a passion for manual therapy and decided to get her license in massage therapy. She attended Northern Virginia School of Therapeutic Massage and after practicing in Virginia, moved back to Reno, where she joined our practice and can be found at our Sparks location.

Jackie specializes in medical massage which promotes healing and assists in the body’s natural healing ability. She has a special interest in Thai massage and reflexology and is excited to start incorporating these treatments into her practice in order to provide relief to her many patients.

In her spare time Jackie enjoys hiking, weight-lifting, exercising, traveling, and painting. A fun fact about her is she has been to every state in the U.S. Jackie loves being active and helping others achieve the activity level they desire.
