Come back to yourself
So you can live the life you want to live
Why ‘Grounded’?
As we live our busy lives, we give away pieces of ourselves.
With every relationship, every task that we give our heart, soul, mind, or time to, we can become disconnected from our own body, mind, and spirit.
At Grounded Massage and Lymphatic Care, we emphasize the importance of rest and reconnection with your body in the present moment because we know that when you become connected to your body, you become more emotionally regulated, your perspective is improved, your cup is filled. You are better able to recover.
We want to help you come back to yourself, become grounded… so you can go and live the live you want to live.
Our Story
Grounded Massage and Lymphatic Drainage opened in June 2022 as Grounded Massage Therapy, LLC, but really, it’s over 15 years in the making.
Founder, Elizabeth Skees, began her career in the spa and wellness industry in 2005 as a front desk coordinator in a local and very busy massage practice. Many years after that, she finally pursued the career she had thought about since high school and attended massage school in Miami, FL. The first two years after being licensed were spent as a massage therapist in a 4-star hotel spa in South Beach. Then, the following six years back at that same local, busy massage practice in Lexington and a brief stint in the Chicagoland area.
By this time, Elizabeth had either done or intently observed every job there is in a spa, except owner. When she moved back to Lexington for the final time, she found an opportunity to work for herself and employ her work experience and vision to join with her clientele on their restoration journey via exceptional massage experiences.
