Athena Guice
Licensed Massage Therapist
Since 2020, Athena Guice has worked alongside Dr. Henry and Dr. Hixon to provide the Pensacola community with therapeutic bodywork that prioritizes each client’s individual needs with compassion and care. She finds deep fulfillment in helping clients progress, regain mobility, and achieve lasting wellness through personalized massage therapy.
Inspired by the doctors in the early years of her career, Athena earned her certification as a Graston Specialist—the highest level of qualification in instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy. This technique gently breaks down scar tissue, fascial adhesions, and fibrotic tissue, helping to restore healthy tissue function and alleviate pain. It’s particularly effective for clients with active lifestyles, physically demanding routines, or those recovering from injuries throughout the Pensacola area.
Athena has gained invaluable clinical experience supporting patients with chronic pain, musculoskeletal injuries, postural imbalances, and surgical recovery. This foundation informs her holistic and effective approach, shaping her mindset across all areas of bodywork.
Her passion also extends to pre- and perinatal massage therapy, where she specializes in supporting mothers during pregnancy, labor preparation, and postpartum healing. Using Carol Osborne’s evidence-based approach, Athena provides compassionate care to ease pregnancy-related discomfort, support the body’s natural changes, release muscular adhesions, and assist in tissue repair after childbirth. She is dedicated to offering personalized care tailored to each woman’s unique needs, fostering physical comfort and emotional balance at every stage of motherhood.
Athena values both her patients and the team at Henry Chiropractic. She strives to ensure that everyone who walks through the doors feels uplifted, treated with dignity, and kept safe, just as she would care for her own family.
Outside of her practice, Athena has developed a deep passion for cooking nutritious meals. For her, preparing healthy food is an act of service—one that supports others in having the energy, patience, and focus to feel good and do good each day.
Since 2021, she has been happily married to her husband and best friend, who inspires her in all of life’s rich pursuits: faith, family, intellect, creativity, and health.
