Meet Penny Watson, Certified Massage Therapist
A Passion for Therapeutic Care
Penny Watson’s path to massage therapy was personal. After experiencing a serious injury herself, she understood firsthand what it felt like to be in pain and limited in daily life. That experience shaped everything. She became a massage therapist so that other people would not have to go through what she went through.
Penny completed her training at the Academy of Professional Careers in Indio, where she built a strong foundation across multiple therapeutic modalities. She has been practicing massage therapy for over 20 years and is certified through the California Massage Therapy Council (CAMTC).
Additionally, Sarah is a certified doula and holds a degree in Diagnostic Medical Sonography with a specialty in obstetrics, a combination that makes her especially well-equipped to support expecting and new mothers throughout their journey. She has a particular passion for helping families through pregnancy, postpartum recovery, infant care, and fertility support.
What She Brings to Each Session
Penny specializes in deep tissue massage and trigger point therapy. She also works in Swedish massage and provides pregnancy and hot stone massage. Sessions are tailored to each patient’s needs on that day, and she draws on her full range of training to address what the body is asking for.
Her approach is rooted in listening. Every patient who walks through the door brings a different history and a different set of needs. Penny takes the time to understand what is going on so that each session delivers real results.
Why She Loves What She Does
Penny deeply values the environment at Gonstead Family Chiropractic. The entire team is genuinely focused on helping people get better, and that shared commitment matters to her. Every interaction reflects care and warmth, which is something she looks forward to being part of each day.
Outside the office, Penny tends to a colorful flower garden at home and spends time with her dog and 20-year-old tortoise.
