Meet Our Therapists

Tabatha Petersen LMT, RMT, CMT, ART Practitioner, Owner

With over 30 years of experience, Tabatha is a neuromuscular therapist and Active Release Techniques® practitioner specializing in sports therapy, orthopedic injuries, chronic pain, and functional movement.


Tabatha began her career in Canada, graduating from the Canadian College of Massage & Hydrotherapy, where she completed an extensive 2,500-hour massage therapy program grounded in anatomy, physiology, assessment, and clinical treatment. After moving to Southwest Florida, she founded Naples Massage & Neuromuscular, which she built and operated for more than 25 years, establishing a highly regarded sports and medical massage practice.


After selling the practice she had spent decades building, the new owners ultimately defaulted on their obligations. What was intended to mark the culmination of more than 25 years of work, and perhaps the beginning of a well-earned retirement, instead became an unexpected lesson in trust, resilience, and starting over.


Rather than allowing someone else’s failure to become the final chapter of her career, Tabatha chose to rebuild and prove that what she had created once, she could create again. Woods Edge Therapy was born, and former clients responded in force, returning, referring friends, and helping the new practice quickly take root.


Her approach remains highly analytical and results-driven. Rather than simply treating where it hurts, Tabatha looks for the underlying source of pain, restriction, and dysfunction. She works extensively with active adults and athletes, including golfers, pickleball and tennis players, runners, and strength training clients, as well as those who simply want to move better, hurt less, and enjoy their everyday lives.


After three decades, her philosophy is still pretty simple: find the problem, treat it effectively, and help people get back to doing what they love.

Dustin F. RMT/LMT/ART Practitioner

With more than 28 years of clinical experience, Dustin brings exceptional knowledge, skill, and a thoughtful approach to every treatment. Like Tabatha, he completed his massage therapy training in Canada, where orthopedic assessment, anatomy, and clinical treatment are the foundation of education.

Dustin and Tabatha worked together for more than seven years at Naples Massage & Neuromuscular before reuniting at Woods Edge Therapy. They share the same philosophy that lasting results come from identifying the source of a problem, not simply treating where it hurts.

As a certified Active Release Techniques® (ART®) provider with more than five years of experience, Dustin specializes in treating soft-tissue injuries, repetitive-strain, movement restrictions, and chronic pain. His treatments combine precise hands-on therapy with movement-based techniques to restore function, improve mobility, and help clients return to the activities they enjoy.

Whether you're recovering from an injury, training for a sport, or simply looking to move and feel better, Dustin develops each treatment around your individual goals rather than a one-size-fits-all hands-on approach. We are thrilled to welcome him back to the Woods Edge Therapy family. MA41034

Ron A. LMT

With over 15 years of experience in massage therapy, I am passionate  about helping clients feel their best through personalized, therapeutic  bodywork. Specializing in deep tissue, reflexology, and sports massage, I  take a thoughtful approach to each session—whether my clients need  relief from chronic pain, support for injury recovery, or simply a  chance to relax and recharge.  Originally from Texas, I successfully ran my own practice before moving  to Florida, where I’ve continued to focus on delivering exceptional  care. I love connecting with clients, understanding their unique needs,  and working with them to achieve lasting wellness.  Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new restaurants, hiking, and spending  time at the beach. I’m excited to be part of the Woods Edge Therapy  team and look forward to helping our clients move, feel, and live  better.

Education is a key component of Pam’s practice. She believes that when clients understand how their bodies work, they are better equipped to maintain progress and prevent future issues beyond the treatment room.

Stephanie D. LMT

Stephanie has been a licensed massage therapist since 2000, bringing more than 25 years of experience and a deeply therapeutic approach to her work. Her focus is helping clients reduce pain, restore movement, and improve function through individualized, intentional treatment.

Her extensive training includes Neuromuscular Therapy, Trigger Point Therapy, Sports Massage, Myofascial Release, Lymphatic Drainage, and cupping. She enjoys working with clients experiencing chronic pain, muscular tension, restricted movement, sports-related concerns, and those recovering from injury.

Stephanie’s passion for bodywork is also personal. After struggling with severe sciatica and drop foot as a young adult, her own experience with massage, movement, and yoga gave her a lasting appreciation for the body’s ability to recover and adapt. That experience continues to influence the thoughtful and compassionate way she approaches each client.

Her background in yoga, breathwork and meditation gives Stephanie an additional understanding of the connection between movement, tension and overall wellbeing. She blends that perspective with more than two decades of clinical experience to create sessions that can be both highly therapeutic and restorative.

Stephanie remains committed to continuing education and believes the best treatment is never one size fits all. Each session is tailored to the individual in front of her, their goals, and what their body needs that day.

She specializes in customized sessions that blend Swedish, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point Therapy, and stretching to enhance mobility, reduce pain, and improve overall function.

Yelena W. LMT

Yelena Weiss, LMT, is a highly trained lymphatic drainage specialist, known for her advanced skill set and results driven approach. 

Her level of training in lymphatic work is not easily matched in the Naples area, making her a sought after therapist for post surgical swelling, chronic inflammation, and lymphatic congestion.

In addition to lymphatic drainage, Yelena works with therapeutic massage, trigger point therapy, reflexology, and TMJ dysfunction. Her clinical focus and precision allow her to address fluid movement, tissue restriction, and chronic tension, especially in more complex cases.

Yelena brings a direct, no nonsense approach to her work, shaped in part by her Russian background and high professional standards. Her sessions are focused and intentional, aimed at creating real, measurable change. She may come across as intense at first, but that intensity is rooted in a genuine commitment to helping clients heal.

Clients quickly understand that her goal is not relaxation for its own sake, but meaningful progress. She is deeply invested in reducing swelling, restoring function, and getting the body working the way it should. MA44247
