Pamela Fisher, Owner, Nationally Certified Bodyworker Massage Therapist
Graduated University of Alaska Anchorage Therapeutic Massage Program June '99


Pamela Fisher grew up in the Quad Cities and graduated from Moline High School in 1977. Three years later she got a summer job in Skagway, Alaska, and ended up living there for the next 20 years. In early 1998, Pam followed her gut feelings and enrolled in an acupressure apprenticeship at the Alaska Whole Health Institute, which led her to the University of Alaska Anchorage Therapeutic Massage Program. She completed her 500-hour acupressure apprenticeship and her 1,025-hour massage program in June 1999.

Ten days after graduation, Pam had an accident on her Harley (riding back to Anchorage from the HOG Rally in Fairbanks, Alaska) and broke her arm, giving her ample time to rethink her future. At the end of July 1999 as she was about to remove her cast, she made the life-altering decision to move back to the MidWest to be near her family. Pam bought a house in Moline, closed her bank accounts in Alaska, transferred her truck and Harley titles to Illinois, and settled in for anything but a boring life in the Quad Cities.

Pam opened Touch and Go Chair Massage kiosks at the Quad City Airport and NorthPark and Southpark Malls, and then opened Two Rivers Massage in downtown Moline. Since then, Two Rivers Massage has grown into one of the most recognized and respected massage therapy businesses in our area.

Pam reorganized and taught the Black Hawk College 600-hour Massage Therapy and Bodywork Program in 2001/2002, and offers Partner Massage class to anyone who would like to learn how to massage at home; as well as continuing education courses for massage therapists.

Pam no longer massages. She has developed Two Rivers Massage and del Sole Barefoot Spa into such a wonderful massage practice, that her full time job is doing the scheduling, bookkeeping, marketing, advertising, and basic management of both places. Pam used to offer d a r n good Swedish and Therapeutic Massage with craniosacral therapy added in as needed. She used to offers acupressure, hot stone massage, chair massage, and was THE ONLY THERAPIST IN THE QCA to offer Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy. Pam formerly taught the Partner Massage Workshops and offered massage parties in your home or office.

Pam loves to give and receive massages; however, when she is not working, she can be found riding her Harley (a 2007 FLHRSE3 Screamin' Eagle Road King), camping, fishing (fly fishing preferred), or walking her dog, Buster, an Australian Blue Heeler, which she found at www.petfinder.com

Graduated Black Hawk College Massage Therapy Program, Moline IL  Dec '09


Greg is a big fan of providing Deep Tissue Massage and feels he is GREAT at providing a good thorough and effective Deep Tissue session.  Greg finds the connection between how the knot got there and how it reacts when trying to release it  interesting to experience. 

Greg says:  "I want to help!  I pride myself in my work, and I want you to be able to feel your best!!  It's tough to deal with constant aches and pains, and a regular massage, even once a month, can make a huge difference in your life."

Abby is proficient in a variety of massage modalities including Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports, Shiatsu, Hot Stone, and Trigger Point Therapy.  "I enjoy bringing bits of each to create a unique massage experience for each client," Abby says.  Her favorite technique, however, is Deep Tissue/Sports Massage because "I find muscle-specific work to be therapeutic and when the client benefits and feels better, I am happy!"

Abby thoroughly enjoys and encourage traveling.  She spent two years on Oahu, two years in Southern California, and one year as a Nanny in Southwest Australia.  Abby wants to be sure to tell you "I've been collecting sunshine for the last five years and I'm back in the QC's with plenty to share!"

Buster Dawg
Meeter-Greeter

Rest In Peace, Buster! 
I had to put Buster to rest on 3.2.9 due to complications from Cushings Disease.  He will be missed by me as much as by my staff and our clients!  Thanks for loving him - he was a great companion!

Buster is Pam's 9 year old Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler) who loves to hang out at the office and meet all of our clients. He is gentle and quiet, and loves a scratch behind the ears, or a belly rub! During his off time, Buster loves walks at the river, chasing bunnies and squirrels, and fine dining!!
