Desert Bodywork

About Us

Desert Bodywork is a warm invitation to slow down, reconnect with your body, and experience concierge-level massage therapy in the comfort of your own space. As the owner and sole practitioner, Vanessa Johnson brings over 20 years of experience and training in 18+ modalities to every session, blending clinical skill with a heart-centered, authentic touch.

Vanessa is a CAMTC-certified Licensed Massage Therapist serving Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, and the greater Coachella Valley through mobile sessions, plus in-studio appointments at her Salon 119 & Spa partnership location (245 S. Palm Canyon Drive, Suite A4, Palm Springs).

Every session is thoughtfully tailored, whether you're seeking relief from chronic tension, recovery support after injury, or simply a restorative escape from a busy life. Signature offerings include the new Restorative & Sound Session, along with Lymphatic & Cranial Reset and other specialized modalities, available in 60- and 90-minute sessions.

This isn't a one-size-fits-all spa visit. It's personalized bodywork rooted in decades of expertise and a genuine desire to help you feel your best mind, body, and spirit. We'd love to welcome you to the Desert Bodywork experience. "The art of Intentional Bodywork"
