Heather Basham | The Pampered Pioneer

Heather Basham is a licensed massage therapist with six years of experience. Her bodywork journey began in 2019, and she has developed a unique and specialized practice with a wealth of knowledge to share with her clients. Heather worked as an independent practitioner in McMinnville, but she had a strong desire to broaden her horizon, lean into a sense of adventure, and go on a journey to obtain a more diverse skillset. This led Heather to a number of different spas throughout middle Tennessee, and eventually took her to a luxury spa in Jackson Hole Wyoming called Four Seasons Resort. It was in this prestigious spa environment out west where Heather really began to hone in on her skills and get a taste of what the most luxurious spas had to offer.

Throughout the last six years, Heather has been dedicated to her continued education in addition to the diverse experiences she has had working at luxury spas. Heather’s specialties include Swedish, deep tissue, cupping, hot stone massage, and specialty spa treatments.

Heather is thrilled to be back in her hometown and bringing the luxury experiences she traveled far and wide to learn. Heather’s goal is to provide spa-like treatments that offer a serene and rejuvenating experience that leaves client relaxed and revitalized, and she is looking forward to helping clients reach their wellness goals while providing the highest quality of care.

While Heather is collaborating with Wild Nettle Wellness, she is also building her own business within the walls of Wild Nettle Wellness called “The Pampered Pioneer.” At Wild Nettle Wellness we believe in practitioner autonomy, and we are so excited to welcome Heather’s services as well as her individual business dreams and goals into the space.
