Rhiannon O’Hearn, Stylist
I have been a part of Spa Collections since the year 2000. I have a true passion for Aveda™ and for making people feel better about the way they look and feel. My continuing education keeps me motivated and my techniques up to date.

Angela Dorksen, Licensed Massage Therapist
I've been a licensed massage therapist since 1999, and in 2000 became certified in LaStone Therapy (the Original Hot Stone Massage). I've completed various continued education hours related to Aveda spa services, head and neck problems, pregnancy, and muscle aches due to stress, illness, and/or injury. As a Professional Member of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) I am committed to lifelong learning.
I believe in client-centered care by providing individualized massage treatments in a professional and caring manner. Pressure and techniques vary depending on treatment protocol and client comfort. A clean and relaxing environment enhances the massage experience, and I want our spa guests to take with them a renewed sense of calm.
David Kangas, Licensed Massage Therapist
I have been a state licensed medical massage therapist since July of 2004. Prior to moving to Wooster and joining the staff of Spa Collections, I have been performing massage therapy in various environments within the state of Ohio, including clinics, fitness centers, spas, and corporate functions (corporate chair massage). I have studied a wide variety of different massage modalities such as Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports Massage, Myofacial Release, chair massage and many more.
My style of massotherapy integrates the techniques of various modalities into each session, to help make each guest's experience both therapeutic and relaxing. I don't believe that a massage has to be painful to be productive, so I consciously apply an amount of pressure that is most beneficial to each individual guest, depending on their preference (which may range from light to deep) . I strive to treat each guest of our fine facility with the utmost respect and offer them the best service that I can give.
