The MOSS Team

  • Program Coordinator & Health & Wellness Media Developer

    Tess joined MOSS Wellness as a summer intern and quickly became an integral part of our team. Now serving as Program Coordinator and Health & Wellness Media Developer, she brings fresh energy and expertise to our mission of holistic well-being.

    A rising senior at UNC studying Health Science with a focus on nutrition, Tess is a valued member of our nutrition team who spearheads the creation and development of our health and wellness content. Her academic background and passion for accessible wellness education allow her to translate complex nutritional concepts into engaging, practical resources that empower our community.

    From developing educational materials to coordinating programs, Tess's work reflects MOSS Wellness's commitment to making health and wellness knowledge both inspiring and actionable. Her dedication to helping others thrive through evidence-based nutrition and whole-person wellness makes her an essential voice in our growing community.

  • Massage Therapist

    With a healing touch that spans three decades, Noriko brings a wealth of holistic wellness experience to every session. 

    Noriko’s journey began with Swedish relaxation massage 30 years ago, evolving into a comprehensive practitioner that combines both Eastern and Western therapeutic approaches.

    Drawing from her diverse background in pharmacy and holistic healing arts—including aromatherapy, Reiki, and tuning fork therapy—Noriko offers a uniquely integrated approach to bodywork. 

    As a licensed massage therapist with 8 years of practice in the US, she specializes in:

    * Therapeutic Massage

    * Prenatal Massage

    * Table Thai Massage

    * Relaxation/Swedish Massage

    Noriko’s extensive knowledge and nurturing presence create a deeply restorative experience tailored to each client’s needs.

  • We're thrilled to introduce Daisy, our newest coach who brings a refreshing blend of reliability, relatability, and results-driven guidance to our team.

    Daisy believes that true well-being starts with clarity—clear communication with yourself and others, consistent support, and practical action steps you can actually follow. Her no-nonsense approach cuts through the noise to help you maximize your existing strengths while discovering new mental and physical capabilities you didn't know you had.

    What sets Daisy apart? She leads by example, simplifies the complex, and maintains complete transparency throughout your wellness journey. Whether you're building confidence, developing resilience, or working toward sustainable lifestyle changes, Daisy provides the accountability and encouragement that turn potential into tangible results.

    If you're ready for a coach who meets you where you are and helps you grow from there, Daisy is accepting new clients for both virtual 1:1 and small group training sessions starting this month.

    Bienvenida, Daisy—we're excited to have you on the team!

Grow with MOSS.

At MOSS Wellness, we believe true health happens at the intersection of nutrition, movement, massage, and education—where body, mind, and soul work together, not in isolation.

We're building a multi-disciplinary team of practitioners who understand that healing is integrative, personalized, and deeply connected to how we show up in our lives.

Whether you're a massage therapist, nutritionist, fitness professional, or wellness educator, if you're passionate about whole-person care and ready to build something meaningful together—we want to meet you.

Why MOSS Wellness:

We practice at the intersection of individual transformation and organizational impact. Our work spans one-on-one client care, community education, and workplace wellness programs—all rooted in evidence-based practice and inclusive, affirming care. You'll join a team that values curiosity, collaboration, and continuous growth, where your expertise is both honored and expanded through our integrative approach. We specialize in hormone health and reproductive wellness while serving clients across all gender identities and life stages. Here, your work contributes to something bigger: helping people feel better in their bodies so they can thrive in their lives.

What we're looking for:

Practitioners who are skilled in their craft, open to learning across disciplines, and committed to treating the whole person—not just symptoms. If you value connection over convenience and believe wellness is a journey, not a quick fix, you'll fit right in.
