Alexa Pagnani

Licensed Massage Therapist

Alexa is originally from Connecticut and was introduced to AcuMedGroup Wellness Center in early 2021.
 
Alexa studied Communications through the honors program in college but two years after graduating, was called to massage therapy after finding the desire to help people more directly. Because of this, one of her favorite things about the occupation is understanding and connecting with them on a deeper level.
