Biography

Anna Cluxton, MBA, LMT, CEMT, spent nearly twenty years in healthcare administration as a project manager, an IT specialist, and a process improvement consultant. But in 2015, she completed certification and licensing to pivot to massage therapy. In addition to her own thriving private practice focused on myofascial release, Anna became certified in equine massage to work on horses. In 2020, Anna closed her human practice and in 2021 joined Nationwide Children's Hospital as a contingent massage therapist. This position gave her the opportunity to treat patients on every unit as well as many outpatient clinics. However, her "heart" always felt most at home working with the patients on the cardio-thoracic ICU and step down unit of H4A and B. So in 2025, she took a full-time position as co-primary massage therapist for the 4th floor. 


In her free time, Anna continues to work on horses, competes in the equestrian sport of dressage, and enjoys traveling with her husband and two dogs.
