Today we’d like to introduce you to Natalie Preusser.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Wow, where do I start? I grew up having to fight for everything I have now, it surely wasn’t an easy way coming up. My journey started off down a completely different path than expected. I had moved to Cincinnati from Warren, OH (4.5 hours away from home) when I was just 18 years old with less than $20 to my name. I was embarked on a journey to go to the University of Cincinnati, study pre-med, and become a neurosurgeon. I did about 2 years of time at UC, even working in a hospital in the OR when I fell in love with holistic medicine and holistic healing. I made a huge decision to drop out of UC and go to medical massage school in Blue Ash. Who would’ve ever thought that was the best year of my life. Every day felt like I was living a dream and I never knew I’d end up where I am now. After long nights and early mornings, I walked into the testing center to take the MBLEX (State Medical Board Exam) and… I PASSED. I’ve never cried so hard in my life than that day realizing I PASSED and could go on to be a therapist in OH. I practiced and mentored for about a year with clients taking every bit of knowledge I could learn. I knew 2022 was going to be the time for me to keep growing but within my own practice! I just opened Bee-Healed Massage & Stretch Therapy LLC in 2022. Hi! My name is Natalie P. and I am a Licensed Massage Therapist who specializes in deep tissue, sports therapy, myofascial release, and Thai massage. I graduated from Cincinnati School of Medical Massage in 2021, and have continued my education since then.
I’ve always admired bees for their healing properties, hard work, and their purpose for the environment. Without bees, we would lose various important resources, such as fruit, vegetables, and the entire act of pollination. Similar to if we don’t take care of our bodies we would decline in function, like limiting our range of motion, mobility, and energy.
What I envision for BEE-HEALED is a different approach to massage by incorporating multiple forms of healing like Thai stretch & more. I take pride in educating my clients to understand why they feel the way they do in their bodies, how to resolve it and continue the healing process together. Massaging can extend beyond relaxation, it could be pain management, athletic strengthening, rejuvenating and more. I look forward to helping each client BEE-come one with their body.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
No. I honestly don’t even know where to start with struggles. I grew up and came from a town with not much opportunity, growing up on welfare, and having 2 jobs since I was 15 to help support my family. Not a single thing thus far has been easy or smooth. Moving to Cincinnati I had to sacrifice so many things, and granted, I grew and became someone great but it wasn’t easy. There were nights I felt so alone, tired, and depressed I didn’t know where to start. I just kept pushing, through the depression, the anger, the tears, The days when studying for an exam seemed like the hardest thing to do, I did it. I worked two jobs all throughout college and was a full-time student. I didn’t know if I’d ever be comfortable just doing what I love because I’d never known financial peace or stability. This journey hasn’t been easy, and it still isn’t. Opening up your own business is a risk, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Even opening up to a magazine for me to tell my story it something big because honestly, I’ve never thought I was going to get this far.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Bee-Healed Massage & Stretch Therapy LLC?

What sets me apart from others would be the fact that I take every aspect of your health into account when I work with you. It’s not just physical health, but emotional, mental, and spiritual health. I’d love to also incorporate that I don’t judge a single person that walks through my doors, weight, ethnicity, job, nothing bothers me. I love to work with everyone because we all have a story and a journey we are going through!
