Today we’d like to introduce you to Deon Milton.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Deon. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
My journey in massage started off with a phone call from one of the representatives from Everest while I was working at Walmart asking if I was ready for a change to take control of my future. At the time of the call, I was mentally frustrated with being in the workforce and working for someone else’s dream.
Within minutes of getting that phone call I got another call that my best friend had just died in a motorcycle accident, his favorite thing to say was “You only get 1 life.” So I decided to take a risk on myself and pursue something I wanted to do. At the time massage was just an idea I didn’t realize at the time what massage would mean to me and change my outlook on life externally and internally. Massage has been instrumental in my growth within myself along as with others. It teaches you while you teach others. I am a healer through touch. I learn so that I’m able to teach, I listen so that I can comprehend and apply, and most importantly I help start the healing process of internal trauma we all face or ignore.
Has it been a smooth road?
As a massage therapist, the journey has been up and down. From working in chains to learning the business and learning your worth as a therapist to understand our worth is being undervalued. Having a healthy work environment for you to thrive in is essential to your growth as a massage therapist and sometimes you have to go through certain situations to show you what is for you. It took me eight years to finally take a leap of faith and start being independent. The journey hasn’t been easy but it’s worth it because its mine and I control my own destiny. What you put in is what you get out of it. This is my 11th year as a LMT est. 6/09. Things are finally starting to grow and evolve and I’m excited about the possibilities that are in store for me.

The Art of Wellness: Body Whisper ATL
The concept of healing thru touch while educating you on your stress or triggers help calm your anxiety thru breathing exercises, alleviate tension in your body and keeping your muscles with healthy circulation. I perform full-body massages and body treatments to all genders. As a Massage Therapist I am most proud of presenting a service to those in need of healing on an internal level. What makes me different from others is my attention to detail, my patience, my knowledge of the body and education. I give to all clients for them to comprehend exactly what I’m doing. My thing is being exclusive, so my technique that I’ve created that I customize to each client’s specific needs is what all of my clients love the most. The goal is teaching clients to learn energy and learn the power of touch and how its healing. I even educate and teach couples who have trouble with intimacy the process of what touch can do for you and your partner. I take pride in my gift and love change the way people feel about life and their bodies.
Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
What I love most about being in Atlanta is that there are a lot off affluent black families and success stories along with the diversity and integration of so many different races you get to interact and learn from all walks of life. You get to come into contact with different energies and grow with a vast knowledge of different people. What I don’t like about Atlanta is the traffic.
