About Me

Hi, I’m Lex Kanner, founder of Deeper Roots Massage, a space dedicated to holistic healing, mind-body balance, and personal transformation.

I have a strong foundation in Western medicine. For several years, I worked closely with doctors and surgeons, teaching lab courses for Registered Medical Assistants at Good Samaritan College of Nursing and Science, and training in surgical specialties for over three years. This dual perspective—medical and holistic—deeply informs my approach to healing today. I became stretch certified as a Rocket Ashtanga Instructor to enhance my education on the bodies restorative ways of natural healing back in 2018.

In 2020, as the healthcare landscape shifted, I felt called to pursue a more integrative, client-centered path. I graduated from the Cincinnati School of Medical Massage on January 11, 2024, and soon after, launched Deeper Roots Massage on February 1, 2024. My goal was to create a sanctuary where modern bodywork and ancient healing practices could coexist to support deep, lasting transformation.

Since then, I’ve continued expanding my expertise. I earned a Life Coaching certification in the fall of 2024 and am currently advancing my education in:

  • Integrative Quantum Medicine

  • Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP)

  • Myofascial Release (taught by the renowned John Barnes, PT)

Each modality I study helps me bring a more intuitive, effective, and customized experience to my clients.

My Mission

At Deeper Roots Massage, healing goes beyond relaxation—it’s about reconnecting to your true self. I believe in a collaborative relationship between practitioner and client, where we work together to release what’s holding you back—physically, emotionally, and energetically.

My mission is to empower each person I work with to reclaim their body, realign with their inner wisdom, and rise into the most vibrant version of themselves—all grounded in love, presence, and purposeful care.
