My name is Tess Falk. I am part owner of @PEACE Massage & Bodywork in Orlando, Florida, with my husband and fellow Master Myoskeletal Therapist Abiola Washington. We are a talented team of professionally Licensed Massage Therapists, Certified Kinesio Taping Practitioners and now MMT’s. We are professional members of the American Massage Therapy Association with a combined experience of 34+ years in the field, with a passion for helping our patients live a more stress- and pain-free life.
I discovered Erik and the Freedom from Pain Institute in 2009. I was determined, after taking a local class with Paul Kelly, to travel to Costa Rica for Erik’s amazing pain management retreat in paradise in 2022. I knew right away I wanted to complete the whole program. It was clear this retreat only scratched the surface of the 110 techniques Erik’s program educates you in.
Abiola and I returned to paradise in 2024 to complete and graduate as MMT’S. Abiola and I pride ourselves in our ability to educate our clients, and becoming MMT’S has allowed us to communicate ways to unwind pain patterns, the medical reasoning behind them, and how to help prevent future issues. The treatments are the assessments and vice versa. The program is repetitive in drilling these concepts in the best of ways and has given both of us the confidence to communicate and find the root cause or refer out if needed.
MAT techniques are body saving, easy to add into my flow and super helpful for both my body and the way I practice getting clear, real, affective results with each patient. Often, they will comment on how much more balanced they feel with less pain during sessions. We were able to increase our rates and have found a niche in the medical community for referrals and great places to refer for issues beyond our scope.
@PEACE is more than just massage. We are committed to using the most effective modalities to provide focused bodywork for preventative and rehabilitative therapy, and that greatly involves the skills we have learned as MMT’S. We are proud to be a part of the Dalton Gang.

I’ve been aware of Erik and the Freedom from Pain Institute for many years due to his presence in massage magazine advertisements, but it wasn’t until taking a MAT continuing education course with Paul Kelly that I realized how much more effective I became in my own practice.
In 2022, Tess and I got the opportunity to travel to Costa Rica for Erik’s amazing pain management retreat. It was clear that this retreat only scratched the surface of the 110 techniques Erik’s program teaches. Initially, I wasn’t going to go into the MMT program, but my wife encouraged me to do it, and I’m glad that I did. Studying MAT and applying the techniques in my practice has given me more confidence in being able to clearly explain to my clients what their issues are and how we can go about resolving some of them. The techniques are easy to add to my own personal style of bodywork based on each individual’s need, and I like that a lot.Becoming an MMT has also given us the ability to raise our rates, and that’s always a plus. 🙂
