Meet the owner
Elena Vans Evers, Owner, Massage Therapist & Yoga Teacher
hi there!!
I’m Elena, the owner and founder of Urban Zen Bodywork.
As a fourth-generation Floridian, I’m deeply rooted in this community. I’m also a wife, a mom to two incredible children, and currently preparing to welcome another little one into our family. Those roles have shaped my passion for creating a business centered around connection, compassion, and exceptional care.
My Journey
For nearly 20 years, I've dedicated my life to helping others heal through therapeutic bodywork. I'm a Licensed Massage Therapist and a Certified 500-Hour Yoga Teacher, and my passion has always been creating meaningful experiences that help people feel better.
Urban Zen Bodywork began over a decade ago as a one-woman practice. Five years later, I took a leap of faith and opened what many of our clients lovingly call "The Magical Healing Cottage." Today, Urban Zen has grown into a thriving boutique wellness studio with a talented team of massage therapists and skincare professionals who share the same passion for exceptional care.
Our Mission
At Urban Zen, we believe healing is more than just a service—it's an experience.
From the moment you walk through our doors, every detail has been thoughtfully designed to help you slow down, feel cared for, and reconnect with yourself. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all treatments. Every massage, facial, and wellness service is personalized to your unique needs.
I personally select and mentor every member of our team, sharing the techniques and standards I've developed throughout my career. Together, we've built a culture rooted in compassion, excellence, and continuous growth.
Our goal is simple: to provide results-driven care while creating a space where every guest feels genuinely welcomed, supported, and renewed.
Whether you're seeking pain relief, stress reduction, radiant skin, or simply an hour to breathe, we're honored to be part of your wellness journey.
