Meet our team
Maggie McGinnis Kerns, LMT
Hello! I am Maggie McGinnis Kerns, owner of Imagine Peace. I graduated from Body Wisdom Massage Therapy School and became a licensed massage therapist in 2007. I build my massage therapy sessions around each client's needs and work with clients of all ages, even children. I can help you with focused deep tissue work, injury recovery and pain relief or just let you de-stress, relax your mind and renew your spirit.
I was a birth doula for many years, and I have a special passion for working with clients throughout pregnancy and early parenthood. If you need help with pregnancy resources, creating your birth plan, breastfeeding, babywearing, cloth diapering, finding the right care provider (I know all the best people), gardening, or anything else you can think of - please pick my brain, I am happy to help!
My happy home is shared with my husband Jacob,
six children, and a house full of pets.
We spend our days together creating art, gardening, reading, dancing, and playing.

You may recognize JP from Sahar’s Salon & Day Spa, where he worked full time for 12 years. He had now been on the Imagine Peace team for 5 years! JP specializes in relaxation, deep tissue, prenatal, and hot stone massage in a passive way to allow you to “tune out.” JP’s main goal is to reduce your muscle tension and sense of stress in a safe and comfortable environment. Jon Paul hopes to guide you to a better, more peaceful, state of mind and body!

"My approach focuses on creating a calm, healing space where each session is customized to meet your body’s unique needs. Beyond massage, I enjoy expressing my creativity through art and making wire-wrapped jewelry—both of which inspire my sense of mindfulness and connection. My goal is to bring that same creativity and care into every session, helping clients leave feeling lighter, more grounded, and renewed." -Teonna
