Welcome, we are so happy you are here.

I am Diamilet O’Donnell, Owner & Founder of Tension Relief Massage Therapy

Focused on bringing a compassionate, client-centered approach to wellness and healing. Born in Puerto Rico and fluent in both English and Spanish offers a warm and inclusive environment for individuals seeking physical relief and relaxation.

I hold a degree in Medical Assistant and Nurse Aide from Great Lakes Institute of Technology. My background in healthcare enhances my understanding of the body’s muscular and physiological systems. This medical foundation, paired with my passion for therapeutic care, allows me to deliver personalized treatments that promote long-term wellness.

In addition to my professional work, I am an active and adventurous individual who finds balance in the outdoors, enjoy sightseeing, traveling, fishing, dancing, cooking, and most of all spending meaningful time with my children.

With deep roots in both science and service, I am committed to helping clients achieve physical comfort, mental clarity, and overall well-being through massage therapy.

Your therapists

Meet the therapists who have helped shape Tension Relief Massage Therapy into what it is today.

Jacob Van Hooser
Licensed Massage Therapist

Hi, I’m Jacob, a licensed massage therapist and proud Erie native. I graduated from Great Lakes Institute of Technology in 2019 with a focus on therapeutic techniques that go beyond relaxation — including myofascial release and deep tissue massage.

At Tension Relief Massage Therapy, my goal is simple: help people feel better in their bodies. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, muscle tension, or just need to unwind, I customize each session to meet your unique needs and help you move through life with less discomfort and more ease.

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll probably find me making music, creating something new, or connecting with people in my community. Helping others — whether through massage or creativity — is what drives me every day.

Eric
Licensed Massage Therapist

I received my massage therapy degree from Great Lakes Institute of Technology in 2014. As well as being a massage practitioner for nine years, I am also a part-time instructor at GLIT. I specialize in therapeutic bodywork- including relief from chronic pain, injuries, or just day to day wear and tear! Some of the more common conditions I can alleviate include sciatic pain, tension headaches, lower back issues, neuralgia, fibromyalgia, and general tension. I am very versed in helping you relax.

I would highly recommend Tension Relief because of the professionalism and knowledge. They pride themselves on the highest quality of service and the pricing structure is very affordable. The proof is in the pudding.

Jake has the innate ability to take my description of my various pains and issues and target and resolve the muscular problems causing them. More often than not, the problem areas causing my issues aren't even where I'm feeling pain, but are in places that cause a chain of pulling muscles. He is very skillful at locating and relieving these, and has fixed various aches and pains I've been just living with for years.

One of the best massage experience I have ever had!!! I have been struggling for months with a low back muscle spasm, after my apt I felt so much better and the spasm has finally resolved itself! It’s such a relief to know that I have found someone that will be able to really help me manage my chronic pain issues.

The entire office is amazing. Kerry Lee is the best massage therapist ever. She is so sweet and you will leave totally stress free and relaxed. Highly recommend her.
