Zenergy Therapeutic Massage, or ZTM, is the unexpected dream of its owner and creator -Brian “Panda” Leppert. From an early age he had a strong desire to help others and would proudly exclaim his dream of growing up to be a police officer. He pursued this dream by joining the Boy Scouts to obtain the skills that would aide him in his career path. He immersed himself in the program and obtained the rank of Eagle Scout by the age of 16.

By that time a new way to protect and serve began to emerge. First aid had rapidly become a favorite skill. After graduating high school, he began working in private security while he studied and applied for an EMT license. He became a volunteer fire fighter/EMT at a local fire station. He spent several years walking the paths of law enforcement and first responder.

However, as his family grew, he began to tread solely on the path of law enforcement finally working in the county court house. During his time there he reevaluated his life and beliefs, converting to Buddhism. He started to realize his dream of helping people felt unfulfilled on his current path and enrolled in massage school.

A new dream unfolded before him, helping people through his gift of massage. He never wanted to join an established massage place. His dream was to provide people with the pain relief they deserved, the muscle health to pursue their own dreams, and the atmosphere of someone who knows that service is more than a word…It’s personal.

ZTM opened their doors in 2016. Since then hundreds of people have received services to increase quality of life. Several have been able to reduce or eliminate prescription painkillers and even more have been able to perform activities they thought pain had taken from them.
