We are the board and delegates representing AMTA in New Hampshire. The mission of AMTA is to serve members while advancing the art, science, and practice of massage therapy.
Current Board Members
President – Bethany Chabot
Bethany brings strength, leadership, and high visibility to the chapter. She heads up social media for AMTA-NH and is a passionate connector — equally at home leading a team or striking up a conversation with a stranger. A powerhouse who loves adventures, physical challenges, and making people feel valued.
Financial Adminstrator – Greg Miner
Coming soon
Secretary — Amanda Bryan
Amanda Bryan has been a practicing massage therapist for 15 years, based in the Merrimack/Bedford, NH area. She blends therapeutic modalities — including Swedish, myofascial, and Thai-influenced bodywork — with Reiki and yoga-informed body awareness to offer clients a bioemotional healing experience, one that addresses the body and the nervous system together, not just the muscle.
Amanda is a Reiki Master Teacher and owner of SoNew Yoga and Amanda Bryan Holistic Wellness, and currently serves as Secretary on the AMTA-NH board.
Board Member – Barb McKenney (odd year)
Barbara McKenney MMT, LMT, and CPT
A native of the Lake Winnipesaukee region, Barbara McKenney has always felt most at home in the great outdoors. Growing up with a deep love for sports and an active lifestyle, she naturally gravitated toward a career centered on movement, healing, and performance.
Barbara specializes in post-operative care, injury recovery, athletic performance, TMJ dysfunction, and structure-function alignment. Her approach combines a deep anatomical understanding with a compassionate, client-focused mindset.
As an athlete herself, Barb understands firsthand the vital connection between proper therapy and optimal body function. This personal insight fuels her passion for helping others recover, rebuild, and thrive.
When she’s not working with clients, you’ll likely find her hiking the local trails with her dog, exploring underwater worlds through scuba diving, or embracing any outdoor adventure that keeps her moving and inspired.
Board Member — Angie Preisendorfer (even year)
A steady and reliable presence on the board, Angie previously served as Secretary before moving to her current Board Member role. She has been instrumental in venue acquisition for education events and is known for her ability to bring people together — with fun always on the agenda. Angie loves the outdoors, adventures, and working quietly behind the scenes to make things happen.
