Massage Therapy

Your body works hard for you every day. Taking care of your kids or grandkids. Lugging groceries and laundry. Pushing through workouts. So keep your body moving well and feeling its best with massage therapy as part of your self-care routine. Choose from sessions between 30–90 minutes long. Each personalized session may include different techniques to address your specific musculoskeletal issues and injuries. All designed to improve functionality, reduce pain, and enhance mobility.

How it Works

  1. Let’s Talk About You!
  2. At your first session, we discuss your health history, treatment guidelines, and what type(s) of massage are best for you. At each follow-up session, we check in on how you’ve been feeling and any changes since your last treatment.
  3. Your Treatment
  4. Each treatment is customized to your comfort level and focuses on the areas that are affecting you the most. Treatments may include a combination of stretching, deep breathing, CBD oil, or silicone cups, which we discuss before we begin.
  5. Your Continued Care
  6. Lastly, we review stretches and exercises that can reduce pain and discomfort after your treatment. Video tutorials and exercise prescriptions are also available for an additional fee.

Natalie knows her stuff!

Natalie knows her stuff! She does a fabulous job working out tight muscles and gives really good advice for stretching exercises to help keep problem areas in check. I recommend Natalie, she is the best! – Andy B

Natalie discovered and identified the source of the issue

I saw Natalie, as I routinely do for a sports massage. This time we focused on a nagging quad tightness that has been occurring during specific exercise movements only. Natalie took the time to listen to what was going on, used charts for visuals, and with her extensive knowledge was able to discover and identify the source of issue, which ironically was not near the pain area. Natalie then prescribed a course of action to alleviate and correct the issue. – Frank G

Professionalism & Attention to Detail

Natalie, I want to thank you for your skill and kindness as you helped rehab my broken ankle. The exercises that you helped me with, the stretches and focused massage all helped to decrease the amount of down time, allowing me to heal quickly. My calf muscle had atrophied and wasn’t there when you began and I am very happy to have it back now. Along with your professionalism, your attention to detail in following up on care is something from a very long time ago when doctors made house calls. I really appreciate it, thank you. – Timothy T

 

Purely Awesome!

Natalie was amazing! Not only was she able to relieve the stress & pain in my back, but with her myofascial techniques, she helped my mobility in my arms! I’ve gone to a number of massage therapists & Natalie rates far above all of them. I will continue to see her whenever I possibly can! Being a big guy, she has the strength in her hands to get deep into the muscle! Awesome! Purely awesome! – Brian H

 

Types of Massage

Myofascial Release

Best for treating dull achy pain with less pressure than deep tissue massage
This specialized technique focuses on the fascia—the connective tissue that surrounds and supports our muscles and organs. I use gentle, sustained pressure and stretching to release tension and tightness within the fascia. So you can move easier with less pain.

Swedish Massage

Best for relaxation and stress relief This traditional technique uses a combination of long gliding movements, kneading, and gentle stretching. Perfect for relieving your muscle tension.

Deep Tissue Massage

Best for chronic pain, overuse injuries, or while in physical therapy This specialized form of massage addresses pain in deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. I target specific areas with slow but firm pressure to relieve chronic muscle tension, improve your posture, and promote relaxation. Some techniques use my elbows, stretching, and various massage tools.

Cupping Therapy

Best for relieving pain and enhancing overall wellbeing This ancient practice places cups on your skin to create a suction effect. It improves blood flow, reduces muscle tension, and promotes relaxation. Cups may leave temporary red marks on your skin, so I glide the cups across your skin to minimize those marks. No octopus hugs here!

Trigger Point Therapy

Best for treating ‘knots’ where your body holds tension This technique targets specific adhesions (sometimes called knots) within muscles that cause tension and refer pain. I use localized direct pressure and tools like a wooden knob or silicone cups to break up the adhesions. Your muscles will thank you.

Sports Massage

Best for preventing/recovering from injuries and improving athletic performance Sports massage takes a hybrid approach. I target specific muscle groups using a variety of techniques, like deep tissue massage, stretching, trigger point therapy, and cupping therapy. After your treatment, you also get a personalized stretching or exercise program with video tutorials to help you continue your self-care at home.
