I have fallen in love with deep tissue and therapeutic massage. My specialty lies in the intersection between therapeutic relaxation and deep tissue, medical massage. I combine the two to create a unique massage and bodywork experience in my home studio in the Mac-Groveland neighborhood in Saint Paul.
I have learned on a deeper, physiological level that the environment in which we set our selves makes all the impact on our overall health and well-being. The capabilities we have as humans astounds me. There is hope in finding relief from the deep pain we can carry. I have witnessed this in my own life, and it is a deep need for me to help others witness this and create this change in their own life.
My goal is to create an environment that helps release the issues in your tissues. :) I manipulate the soft tissues, reminding them that it is okay to let go and release. Tension and stress melt away as you relax into the comfort of the table; nested with cozy bolsters for ultimate relaxation alongside essential oils and soothing sound therapy. I even have a few custom ambient soundtracks that I co-created with my friend in their music studio. My companion Oliver the Standard Poodle will greet you and rest in the hallway while you receive your treatment. He is fluffy and loving and so nice to pet while we plan out your customized session during our intake.
My intense training from my associates degree in Clinical Massage Therapy has allowed me to create change in my client's tissues and see them become more active, release deep seated knots, and maintain an increased sense of health and well-being. My research and training on therapeutic relaxation and mindfulness helps me to help you settle into the space, allowing me to care for you. Your job is to do nothing, just breathe.
With my knowledge and the accumulation of my studies the last ten years of health and wellness, I hope to create a space of relaxation, peacefulness, light-heartedness, and joy. A space to let go in comfort. A space to give the body room to smile. In doing so, I believe we give way to a prosperous way of living. These massages do involve some pain as I use deep tissue and medical techniques, however, as we work together and breath through it, the benefits outweigh the temporary discomfort.
Currently, a licensed Clinical Massage Therapist with an Associates of Applied Sciences in Clinical Sports Massage Therapy from Saint Paul College, I have a variety of MFR, trigger -point therapy, and other deep tissue techniques to curate a session tailored for your self and your body. I am also trained in cupping as well.
Together, we can create the space of comfort to best suit your needs and give your self the ability to let go, to re-set, and to re-center.
In Joy,
