THERAPISTS

I love people. I love community. I believe in small business and the importance community is to it. All businesses need checks and balances to keep them on track in integrity and service. My community is essential in keeping our integrity for Centering Massage at its highest potential. We hire seasoned massage therapists with high standards and expectations of themselves. These high standards are always reflected in their massages especially through their personal attention given to each client. Our clients not only leave relaxed but truly touched by another human knowing the importance of who they are in this world. YOU ARE IMPORTANT!

Massage is about relationships. Your relationship with your practitioner is my top priority. To ensure you are our priority, our hourly massages are scheduled every 1 ½ hrs apart. In this way, if you need added time it is available for you or… if you just want to chat a moment with your therapist over a cup of our Tulsi tea your wishes are honored. This also gives my therapists time to recuperate and be FRESH for each client!

You are always welcome to stop by or call and learn for yourself how important you are to us.

I enjoy being able to constantly learn new things about massage and then being able to apply that knowledge to better my technique.

I have been asked why I waited so long to become a massage therapist. The answer is an easy one. I was very busy being a mother of four wonderful children. When I am not working I love spending time with my family which includes my amazing husband and children; playing games, hiking, camping, and watching our favorite tv shows and movies.

I graduated from Port Townsend School of Massage where I discovered the art of massage and the many benefits of caring and therapeutic touch. I marvel at how much massage brings goodness and relief and I love to be a part of that healing journey.

My massage is gentle, fluid, detailed, and thoughtful, with a flow of energy as I practice Swedish, Deep Tissue, Treatment and Prenatal massage. When I come into the massage room, I come fully present and ready to listen to you with curiosity. I bring a great desire to connect with you and find what you and your body need to feel safe, to relax, and to allow your body to receive the many benefits of an individualized massage session.

I’m eager to help you find a place of calm in your body and mind where I can assist you in releasing tension, becoming more present in your body, and gently come closer to a place of balance in your body and mind.

I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and caring for and teaching children through volunteer work. I like discovering the wonders of the ocean while kayaking, getting out into nature while camping, and taking in the sights, sounds and majestic beauty of the PNW beaches!

It’s a privilege to be a part of your healing journey!

My favorite part about being a massage therapist is watching my clients after their massage.  I love seeing how they carry themselves after their massage with less stress and a relaxed body…shoulders are dropped, neck moves more freely and not locked in place.

There is an air about my clients when they get off my table less stressed and I hear this change in their voice.  Their breathing is slower and not rushed with trying to get everywhere.

I love working with our Farmhouse Fresh Spa products both on the table and referring clients to use them at home with self-care.  I would love to show you products I have used and the results I have gotten with them at home and how these results carry over into the massage room in giving me more time to relax you vs. grinding out those knots!

Since I was a child, I had a natural interest and curiosity in how the body works and the human condition and I always wanted to find ways to ease suffering for those in pain. As an adult, I found that massage therapy and bodywork allow me a chance to be in a centered place to provide a way for that calling to unfold.

I became a bodyworker because I enjoy integrating a vast array of modalities and energy work to help the body reconnect and ground into itself allowing for natural healing to take place.

When you come to me for treatment, whether it be fatigue, stress, chronic pain, or injury, I listen to your concerns, your goals and what your body is telling me. I then create a treatment plan to assist in activating your body with various techniques to treat the area and surrounding muscle groups and get you on the road to feeling better. You will experience relief and a sense of lightness, therefore increasing the way for your body to reintegrate unto itself remembering its purpose and true function.

As a therapist with many years of experience, you will come to know me as a warm, caring, and compassionate therapist. I have come to learn that everybody is unique, and everyone has their own life story. My style of therapy is a combined fusion of heart to hand healing sessions, from swedish, lomi lomi, deep tissue, trigger point therapy and myofascial release. Every massage treatment will be different according to the need of each client. I believe massage therapy is a collaboration between therapist and client to help bring relief and ease for overall wellness.

When I am not providing a nurturing, compassionate massage, I love to spend time with my family, hiking, going to the beach and exploring the great PNW, spending time in nature is also important to me as it is a great source of healing and renewal for my body and soul. Developing my spirituality is especially important to me and practicing meditation and prayer helps me ground myself and lead a life of intention, authenticity, and peace so that in my daily life I am able to be present in all aspects of life.

I am excited and look forward to meeting you and working together to bring you closer to your healing journey in health and wellness.

Love & Peace

My goal when giving a massage is to make the client “let go.” Letting go meaning to let go of any stress, worry or anything that is happening outside the now, and bringing them to their inner peace, feeling centered and balanced.

My favorite part of giving a massage is definitely the neck, hips and feet. I also do great treatment work, while also incorporating Reiki and energy work into my massages. My interests outside of being a therapist include writing music, dancing, animals, art and being around nature.

I have been a Massage therapist for over 2 decades. I have studied lots of techniques and learned lots of things. However the one thing that never changes is listening to what my clients say, and really hearing it. I enjoy taking a highly stressed client to totally melty relaxation. I also enjoy working with someone on their range of motion goals.
