Madison’s passion in working with pain management and utilizing massage for injury recovery began when she was left in chronic pain after a car accident. Having experienced surprising relief with massage treatment, the spark was ignited and she decided to study massage at the Cortiva Institute of Federal Way. Upon graduation in 2014, she has worked nearly exclusively with chiropractors and physical therapists, focusing her skills on deep tissue, cupping and myofascial release techniques to treat both new and chronic injuries.

Her interest and passion has led her to study kinesiology at WWU, aiming always to improve her skills of understanding of the body and how everything works together. Feeling it extremely important to have a large “toolbox” of skills to utilize in treating a wide range of pain and injuries, Madison is also trained and licensed in Intra-Oral Therapy, a specialized technique that works with mouth and jaw muscles to deal with pain associated with TMJ, migraines, head or neck injuries, chronic ear problems, dental surgery recovery and many other medical issues.  She uses a treatment-oriented mindset to bring her patients back to health as quickly as possible, believing strongly that no one should have to deal with chronic pain and immobility amid the daily stress of everyday life. The ability to reverse painful effects of injury on the body and improve overall wellness keeps her excited to come to work every day.

Madison and her husband Garth recently moved to Bellingham in order for her to pursue her Kinesiology degree from WWU. Loving the outdoors, she immerses herself in hobbies of hiking, camping, archery, yoga and just plain exploring. But, she also enjoys all things musical -including playing the drums – and curling up with a good book.
