My original motivation for becoming a massage therapist is my husband.  As an amateur cyclist in his youth, he had been introduced to the benefits of massage, and needed it both for athletic recovery and for previous injuries sustained.  Eventually I attended the Denver School for Massage Therapy in Aurora, completing my studies with the top of my class.  I am Board Certified, as well as a Certified Infant Massage Instructor.

Therapeutic massage is my passion. I use a combination of Trigger Point, Swedish, Deep Tissue, Reflexology, Injury & Sports Massage, Movement & Structural, Shiatsu and Acupressure, and Cranial Sacral techniques in most of my massages.  I am also adept at Chair Massage, Pregnancy Massage, Lymphatics, and Aromatherapy, and have received continuing education in Gua Sha, and can also do Intra-Oral work.  I have training in Hydrotherapy and am excited about using wraps and scrubs in my personal business.  I also hope to expand on my limited knowledge and experience in Abhyanga Massage and Russian Sports Massage.  I am listed as a CMS registered user.

People who see me often deal with neck issues or other issues of pain and/or weakness throughout the body, including shoulders, low back, and hips.  I often help people who deal with regular headaches or chronic pain, and assist clients with medical conditions.

I have been a licensed massage therapist for 6 years, and began my career opening the Lakewood Green Leaf, which eventually became Tree of Life Massage Center.  I worked there until it closed. My private studio is located in Centennial, CO, where I now work full time.

I hope to continue my studies, eventually including Rolfing in my repertoire.  Massage is fascinating to me, and I see myself always learning a new modality, always finding new ways to help my clients!

REVIEWS for my Bodywork, Coaching, or Spa services

My goodness, what can I say about this fantastic, knowledgeable, and gifted therapist? My husband has been enduring chronic pain for months, and I just had a massage to help address some of these issues. Not only did Elizabeth step up to the plate, but she went even further by adding a few more minutes to the much-needed session to ensure he received what was needed. On top of that, I received a text describing what was done, what needs to be done, and aftercare protocols. Her attention to detail is appreciated, and we plan to proceed with regular therapy moving forward. Hubby was very sore the next day, but he is improving, and we are optimistic that relief is on its way. Thank you, Elizabeth!

Elizabeth has given me the best massages I’ve ever gotten in my life. She is clearly very knowledgeable and responsive. She can use a variety of pressures and tools, and her deep pressure truly feels “deep” not just forceful. Everything is intentional and tailored toward the client, which is exactly what I am looking for.

Elizabeth is above and beyond - a great masseuse. She inqires what she needs to work on, and spends time on those items, and then continues to finish the full body massage. It makes you feel totally relaxed. Highly recommend her.
