"Pain is never the problem. Pain is simply a symptom of the problem."

My passion lies in helping you find the real problem causing your pain, loss of range of motion, or injuries. Pain comes from imbalances in the body. A balanced body has no reason to give you the body's alarm system that something is wrong (pain). Once we find where the imbalances are exactly coming from in the body, I treat those areas and help you understand your body, so that you can have the pursuit of living truly pain free! "Once you truly understand something, it cannot hurt you."...

Neuromuscular

This is simply using the knowledge of how the nerves and muscles intertwine in the body in addition how they communicate with each other, to help us understand where your pain/ imbalance is coming from.

Trigger Point Therapy

A trigger point is a point in the body that refers pain or a sensation to another part of the body. A great example of this is the headache: many muscles in and around the neck area will refer pain to a part of the head, when a trigger point forms. I use my palpation skills along with communication with you to treat these trigger points. I will use this technique if needed during any therapeutic massage.

Deep Tissue

Continuing Education 2016: Always have loved deep tissue, and took continuing education at Burke Williams Spa in California in 2016.

Prenatal

Continuing Education 2016: Massage for the mother-to-be! Great for you and for baby at any point during pregnancy, regardless of trimester.

Lymphatic Drainage for Detoxification

Continuing Education 2015: Great for detox of environmental toxins, toxins from foods or medicines, even great for patients after chemotherapy treatment. Also helps with swelling anywhere on the body! Be prepared to drink plenty of water before and after your session.

Neurokinetic Therapy Level 1

Continuing Education 2017: (in process of certification) Utilizing muscle tests to find out the EXACT spot in your body that is compensating for another muscle, causing imbalance, weakness, and/or pain. Great for anyone with pain, limited range of motion, or if you just want to see how balanced your body is! Muscle test away, and let's find exactly what is happening with your body!

Great Job

This was my first appointment with Erica and I was very happy with the massage and the outcome. The movement in my neck improved considerably and she gave me an exercise to do at home that has helped as well. I already scheduled my next appointment.
