The mind and the body are not separate. What affects one, affects the other.

About Us

I decided to become a massage therapist because I felt drawn to helping others by becoming a healer. Within my massage therapy training, I discovered my own path to healing, especially on an emotional level. Through that journey, I have a deeper understanding of how our emotional health is tied to our physical health. I love to help my clients heal on both levels through massage therapy. Dealing with my own emotional pain, I came to learn that emotional pain can manifest itself as physical pain. By healing one aspect of pain, it can help the other, thereby bringing back balance, peace, and the essential you.

Some of the things I specialize in are low back and hip pain, headaches and migraines, and shoulder pain. It's my privilege to help you achieve wellness: mind, body and spirit....

Client Testimonials

Here's what our clients are saying

This was my first time ever getting a massage and Carie was absolutely amazing. I had such bad pain in my neck and shoulders and she took her time and really worked on it!

Great experience, listened to what I wanted/needed, and loved that I was able to add cupping with no additional charge :).
I feel so much better! Thank YOU!

Carie addressed and focused on my areas of need. She was lovely and I will schedule with her again!
Carie... is professional and kind in her therapy. She is easy to talk to, if you prefer, or comfortable with quiet. She is always on time and provides the full allotted time. She also uses a warmer which is a nice touch. I have seen Carie several times and will continue to do so. She also has the best selection of music soundtracks but I may ask for different music next time. (Teasing)

Came in with very tight upper muscles in my back and shoulders. Left there feeling relaxed and less tight. Will be going regularly
Very good experience. Carrie can really work out the right areas.

First time getting a deep tissue massage, absolutely wonderful!
Carrie listened to what I had going on and gave me an awesome therapeutic massage!

Very professional. Felt comfortable from the start. Exactly what I needed

It is a classic massage that will ease your stress and allow you to slip into a calm state of relaxation. Deep Tissue Massage is a technique used to relieve both muscles and connective tissue below the surface. It helps to improve range of motion and heal injuries below the surface. Focus work gives special attention to specific problem areas.

Carie is very good at what she does. She really listens to your issues you have going on in your muscles. I wish I lived up here so I could have her as my massage therapist.
