About Us

*Currently working with fully vaccinated, masked clients*

I became a massage therapist because I wanted to do fulfilling, hands-on work that engaged my brain. That's part of why I loved leaching massage for almost nine years at East West College of the Healing Arts. My clients love how I seem to find "the spots" and adjust my pressure accordingly--it’s not about no pain-no gain, or the deeper the better. I often have them do active movement or resistance during the session, which feels helpful and makes for a more effective release. Finding the right fit is so important; I'm not the right massage therapist for every person, and I'm happy to help with referrals.

Sheila always takes such great care in finding out where the problem is and helping to relieve pain and facilitate relaxation. She has helped me with some chronic issues that most people would have been taking strong pain medication for. She’s fantastic. I highly recommend her. She’s worth the long drive!

Sheila was very professional and courteous. She made sure i was comfortable and kept good communication about what she was and asked what I would prefer. My hip feels better too. I will be back for more treatment with her for sure.

I went in for some chronic nagging pain in my hamstring and some acute neck pain. There was a noticeable difference in my discomfort level relight after my massage was over! My hamstring did not tug like it usually did on a hike I went on that after noon, and the next day my neck pain was ably 90% better. Sheila is highly skilled! Defiantly recommend!

Sheila is the best of the best. Really puts effort into making me feel comfortable every time I go, and she's super skilled and knowledgeable about muscular structure and how to work out those tough areas that really need some digging into. Can't recommend her highly enough!

Sheila is a lifesaver. She really spends time getting to know the trouble spots that hurt or don’t feel right and works to fix them. She’s always professional but also very comfortable to be around and talk to.

Sheila has such a strong and versatile technique-I am always so relaxed and refreshed after a massage by her. She has a great balance of stretching and deep tissue and other techniques I don’t know the name of but that other massage therapists I’ve been to don’t practice. I love her abdominal massages-what a treat!

Sheila has been my preferred massage therapist for a few years now. She is a consummate professional while being warm and kind, and while she clearly makes it a priority to get to know each clients unique body and needs, I have yet to get the same massage twice. Her services are restorative, whether I have an injury that needs attention or just want to destress, connect with my body and quiet my mind for an hour. Thank you Sheila!

Sheila is thorough, precise in her intentions- in knowing the areas her client requests and paying attention while massaging. I enjoy conversation with Sheila when it occurs. Silence is great, too😊. I am so happy she has resumed her business. I, for one, am deeply appreciative of her knowledge and compassion. Thank you.

Sheila is curious about and has a deep understanding of the body, which she deftly applies to her practice. Because she listens to what I say and how my body responds I am able to trust her and relax.

She worked with me well on my specific pain points to unwind some pretty bad areas on my back, neck and shoulders. I would highly recommend to a friend.

I really like how Sheila keeps her clients engaged with the massage, to make sure she's hitting the right spots and you're getting the most out of the experience. There's plenty of time to relax, as well, but it feels very collaborative.
