Allow me to help you to the best you

I got my first exposure to massage as an athlete in high school- my massage therapist helped me manage my injury and chronic pain and go on to complete the remainder of the sport season. 

I continued to build interest in massage therapy while completing my undergraduate degree at Baylor University. I had the opportunity to work with elite athletes in multiple sports who understood the impact recovery and maintenance had on their training and future success.  After spending time as a movement specialist and fitness coach, I realized that recovery and maintenance is important for everyone- not just athletes. 

No matter what stage/phase of life you're in, taking care of yourself should be a constant priority. You really don't have time to not be at your best, do you?
Whether you are a weekend warrior with a desire to stay in the best shape possible, or a working mother that manages 3 other schedules aside from her own, everyone needs and deserves time to make sure they are prepared to conquer life's next great adventure.

I got my license in massage therapy from the Alternative Body Care School of Massage in Waco, Tx after spending time as a movement specialist and developing a passion for promoting self-care. We have to take some time to prioritize ourselves in this hectic world.  Neglecting ourselves only leads to burn out; it can slow down your progress and take years off of your life(- and what is the point of all your hard work without any reward?)

We expect so much of our bodies on a daily basis and in order to maintain that high level of functioning, you have to take care of the vessel that's making it all happen. You owe it to yourself to take care of your body 

Through massage therapy I am able to help you with recovery, pain management, mental angst, and maintaining an enjoyable quality of life. 

You are made of awesome. 
You put your body and mind through the ringer every day to accomplish all of the goals you've set for yourself. In order to maintain that high level of functioning from your body, you have to take care of the vessel making it all possible. In order to be there for everyone else in your life, you have to be there for yourself first. You deserve it!

REVIEWS for my Bodywork, Fitness, or Wellness services

by Hunter on Jun 18
I injured my lower back swinging a golf club, and the pain was so severe that I went to the emergency room for care. Thankfully, the doctor identified the source of the pain and suggested consulting a licensed massage therapist who was also skilled in cupping. Darrian was the perfect fit! She listened to my concerns and worked on the correct spot with care and accuracy. Before my appointment, I could not bend over or walk around my house without using the assistance of a walker. This morning, I was able to get out of bed without having to pause and catch my breath from the sharp pain. The reduction of pain in less than 24 hours is nothing short of a miracle. I have another appointment scheduled for tomorrow, and I can't wait to see how much more healing will happen! Thank you, Darrian! You are quite literally changing lives with your professionalism, skill, and compassion.

Darrian was very professional. She listened to what I had to say and provided what I ask for. I have been in pain for months. She was recommended to me and I’m so glad I made the appointment. I will definitely be going back.

Sports massage like I've never experienced before. She operated the muscle and found all the right spots to focus on. She's loves what she does and it shows.
