“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” -- Confucius

My first experience receiving bodywork came in the form of Rolfing, as a means by which I was able to feel relief from chronic pain after years of sitting at a desk, phone to ear and fingers on keyboard.  My interest in bodywork was piqued, and led to my dedication to becoming a certified massage therapist so I could help others find relief, as I had, through bodywork.  It is a decision I have never regretted.  Pain is a teacher in so many aspects, often leading us to that next chapter in our...

My first experience receiving bodywork came in the form of Rolfing, as a means by which I was able to feel relief from chronic pain after years of sitting at a desk, phone to ear and fingers on keyboard.  My interest in bodywork was piqued, and led to my dedication to becoming a certified massage therapist so I could help others find relief, as I had, through bodywork.  It is a decision I have never regretted.  Pain is a teacher in so many aspects, often leading us to that next chapter in our journey.
.
I received my certification as a massage therapist in 1990 from the Colorado School of Healing Arts.  As part of my deep commitment to providing effective massage/bodywork, I take courses on a continuing basis to expand my knowledge and skills.
.
Having had experience with pain and exploring avenues to find relief, it is no surprise many of my clients present themselves looking for the same.  I specialize in the release of chronic pain using modalities such as FasciaBlasting(r), myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, lymph drainage massage, visceral manipulation, Total Body Balance, and therapeutic integrative massage. 
.
Touch is an amazing experience and in our often virtual worlds, many do not receive enough.  I provide nurturing touch in a safe environment.  I take my work seriously and strive to provide you with an experience that will benefit you in a whole person way.
.
I am an advanced practitioner and have my own practice, Aquatic Fire Healing Arts, located in Thornton, Colorado in my home massage studio. 
.
If you wanted to know more about me as a person, I would say, I love to explore new places; find deep satisfaction in painting with alcohol inks; enjoy learning how to play the hangdrum; and enjoy cooking with whatever ingredients happen to be in my kitchen at the time!  I enjoy a wonderfully supportive family who encourage me to share my skills and talent, and friends who further enrich my life.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

by Stacey on Jun 20
Andrea's Watsu was amazing. She melted the tense muscles in my shoulders that had held out through a dozen previous massages. Highly effective with no pain required! Extremely relaxing, dreamy experience
by Kimberly on May 28
Andrea did a lymphatic flush on my body after observing areas of chronic inflammation. It took 90 minutes of head to toe gentle movements which were very relaxing. Right away I had much more ease of movement than I'd had in 7 months!! She explained everything she did and gave me some ideas to continue the work on my own! Highly Highly recommend!!

Andrea is phenomenal! I always feel so much better after the treatment.

Andrea is not just the best massage therapist in all of Denver but is skillful in such a wide array of modalities that far exceed most. Her astute ability to assess the source of one’s trauma, pain or stress and determine the best technique & course of bodywork to fully improve her client’s quality of life is first & foremost her passion in life. She is a gifted healer whose skillful touch helped me cope throughout months of emotional trauma & stress, both physically & emotionally, to where I am now able to navigate life in a much more peaceful, calm, relaxed & physically restored state of mind. Her devotion to her client’s overall health & wellbeing is unsurpassed and has taught me how important self care is to navigating in this stressful, chaotic world. Thank you for making my world so much better, Andrea🙏

Fantastic experience. After one session, my pain is dramatically improved, and I feel almost back to normal! I can’t wait for my next session!

Up to date techniques; Excellent physical skills; Nice setting. Too bad Andrea will stop coming to Lakewood end of June.
