     A native of Saint Paul, Minnesota, Bridget was attracted to foreign language learning as a way to expand her cultural horizons. While completing her Bachelor of Arts, she studied Spanish, Math, and numerous electives in Sports Science, earning honors as a collegiate athlete in soccer and track & field. During her final undergraduate years, she studied abroad in Segovia, Spain, where she met her husband, Elías, co-owner of Cirque Guides.
     Before becoming a licensed massage therapist, Bridget earned a Master's degree in the field of Education and spent over 15 years teaching, coordinating and leading international travel programs, translating, coaching, and working in the outdoor recreation and hospitality industries. She has engaged in extensive international travel in pursuit of mountaineering objectives, social service opportunities, and immersion experiences.
     After struggling to find adequate healthcare as a beat-up female athlete living in a rural mountain town, Bridget became interested in bodywork out of the necessity to address her own physical needs in sustainable, non-invasive, non-toxic ways. In addition to the Western-Eastern bicultural massage program she attended in Seattle, WA, she is also trained in the practice of YogAlign, Reiki, Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage, Visceral Manipulation, Neural Manipulation, and Craniosacral techniques.
 

     All work that Bridget performs is very fluid and intended to reduce any anxiety to the greatest degree possible. Your unique session may blend any number of healing modalities, including Swedish style massage, myofascial release, Thai massage, deep tissue work, reflexology... But no need to anguish over choosing the right technique; Bridget is eager to educate her clients about their bodies and treatment options, customizing each session to achieve optimal results.
 

     Bridget owns a private practice called ViaSana Massage & Bodywork Studio, located at 300 8th Avenue in Ouray, Colorado. Online booking is the preferred method for checking availability and reserving your session. You can also call Bridget's reservation request line at (970) 325-3255 or email info@viasanaouray.com. ¿Es usted hispanohablante? No se preocupe. ¡Ella es bilingüe!

REVIEWS for my Bodywork, Wellness, or Yoga services

by Andrea on Feb 01
Bridget knows her muscles and gave me an amazing deep tissue massage to alleviate my back and hip pain.
by Alayna on Jan 30
I would highly recommend getting a massage with Bridget! She is very friendly, kind and attentive to the spots you want worked. Best massage I’ve had!

Bridget was quick to respond to my inquiry and was helpful/flexible in finding a good time to schedule the treatment. She was warm and friendly but also professional throughout the session. I had a sore neck from skiing and she had a ton of techniques ready to work on it! The session was very helpful and I am grateful for her help! I'll be back and will be sending others to Bridget as well. Thank you Bridget!

Would you think the gift of calming the mind could be possible? I asked if there was a massage for calming the nervous system. Bridget's gentle kindness was 45 minutes of carefully orchestrated calm. Consider massage for more than tired muscles. You will do yourself of a world of good.
