I have a special place in my heart for seniors, advanced agers, elders, old folks... whatever we want to call ourselves when we reach those yonder years... so part of my business is catering to the seniors in my community. Massage is a wonderful part of any self-care program, but especially for seniors. We are living stronger and longer through better diet and exercise, but advancing years can lead to sedentary, isolated, and stressful lives, with too much time to think about our pains, worry over doctor visits, and stress over things that are beyond our control. Self-care is empowering, and massage can play an important role in improving our quality of life. I am a licensed massage and bodywork therapist. I am passionate about recuperative massage. I graduated from Wake Technical Community College Therapeutic Massage in 2014 and started my own private massage therapy practice, Goodness Me in 2014. While building my private practice, I am also working at Tanas Hair Designs & Day Spa at Falls River Shopping Center in North Raleigh. I have a dedicated massage therapy room in my home just inside my front door, or I can bring your massage experience to you if you have space for me to set up my portable equipment. I offer chair massage for events and for workplace settings. I also have equipment for wheel chair and pregnancy chair massage. I enjoy spending time with friends and family. I live with my husband, Tim, my mother, Buttonz, and our sweet black lab mix, Gigi. We enjoy our delightful children and three precious grandchildren (who have stolen my heart), and a large extended family. I enjoy massaging, gardening, cooking, journaling, reading, various creative arts, spiritual development, and, whenever the opportunity arises, Tim and I enjoy traveling abroad, riding motorcycles, camping, skiing, scuba diving, and supporting social justice efforts. I want to help you experience the healing influence of massage to address tension and pain. Feel your body responding, letting go to release physical tensions and stress. Your mind also relaxes, clears, and reconnects to the body, releasing mental tensions and stress. Your spirit is refreshed and recharged. Make massage a part of your regular wellness plan.
