Education empowers.

My name is Courtney and I have been learning and practicing Massage Therapy since 2014. I have my associates in Arts and Science, and during my failed pursuit of a degree in exercise science, I discovered a deep love for preventative maintenance, the body, and healthcare as a whole.

My name is Courtney and I have been learning and practicing Massage Therapy since 2014. I have my associates in Arts and Science, and during my failed pursuit of a degree in exercise science, I discovered a deep love for preventative maintenance, the body, and healthcare as a whole. I'm now back on the path of finishing my BA in exercise science in efforts to elevate my practice of massage, and extend my reach and knowledge to help clients off the massage table. Additionally, I am also a licensed pharmacy technician, and understand the importance of medication and its intersection with massage therapy. 

My primary modalities in Massage are Swedish / Relaxation Massage, Sports Massage, Therapeutic Massage, and Table Thai Massage. I love studying psychology and philosophy as I feel our mind, and how we interpret reality affects our physical body. I believe that knowledge and education can help us navigate health and wellness in a more informed way to make better decisions for our bodies, minds, and quality of life.

I love the art and science of the physical body, and hope that my massages can bring you pain relief and help you build awareness. I will always refer you out if I believe your issue is out of my hands, as your wellbeing, safety, and appropriate healthcare is my number one priority. 

I look forward to working with you and I hope to be of any assistance on your journey through life.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

by Bethany (bee) on Mar 06
Courtney is a fantastic massage therapist. She is attentive to your whole bodymind, focuses on your overall well-being and healing, and always has suggestions for continued self aftercare. She's also one of the best drapers I know and I have never once felt uncomfortable on her table (a rare thing, honestly). As a survivor of violence/trauma it's also nice to have someone consistently ask if there are any areas off limits for the session. I cannot recommend Courtney highly enough - I suggest her to all my fellow queer and trans and survivor friends!

Attention to detail. Taking time to listen to my needs. Super nice & welcoming.

Courtney is very client-focused and professional. Her massage skills are in tune with what is needed by the body, by using her pre-treatment interview and her sense of touch. The massage room is therapeutic, and she always checks-in to make sure the smell and temperature are suitable.

Courtney is awesome. She is warm and friendly yet very professional. I love the way she constantly enhances our sessions with new techniques and ambiance. I'm grateful to have found her. She has improved my life both physically and spiritually.

Courtney is thorough and seeks out what is needed for the specific session and then focuses on exactly what is needed. Her knowledge and professionalism shines through.

I thoroughly enjoyed my massage. I felt that Courtney was very professional and went over lots of pertinent information with regards to massages in general. Will definitely return at some point.
