Because I live with TMJ-related issues, headaches and hip dysfunction, I am passionate about helping others get relief from those issues.  I was a caregiver for many years and as a result, I know the importance of massage and manual therapy for stress reduction, anxiety, grief support and recovery from repetitive motion injuries.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

Also called Lymphatic Massage. 65+ hours of training in the Vodder technique for Manual Lymphatic Drainage. This gentle manual therapy is notable for reducing inflammation and bruising following accidents, injuries or surgical procedures. It is very useful for chronic conditions such as migraines, fibromyalgia, and digestive issues. I have experience working with patients who have chronic swelling (lymphedema) following surgeries or from auto immune issues.

TMD / TMJ Dysfunction and Pain

Extensive experience in working with the head, jaw, and neck muscles to reduce grinding or popping (with or without pain) in the temporomandibular joint. I perform intraoral and external massage to reduce tension in all muscles that affect the jaw. This work is also useful after dental or orthodontic procedures.

Hip and SI Joint Dysfunction

Additional training and extensive experience working with the pelvic girdle, SI joint imbalance, hip and glute pain. Conditions treated include sciatica, piriformis syndrome, pain in the tailbone, glute pain from falls, postpartum pelvic girdle pain, etc.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

Carrie goes above and beyond to truly understand your medical journey. It’s incredibly refreshing to meet a provider who takes the time to thoroughly read your intake forms and is already familiar with your case before you even step into the room. As a breast cancer survivor, I felt genuinely heard, seen, and understood by Carrie—a rare and uplifting experience in healthcare. After just one visit, I saw a noticeable improvement: the swelling in my arm decreased, and she explained her techniques in a way that empowered me to continue managing inflammation and swelling at home after multiple surgeries. She also provided relief from a frozen shoulder that had been troubling me for over a month—something other medical providers hadn’t been able to help with. Carrie is truly an invaluable part of the healing process. I only wish more providers referred patients to her, because there are effective, compassionate options for better health—and Carrie is one of them.

Carrie understands anatomy and how to find the root cause of your pain. Not an instant fix but works toward better health and wellness.
