Amy does massage therapy, corrective and structural bodywork as well as energy healing.  This goes beyond the medical or sports massage.  Her techniques have roots in osteopathic principles.  This transcends cheap massage which is everywhere.  She uses a blend of therapies and the governing principles of anatomy and tensegrity to resolve the core issue to your current symptoms be it from an old sport injury, repetitive strain, habituated posture, a car accident or tailbone fall.  She discovered that so much is stored in the body that she naturally fell into energy healing because as humans, we store stuck emotions and traumas, as well as passed down generational challenges from ancestry.  

 

She does work with organs, directly, fascially, and energetically--physical, emotional, energetic--all covered-- to correct symptoms in other areas of the body (e.g., a dysfunctional liver (right side of body) can cause shin splints in runners on the left leg)....What?  I know! …..Bodywork is investigative and really “cool”.  This also helps the function of organs and clears negative emotions in those organ meridian systems.  She holds space for densities to shift away from you, which naturally upgrades your vibration. 

She has studied Advanced Bodywork at the Ankrum Institute, as well as other studies on the west coast in Biodynamic Craniosacral and Visceral Manipulation. Her early career began with traditional and sports massage as well as myofascial release, neuromuscular, lymphatic drainage, and trigger point therapy.  During the last 10 years, Amy’s work has progressed to advanced soft -tissue manipulation techniques that help a variety of conditions such as low back pain, neck pain, TMJ, plantar fasciitis, migraines and chronic pain. 

 

Her background is one of pre-med, which involved much chemistry, physics, anatomy, physiology, and biology, as well as writing and dance performance. During the dancing years, she needed to recover and get back on stage, so she learned about the body through her own recovery methods and yoga studies, which she now incorporates into her therapy.  Her absolute joy is seeing the surprised look on clients’ faces as they feel good in their own bodies once again. 

Amy works on anyone ready to shift out of pain: men, women, non-binary, pregnant women, babies and children.

Career Life

I volunteered with Tulsa Ballet members in 1997-1998 learning how to apply massage therapy to their dancer bodies and not to over-release the muscular tension and external rotation they had conditioned in their bodies. I volunteered with Oklahaven in Oklahoma City 2002 a non-profit children's chiropractic clinic where I worked on many children with cerebral palsy. I massaged their hyper-tense bodies, especially abdominal area as many suffered from constipation. If only I had already learned the Cranial and visceral work I do now! In my opinion, some of the best bodywork comes from Europe and Canada and that is why I choose to study and continue in that style of osteopathy. I almost went on after college to become a DO in this country, but I paused and reflected after so much schooling had burnt me out. Through an interesting winding path, I found my way to do effective techniques rooted in osteopathic principles as a bodyworker. My work has really evolved over the years, and I hope I never stop learning and integrating. I work on adults, children and babies.

Amy has gained extra knowledge about the body's makeup and the interconnectedness of our muscles, fascial planes and our nervous system. She is able to apply this knowledge to help her clients.

Is helping me with my problem
by Tammy on Jan 22
Disappointed. I thought I was getting a focal treatment to work in an issue and barely had it addressed. Was no better leaving than when I arrived. The comment it didn’t happen in a day and won’t be fixed in a day was not taken well since I felt like my issue was not even attempted to be fixed and yet I get offered a monthly plan at the end. I felt like I was just getting swept in for recurring visits instead of focusing on the current one. Waste of my money.

I highly recommend Amy. She rocks and you can too! I am a musician, guitarist, and came to Amy 6 days before a 2 night run.. in serious pain with an immobile left arm. After 2 sessions I regained mobility and my pain was gone!
