Welcome!

I knew I had a knack for bodywork when I was 5 years old and started walking on my father’s back. He had chronic pain from truck driving, and getting him out of pain was a powerful experience, one that would eventually turn into years of study of human anatomy, kinesiology, several massage modalities and the relatively new and exciting world of fascia structure and behavior.

35 years ago I started working exclusively as a massage therapist. I’ve studied several modalities over the years and our fascia system is where I’ve been primarily focused. Releasing and treating stuck, stagnant and damaged fascia is my specialty. I can affect change at superficial and deep muscular levels without causing the body to guard, bruise or cause inappropriate “ no pain no gain” effects. You can get a deep tissue massage without being brutal! And you can manage chronic pain by being continuously heard, telling your story and being given a clear approach to the best treatment for your needs. It’s your massage, and you can feel safe and comfortable with communicating what you are feeling at any time while you are in my care.

Through the years I’ve adopted several amazing tools when properly indicated, including hot stones, gua sha, cupping, dry brushing, hot towels, infrared and my handmade balms, lotions, essential oil blends and flaxseed packs. These are all options that can be incorporated into your session if needed.

Your first visit includes an in depth complimentary intake form and interview. Please allow an extra hour for your initial visit.

Thank you for your interest and please message me with any additional questions or concerns. I look forward to meeting you

Jill
