Hello, my name is Maggie Abraham, and Wild Moon Massage Therapy, LLC is my independent massage practice. Before learning massage therapy, I worked for roughly six years in the nursing home/physical rehabilitation setting as a certified nursing assistant. For a year and a half of that time, I worked as a medication technician, as well. My jobs in the nursing field have taught me an endless amount about myself, serving others, and what "hard work" truly means. In the beginning, my goal had been to become a nurse, but once I transitioned into administering medications, I realized that I enjoyed the intimacy of assisting residents with activities of daily living and direct patient care significantly more. Overall , the experience has shown me that my real skill and ambition lies in helping others to feel better in a more personal and "hands-on" manner, which brought me to my career in massage and bodywork. I specialize most in addressing pain and previous injuries, deep tissue massage, low back/illiopsoas work, and cupping therapy. My primary objective with massage therapy is to achieve beneficial changes within the body that last long enough to have a positive impact on the client's quality of life on a daily basis. Due to my educational background and interest in biology, the science behind massage and bodywork guides the majority of my treatment choices. The anatomy, physiology, and feedback from the body influence the techniques I use, where I use them, and what steps to take next. My hands feel and "listen" for changes in the muscles and fascia, indicating how my work is effecting the body. I truly believe the massage and bodywork that I provide can't "heal" or "fix" the body, but can promote the body to heal and remodel itself. I manipulate the tissues with the intention of encouraging them to release, unwind, and, overtime, let go of patterns that inhibit proper function and cause pain.
Go on, be a good friend and share MassageBook with them. They'll love you for it.
