Our team of massage therapists have been studying and practicing their areas of expertise for years. As a massage therapist hones their skill, they find a style of working that is both sustainable for their body and deeply effective at delivering therapeutic benefits.
Amy has a tempo like a waltz and powerful hands. Her technical expertise is in trigger point therapy and Russian, which is great for clients who prefer firm pressure. She also applies her knowledge and training as a doula in addition to her own research to inform her therapeutic approach.
Lena has a very gliding, spa like style. With her years of experience attending births and her current studies as a midwife, she knows how important it is to calm the nervous system and support the body’s inherent intelligence in the experience of pregnancy and labor. She lulls the nervous system releases tissue restrictions with her mastery of what massage therapists call “flow”. It’s the quality of a massage that gives a sense of smooth connection between every motion and transition.
Lindsay’s massage style calls to mind gentle lapping waves. Lindsay’s background as a doula and yoga therapist inform her balanced approach to treating the entire being before her. She will pay attention to the physical needs of a client’s current state of discomfort, and she also holds space for emotional or mental needs a person can have during this journey too.
Rose has been providing massage therapy for 5 years, and has niched to focus on pre and post natal massage therapy in the last two years. Her focus has been on repairing patterns of chronic dysregulation in the nervous system through movement, vocalizing, and therapeutic touch. Her technical mastery is in lymphatic drainage and myofascial release. Her style is a light to medium pressure designed to deeply relax the nervous system and let the body lead the release of restrictions layer by layer.
All four massage therapists have a foundational understanding in the most common tissue patterns and physiological processes that occur throughout the pregnancy and postpartum phases, safe technical strokes to apply, and contraindications that require adjustments. This team regularly consults and trades with each other to continuously improve their ability to provide a therapeutic massage, balancing between what is typical and what is unique to the needs and preferences of each client.
