Hi, I am Andrea.

I am a registered massage therapist.

I am a diligent observer and listener, with strong ethics of honesty, compassion, and client autonomy; I strongly believe in practitioner transparency, and client-centered pathways to health.

As a specialist of human care, I see communication, safety, choice, and continual consent as the origin of a successful treatment or treatment plan.

Please connect for a free 15 minute consultation or to book a treatment.

CONDITION-SPECIFIC MASSAGE   
An application of massage techniques to treat common contributing factors of a specific condition. This can include, but is not limited to, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and hyperlordosis. 

NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATION
Evidence-based massage techniques can decrease the firing of the sympathetic nervous system. Calming an overactive SNS has several benefits for overall health including reducing stress, improving sleep, and maintaining a sense of wellbeing. 

CUPPING THERAPY
Cupping has a long lasting affect on deep tissues by releasing fascial restrictions and aiding in the movement of fluids, thus providing an increase in flexibility and range of motion of restricted muscles and joints.

PRE & POSTNATAL MASSAGE
Pregnancy massage is safe and effective when performed by a capable and registered practitioner. Massage techniques can reduce swelling, relieve lower back pain, improve sleep and prepare the body for birth.

TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE
A key aspect of trauma-informed care is creating an environment where trauma or re-traumatization is not experienced. Utilizing a trauma-informed approach does not necessarily require the disclosure of the trauma, but places special priority on the individual’s safety, choice, and control. 

   SOMATIC APPROACH TO THERAPY
Working against the notion that the body is a machine that can be 'tuned-up', this approach works to 'tune in' to your body's wise and 
complex intelligence. Somatic approaches meet the body's responses with respect and curiosity, not confusion or disdain.
