It's not about indulgence ... it's about real relief

Experience relief from aches and pains with therapeutic massage that is more than a relaxing indulgence. A corrective massage can be very effective in addressing headaches, carpal tunnel syndrome, frozen shoulder, tendonitis, and much more. 

Here is what makes my massage different from other therapists:

• I have a deep knowledge of Anatomy and Kinesiology.
• I have very good palpation skills (finding things by touch).
• I have high mechanical aptitude.
• I have artistic sensibilities.

This means that I can quickly identify problem areas based on description of activities. I can find just the right spot that is causing the discomfort and focus on releasing the knot without overworking the areas around it.  All that combined with graceful strokes that make it feel complete and nurturing, not abusive.

I use my mechanical reasoning to move limbs and joints into just the right position that allows me to access the knot. I can work very deeply in areas that other therapists can’t reach or even find. Most of the time I work with my eyes closed. I become so intimately in touch with the muscles that when I open my eyes I am surprised to see the skin over the muscles.

One thing that I really love about my job is being able to validate people’s pain. I can say “Yes. Your head hurts because you have a big knot here in your left shoulder.” Many people with chronic pain are made to think that there is no explanation for the pain and that it is all in their head. But when I work on them I can exactly touch the spot that hurts. I can feel it, measure it, describe it, predict a referral pattern, and trace the boundaries of it. I wouldn’t be able to do that if it were all in their head. You can imagine how relieved they are when another person can validate the pain and identify the source.

I invite you to explore this website and see for yourself why you should make your appointment and come experience the difference ...  

Mari is a true artist of bodywork. Her love, knowledge and passion for what she does absolutely shines through her work! I went to Mari needing help with some serious tightness and an overuse injury from my running and marathon training, and she has been instrumental in correcting problems, working out some serious tightness, preventing further injury, and allowing me to continue to train and make it to the starting line of my race. Without the focused, amazing work such as her's, I have no doubt that it would not even be possible. I could not be more pleased with the work she does, and am so very thankful for how she has helped me! Thank you, Mari!!

I can’t thank you enough for all of your tender loving care and treatment a few weeks ago. I really appreciated all the extra time you took to help me feel so much better again. You really went the extra mile for me as well as making extra time for me when I needed it the most. You are an exceptional massage therapist with great intuition and a talent for knowing what is needed most at the time. Your kind and generous nature as well as your knowledge of the human body and spirit have guided me back to Good Health again! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
