Hello, I’m Lisa.
It’s good to meet you!
I provide treatment-focused massage therapy, which some prefer to describe as “medical massage.” For nearly five years, I worked as an employee in a massage clinic where we specialized in whiplash treatment and injury recovery. I genuinely enjoy the puzzle that comes with your desire to manage pain and increase function, to help you feel your best through massage.
I graduated from Discoverypoint School of Massage in August 2018, after spending nearly a decade working in IT, and a lifetime drawn to complementary and alternative medicine. I utilize a mix of modalities, aiming for that “perfect pressure” which is found using a combination of my own intuitive felt-sense and checking in verbally with you, the client. My style is neither “deep” nor is it “full body Swedish,” but something a little different. My work is anatomically informed and I listen deeply.
Massage should never hurt. Pain does not heal pain.
I aim to meet my clients where they are, to be a facilitator in their healing journey. I enjoy working collaboratively with you to support your unique journey to wellness, by helping you to deepen you presence of mind and awareness of body through massage. Sessions often include client education, empowerment, and encouragement to listen to your body’s inner knowing.
I strive to hold space for each unique session and to listen with presence.
I look forward to working with you.
