Testimonials

"My massage therapist was very friendly, informative, and did a great job at the massage. The salon is very clean and relaxing. I enjoyed the experience" - E.W.

Deryl is a compassionate and highly skilled massage therapist with a deep understanding of the complex relationship between chronic pain and overall well-being. With an academic background in Human Behavior and Organizational Psychology, and years of hands-on experience in inpatient psychiatry, Deryl brings a uniquely holistic and empathetic perspective to her massage practice.

Her own journey with therapeutic massage began as a client, using bodywork to manage debilitating back pain caused by severely herniated discs. This personal experience fueled her passion for helping others discover the powerful, lasting relief that consistent massage therapy can offer. Deryl's commitment to the craft led her to share her knowledge as an instructor at the Institute for Therapeutic Massage, where she trained future therapists in both the art and science of bodywork.

Deryl specializes in medical massage, combining advanced techniques such as deep tissue therapy, neuromuscular therapy, and myofascial release to address deep-seated tension, chronic pain, and injury recovery. Her sessions are highly focused, intentional, and tailored to each client's needs—especially those experiencing conditions like:

• Chronic back pain and sciatica

• Migraine headaches associated with neck tension

• Pain-related reduced mobility

• Injury rehabilitation

• Age-related aches and stiffness

While her work is deeply therapeutic, Deryl believes effective treatment should never come at the cost of comfort. She seamlessly integrates Swedish massage techniques into her sessions to create a balanced experience that is both restorative and relaxing. Her favorite areas to focus on include the neck, shoulders, and back—where many clients hold chronic stress and tension.

Clients working with Deryl can expect a grounded, empathetic, and results-driven approach to bodywork, with an emphasis on communication, trust, and long-term relief.

Deryl's additional training includes Cupping Therapy, AromaRitual, and CBD HerbalRitual, further enhancing her ability to tailor each session to support healing, stress reduction, and overall wellness.
