Meghan | Licensed Massage Therapist

EDUCATION

Healing Hands Massage Institute, Richardson TX (500 hr. program) and NW Academy for the Healing Arts Graduate, Seattle WA state transfer program (125 hr. program)

SUMMARY

My goal is to help clients feel less pain and stress by using techniques to self regulate their nervous system. Everyone is faced with daily life challenges that fatigue the nervous system and put your body in a sense of needing to defend itself. When the nervous system is stressed in this manner then we begin feeling symptoms of fatigue, physical pain, stress, and an overall sense of being overwhelmed. Massage should be a safe space for your physical, mental, and emotional being to let go of life challenges and reset in order to optimize happiness and health.

WHAT MAKES YOUR MASSAGES UNIQUE?

I believe that massage pressure and pace should meet the pace of your body's tissues in order to optimize release of tension and discomfort and create an overall sense of relaxation. I focus on maintaining a consistent rhythm and flow to the bodywork I give in order to guide you into a deeper sense of relaxation and decreased discomfort.

EXPERIENCED WITH

Relaxation for stress reduction and mental health conditions, Himalayan Salt Stone massage, AromaRitual, HerbalRitual, myofascial work and discomfort associated from stress, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, trauma including physical and emotional abuse, and headache relief

WHAT DO YOU MOST APPRECIATE WHEN RECEIVING MASSAGE?

I want a therapist to listen to the current needs of my physical and emotional self and deliver a massage that is effective without being painful because pain creates more stress in the body.

SUCCESS STORY

One client works in a hospital setting and most of their job requires physical transferring of patients. This client came to me with general pain due to the physical nature of the job but also discomfort from stress since they work in a high paced and stressful environment. Each session this client has expressed decreased pain, increased body movement, feeling that their body is more "open", and a generalized feeling of being relaxed and happy.

WHAT KEEPS YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT MASSAGE?

I love being able to bring relief and relaxation to my clients through therapeutic touch. Each person is unique and massage gives me the ability to work with clients to create less stress and pain while eliciting more joy in their life.
