Lisa | Licensed Massage Therapist

EDUCATION

East West College of The Healing Arts. Graduated 2021

SUMMARY

I became a LMT because I suffer from chronic pain. I wanted to help others that may be going through similar struggles because I understand how hard it may be mentally & physically. I love to make everyone's massage custom to them, what they are going through and want to focus on - even if it is just relaxation. If someone is having chronic pain issues, I can relate on a deeper level, connect with them and provide them some help with the knowledge I gained working for a Chiropractor, having pain myself & everything I learned in massage school!

SUCCESS STORIES

At my first job, I saw a client from the time I started to the time I left. After the first session, she said that she really doesn't want to see anyone else and that I really helped to relieve her hip pain she's been having for years. Her doctor wanted her to get a hip replacement, but she didn't go through it since my massage had helped her so much!

WHAT MAKES YOUR MASSAGES UNIQUE?

I tailor each massage to what is going on with my clients and their bodies. When I feel a knot/restriction, I let them know and most of the time, they are not even aware of. I also recommend stretches for after care. I love to work with headaches and will spend a lot of time on the upper body, neck and use various techniques & movements.

WHAT DO YOU MOST APPRECIATE WHEN RECEIVING MASSAGE?

I appreciate being listened to and what what is bothering me and for the Therapist to focus on those areas. I rarely want a full body massage and usually prefer upper body and neck. Checking in with me regarding pressure is important too.

WHAT KEEPS YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT MASSAGE?

Learning new approaches, the opportunity for growth, expanding my skills. I love being inspired by my clients and witnessing the positive results.
