Therapeutic Massage Therapy
I first started seeing Nadine in 2010 on the referral of a
friend who had issues with her back. I have spinal stenosis
which can be tricky and, as an endurance cyclist, I needed a
therapist I could trust not to aggravate the condition.
After just one session I was hooked. Nadine slowly and
carefully worked around, and in, the areas of tightness and
pain. Targeted and skillful, she treated my tight areas
without any random, unneeded pressure. She released my psoas
muscle, which many therapists are hesitant to do, and talked
to me about stretches and strategies. All these years later
I am still a regular and won’t let anyone else touch my
back. Nadine’s careful work, which now includes cupping, has
allowed me to avoid medication and continue to cycle at a
high level. Nadine does not have a one method fits all
practice. Unlike many I have tried that start at the top and
work their way down in a scripted, methodical process,
Nadine takes the time to individualize her therapy and solve
problems.

Nadine is the best! I’ve gone
to her for years with all of my aches and pains. She’s a wonderful
massage therapist who brings a healing combination of skill,
presence, and caring to her work. And she somehow knows where
all of the sore spots are!

I have been practicing massage since 2002. I combine tools
from various massage studies as well as other healing
modalities to create a therapeutic plan with clients. My
studies focus on neuromuscular therapy, myofascial therapy,
manual lymphatic drainage, energy balancing through studies
in Reiki, Prana Yoga and dance therapy, pre-natal, and
cupping/moxa/guasha. I am also a certified TRE® Provider
(you can read more about this under the Classes tab) and
Manual Lymphatic Drainage certified. I aim to see the person
as a whole, where there is neck pain I address the direct
area, surrounding tissues, posture, emotional stresses,
diet, breath, and work on strengthening and stretching to
regain balance. Client feedback includes sensing safe space,
feeling relaxed, and that they have learned something. I
encourage combining yoga therapy into their sessions when
appropriate.
