Why Massage? We lack positive touch--positive touch with the Intention to help the body heal itself.

I have been in the health and fitness field for 30 yrs--exploring different aspects over the years. Massage became an integral part of my journey during the Fitness Management Technician pilot program at SFCC. Then I went on to EWU to degree in Exercise Science and Physical Education. As a Certified Personal Trainer and as a P.E. teacher leading adults and children through exercise, my attention was drawn to how tired, unmotivated and out-of-balance they were. Their muscles tight and contracted--their movement compromised. I realized people would benefit more from the positive touch of massage with the intention to heal.

So I chose to place my Attention on the Intention to help in healing, and I started my massage business--Mindful Intention.

In the IDEA Fitness Journal (Nov-Dec 2011, p. 75), the article, "Massage Eases Low-Back Pain", states "For chronic low-back pain, massage therapy seems to be more effective than medications, physical therapy, education and exercise." There are various other articles that can be found.

I offer restorative massage that includes a variety of techniques that involve deeper tissue work with a gentler touch. I have advanced training in neuromuscular therapy and structural-based deep tissue work. My focus is on neutralizing Trigger Points, Myofascial release, and Movement/Posture re-education. I place my Attention on the Intention to help Your body heal. Partnered with massage, as a Certified Personal Trainer, my services for private health/fitness counseling or training is available.

I look forward to hearing from you.
