Dr. Maggie W

Now offering Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage: great for athletes and individuals who like really deep massage work. Regular massage allows individuals to be more aware of their bodies. As a lifelong educator of both children and adults, I approach being a Massage Therapist as an opportunity to teach my clients to be in more control of caring for their bodies. Informing clients about the musculoskeletal as well as other systems of the body, I'm providing tools such as stretches, exercises, and yoga postures and breathing techniques to do on their own between massage sessions. Aside from the most well known affects of massage therapy, relaxation and stress reduction, it has innumerable benefits for the recipient. Massage promotes circulation, and facilitates recovery from strenuous or repetitive activities. Massage can also help to heal scar tissue and alleviate headache pain as well as pain from chronic conditions such as scoliosis and plantar fasciitis. Women who are pregnant also find great relief from regular massage throughout their pregnancy and after giving birth. I tailor each massage in order to address this wide scope of needs and help meet the goals of the individual client. Using a combination of Swedish and myofascial massage, trigger point work, and stretching, we will work with you to allow the soft tissue, muscle, tendons and ligaments to let go of unhealthy and often lifelong holding patterns.
