Embracing the Art of Healing: My Passion for Specialized Massage Therapy for Chronic Pain and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)
As a dedicated massage therapist, I have always been driven by a profound passion for healing and a commitment to delivering a specialized, client-focused experience. My journey into the world of massage therapy is not just a career choice; it is a calling shaped by a deep understanding of chronic pain as I myself struggle with daily chronic pain. Additionally my life is overflowing with wonderful individuals who have similar struggles.
There is a fascinating connection between being Neurodivergent, Queer and Hypermobile. I am not a researcher or medical doctor but I’ve spent hundreds of hours researching the connection between these things and my unfortunate conclusion is that medical doctors can see a connection but don’t know how to provide intersectional, trauma informed care. This leaves a vulnerable population with insufficient care which results in unmanaged pain, a reduction in functionality and a general hopelessness that there are real and effective ways to improve their quality of life. I am passionate about helping to bridge that gap and provide much needed relief for individuals who are looking for more support outside of the traditional medical system.
Chronic pain not only impacts physical health but also takes a toll on emotional and mental well-being. My approach is rooted in recognizing the multidimensional nature of chronic pain and tailoring treatments to address both the physical and emotional aspects.
From your very first appointment I will work to earn your trust as a body work professional by first doing a thorough evaluation which includes a postural and range of motion assessment, and a detailed interview to ensure you are receiving the exact care that you need. We will work together as a team to set and reach goals to maximize your investment in your health and wellbeing. My clients are not just recipients of a service; they are active participants in their healing journey. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel empowered to share their experiences and collaborate on their treatment goals. By fostering this partnership, I aim to enhance their overall well-being and empower them to take an active role in managing their chronic pain or EDS
To provide the best possible care, I continually seek to expand my knowledge and refine my skills. My specialization in chronic pain and EDS is supported by advanced training and ongoing education. Techniques such as myofascial release, deep tissue massage, and neuromuscular therapy are integral to my practice. I will ensure we are working within your comfort and pain level, by checking in frequently and using specialized techniques I developed myself that protect painful or delicate muscle or connective tissue Additionally, I stay informed about the latest research and developments in both pain management and EDS, ensuring that my approach remains current and evidence-based.
In conclusion, my dedication to offering a specialized, client-focused massage therapy experience for those dealing with chronic pain and EDS is at the heart of my practice. It is a journey of understanding, skill, and empathy, aimed at bringing relief and enhancing the quality of life for those I have the privilege of working with. If you or someone you know is navigating the challenges of chronic pain or EDS, I invite you to experience the difference that a personalized, knowledgeable approach can make. Together, we can embark on a path toward healing and well-being.
