Hi! And thank you for visiting. Here’s a bit more about how we can work together.
I recommend Therapeutic Massage for stress relief, general aches and pains, improved athletic performance, post-op recovery along side PT, and healthy aging. Regular massage is an essential self-care routine. The benefits of massage are cumulative, just like a workout routine or a healthy diet, consistency is where the magic happens. Regular sessions do more than just relieve today's stress—they help retrain your muscles, improve your circulation, and give your nervous system a predictable, safe space to completely reset before chronic tension can build up.
In addition, I also offer therapeutic touch for individuals with a cancer diagnosis. I am educated and experienced in the various diagnoses, treatments, and long and short-term side effects. My advanced training in Oncology Massage and hands-on experience allows me to safely treat individuals during medical treatments. If you have had surgery, radiation, and/or node removal - a trained oncology massage therapist is highly recommended to avoid developing lymphedema long after treatment has ended.
Lymphatic Drainage allows me to help clients managing any form of swelling or edema, such as lymphedema, lipedema, CVI, or post-operative swelling. Lymphatic drainage is also wonderful as a immune system boost for those without serious pathology. I have the same 150 hour training as PT’s working in the hospital setting.
ScarWork Therapy is a gentle and effective technique used to soften scars and scar tissue and to reintegrate the damaged tissue into the fascial network creating greater tissue suppleness. This relieves the feeling tightness around the surgical site and increases range of motion. I work with clients recovering from joint replacement, lumpectomy, mastectomy, breast recon (implants, DIEP-flap), facelift, liposuction, tummy tuck, and new moms with C-Section. To learn more, please read my blog.
Craniosacral Therapy, a soft touch therapy that facilitates the body's natural and innate healing processes, is beneficial for people seeking help with a wide range of healthcare challenges. To learn more, please read my blog.
I believe massage is not simply a luxury - it is essential to the continued wellbeing of our body, mind and spirit.

"Megan was an excellent listener, made me very comfortable and was able to accommodate the limitations I have due to cancer and cancer treatments. The massage was very calming, thorough, and a light touch. She explained that initially, a light touch was the best approach when helping a body recover from cancer therapies. My balance improved dramatically! I also slept very well, which I had not been doing for over 1 month. Highly recommended."

"Megan is very experienced as she can feel how a muscle "reacts" and based on that increases or decreases the pressure. I visited her as I was having back problems and plan to return as I feel a lot better. Finally, she takes her time, no rushing and listened to where I needed help, many others just have a routine."
