What's your onboarding process like?

Upon arrival, a new client will be asked to fill out a short intake form. We will discuss the needs of the client and decide the best approach. Communication is important during the first session to ensure the client’s comfort and adjust the techniques as we learn what works best for them. After the session we may discuss future treatment plans if necessary. The client will have the option of rebooking before departure.

How did you come to be a massage therapist?

Throughout my childhood, I would help my grandmother with her headaches and I’d massage a friend’s hand if it cramped while taking notes in class. Massage has always been a part of my life as my intuitive reaction to the pain and discomfort of those around me. I went straight into training after high school. I truly never considered any other career.

How do you customize each experience?

30 minutes is scheduled between sessions to ensure my client gets my full attention from the time they enter the office until they leave. Customizing the experience by allowing the client to pick their own music, listen to a podcast, or opt for a silent session where we have ambient noise and refrain from any conversation.

Clients can either choose to have aromatherapy included in their session, mix and match scents, or bring their own oil, cream, or lotion.

Endless Options

Each massage with our team is tailored to your unique needs, utilizing a variety of modalities to create a personalized experience. During your session, we’ll evaluate your current needs and discuss the best options to meet your goals.

For returning clients, we’ll review any changes since your last visit and adjust your treatment plan accordingly. Whether you prefer to focus solely on problem areas or take a more comprehensive approach, we’re here to ensure your massage aligns with your preferences and priorities.

The Karmic Connection of Mind & Body

Our body stores and remembers all the moments of our lives. These moments manifest as tension, knots, aches, and discomfort. When I’m working with a client, I’m not only thinking of relaxing the muscle but easing the karmic weight on the body, mind, and spirit.

I met Erika when I was in extreme pain from pinched nerves in my right shoulder and elbow. I had been to the chiropractor and there was some improvement, but still lots of pain. Erika expertly worked the issues and I was much improved after the first visit. She had me straightened out in a couple more visits. It was a miraculous difference in a short time. Erika is kind, empathetic and knowledgeable in her field and I look forward to seeing her friendly face twice a month.

Erika has an intuitive and healing touch! I have been a client for 4+ years now. I originally started with her for help with my chronic migraines. With her help, I have them MUCH LESS FREQUENTLY.

Erika was able to address all my problem areas! She is amazing!

Been going to Erika for years! She is so good at working on my pain points and struggles - from deep tissue, stress/tension, even sinuses. Her monthly massages keep me going. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented masseuse!

I've been going to Erika for over a year and am amazed at how many of my physical problems she has completely solved, including mobility-limiting lower back and hip pain and my hands falling asleep at night. Not only were these problems alleviated but they have not come back at all. She is incredibly skillful and brings a ton of empathy and experience to her work as a massage therapist. She is very easy to communicate with and listens to her clients. I especially recommend her to anyone with neck, chest, and rib tension or to anyone looking for some healing and rejuvenating massage therapy.

Erika is a wonderful massage therapist and a great person! She listened to me when I explained my problem areas and addressed them throughout the session. I left feeling relaxed and like I could move easier than when I went in.

Erika is amazing! I have neck and shoulder issues and she has helped me tremendously. She's very knowledgeable about exactly what I need. I recommend her to anyone I know!

Erika is THE BEST. She is on time, reliable, and an excellent massage therapist! She is knowledgeable and helps correct chronic or acute issues. Highly recommend!

We consider the entire body when approaching the treatment process.

Connecting Body, Mind & Spirit

Temporary relief is easy to achieve but healing that is long lasting and an improvement to the overall quality of life requires attention and care to all aspects of self.
