Massage Therapy

I fell in love with the amazing resiliency of the human body during an anatomy and physiology course in High School.  I later went on to college at the University of Anchorage Alaska and Oregon State University for undergraduate studies that were leading to a degree as a physical therapist.  When life gifted me with some curve balls I found myself  landing back home in Alaska, still wanting to pursue a career working with the human body.  So I applied for and I graduated from UAA's massage therapy program in 2000 and went on to work in chiropractors and doctor's offices as well as high-end luxury resort spas, retreat centers, festivals and sporting events. 

 I taught massage for almost 10 years at HACC (Harrisburg Area Community College) including running the student's hands-on studio, teaching 'the ethics of touch', 'spa & aromatherapy', 'hot stone', 'business', 'chair massage', 'pharmacology for massage', 'special populations: pregnancy, obesity, geriatric and people with disabilities' as well as teaching CEU's for current LMT's in ethics. 

Some of the many different courses I have taken as continuing education over my several decades as an LMT include: 'intro to lymphodema massage', 'oncology', 'cupping', 'hot stone', 'aromatherapy certification for massage therapists', 'pregnancy and infant massage', 'working with clients with disabilities', 'working with trauma survivors', 'Ayurvedic massage techniques', 'myofascial/ connective tissue release'... the list goes on. 

YOU! 

Although we have worked in chiropractor's and doctor's offices as well as high-end luxury resort spas, retreat centers, festivals and sporting events and for almost 10 years Tracy taught massage at HACC, that doesn't really tell you exactly who we work with....

We have worked with teenagers struggling to manage their bipolar disorder. 

We have worked with athletes training and recovering from competitions and injuries.

We have worked with clients with severe cognitive and physical disabilities who are often non-verbal and come to their appointments with a  caregiver from their group home.  

We have worked with survivors of abuse, trauma and addiction.

We have worked with overstressed parents, corporate leaders, business owners, factory workers, laborers, men, women, children, infants and the elderly just to name a few.

We have worked on the healthcare teams of those going through cancer treatments and recovery.

We have worked with so many clients from so many different populations that we feel confident we can work with you too.  And if what you need is outside of our scope of practice, we will work to refer you to or help you locate the right professional for your needs.
