Mission and Purpose
Pain affects all of our lives; the quality of life, and our ability to work effectively. Stress is usually the leading cause of pain. In many people, pain medications can have unpleasant side effects. Considering the number of people reporting pain and its effects on quality of life, the public has become interested in examining other methods of pain relief. Research indicates that massage can reduce pain immediately, and for the long term. Massage can reduce the incidence and frequency associated with headache and migraine pain. Massage relieves postoperative pain, reduces back and leg pain in pregnant women, relieves discomfort of fibromyalgia, and improves the quality of life for cancer patients. In short, if you are searching for a holistic therapy that can replace pharmaceuticals, then massage may be your solution.
About the owner, Colleen Gordon, LMT
Colleen has been fascinated with alternative healing techniques for both people and pets since her childhood. With a background of 20+ years of energetic bodywork as a reiki master, becoming a massage therapist was another way she could facilitate effective, holistic healing with her clients.
Her greatest joy is healing the relationship we have with ourselves; mind, body, spirit. Her mission is to be a bridge of communication between people and their bodies to achieve the best performance in life itself.
Experienced with healing trauma, injury and pain management, working with professional athletes, weekend warriors, corporate workaholics, repetitive strain occupations, and desk jockeys, gives me a unique perspective. I strive to continuously improve associations with physicians, chiropractors, acupuncturists, psychologists, and physical therapists.
