About

Hello and welcome!

I am a licensed massage therapist in Grand Junction, CO specializing in nervous system rebalancing approaches including Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) massage, CranioSacral Therapy, and Reiki / Energy Work.

Currently, I am not accepting new clients, but if you would like to join my waitlist, please submit a request for appointment.

I carry certifications through the Klose Institute to facilitate Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage to assist those with autoimmune/chronic inflammatory conditions, those with lymphedema, and those who have had orthopedic or cosmetic surgeries. 

Lymphatic sessions may include discussions around ways to detoxify the body (e.g., castor oil packs, herbal remedies, supplements, diet/nutrition, sauna therapy, dry brushing, exercises) and education for how to perform self-lymphatic drainage techniques. I may also provide referrals to naturopathic, ayurvedic or functional medicine practitioners in the Grand Valley to further assist you in finding the root cause of your symptoms for a holistic and systemic approach to your healing and wellness.

Having struggled with autoimmune conditions for several years, bodywork has been pivotal in managing my symptoms, retraining my nervous system, and activating my body’s own healing mechanisms. 

Autoimmune conditions have increased exponentially over the past few decades, targeting women more than men. The chronic pain, brain fog, and gut issues which accompany these conditions negatively impact one’s quality of life. The massage treatments I offer, including Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Reiki / Energy Work, can aid in the reduction and management of the symptoms of chronic illness.

My experience with movement therapy, yoga, and the Nia Technique has also influenced my bodywork philosophy and approaches. As a result, Nia Technique, yoga principles and movements may be integrated into your session. I hold a 200 hour Yoga Teaching Certification, and prior certifications in group fitness, The Nia Technique, in addition to Thai Yoga Massage, Neuromuscular Cupping, and Medical Massage. I am currently taking additional trainings in Oncology Massage and post-surgical lymphatic massage.

When I am not seeing clients, I love caring for others’ fur-babies through my side-business, The Snuggery House, (a dog boarding/sitting/walking business), practicing yoga-inspired functional movement therapy, reading, paddle boarding, hiking and spending time with my husband around the many trails in Grand Junction and surrounding areas.

Debbie Rosas, Founder of the Nia Technique says, “The relationship you have to your body is the most important relationship you will ever have”. Such a simple and profound statement I carry with me personally and professionally, as a daily reminder to listen to the body and nurture it intuitively, mindfully, and spiritually.

I look forward to meeting you!
