About Me
Massage Therapist + Reiki Master
Hi. I’m Stacey and I’m a massage therapist and Reiki Master.
- I enjoy working with people with chronic pain resulting from migraines, headaches, low back pain, plantar fasciitis with deep tissue massage.
- I like helping relieve this pain with deep tissue massage, cupping, and/ or scraping.
- In addition to massage, I like to bring stress relief and relaxation to others with a Reiki session.
- I love to add chakra balancing and crystal healing to any session (no charge!)
Why Massage Therapy + Reiki
As far back as I can remember, maybe back to the age of 15, I can remember having low back pain as well as muscle tension headaches. I never understood it - just knew it hurt. My mom was a big believer in alternative treatments and I went to see a chiropractor, an iridologist (yes - you read that right), and multiple western doctors. It really wasn’t until I started studying Reiki that I found a blissful pain relief. And then, during massage school, I learned the importance of regular massage work. Having work done consistently left me not feeling pain, and I couldn’t believe it. Since being in massage school, I have realized the importance of receiving Reiki and massage myself so that I can continue to be out of pain. I’ve learned how to treat myself with both Reiki and massage, but also make sure I’m on a massage therapist’s table very regularly. I’ve learned that if I acknowledge my pain, and use essential oils, heat, Epsom salt baths, or ice, that sometimes what I do is enough. Other times, it is not. The times I am on a massage table and have no specific complaints, I leave feeling so relaxed and much lighter.
Having struggled with pain and treatment for a long time, I understand when a client says to me that they need relief, or need the pain to go away. I’ve learned the hard way, as I can be quite stubborn, the power of self care and acknowledging when I need help. My clients are in good company when they schedule an appointment seeking relief.
Massage + Reiki
- I like to get to the root of the problem - as to why something hurts. And sometimes, what clients think hurts turns out to be something else. Their right foot hurts, but through working the rest of the body, the left hip and low back hurts too.
- Through visiting with each client, we work together to choose a plan for treatment.
- It might be a full relaxation massage, or to start with Reiki and then move into massage; we may choose to place some cups for the trouble spots and then work the rest of the body with deep tissue while the cups do their job.
- Each client and each session is unique.
- I look forward to each person I work with, and truly believe I meet each and every person that I am supposed to for a reason. I love what I do and love helping others.
