I am an active mountain sport enthusiast who spends much of my free time outside on my mountain bike, climbing, snowboarding/splitboarding, hiking and backpacking.

I came to massage therapy because of my personal experience with physical limitations and regaining my physical health.

My active lifestyle came to a halt when pain prevented me from enjoying the mountains I love so much. After years of being physically active, involved in sports that abused my body, and dealing with pain that sent me to a PT for help. He worked on my lower back, using Myofascial Release techniques and after a few sessions, My pain was gone and I was able to return to an active lifestyle. I began riding and racing mountain bikes; returned to snowboarding, climbing and backpacking. All I had thought I had lost.

The experience of losing something you love and the gift of its return inspired me to go back to the classroom and become a licensed massage therapist. I want to give that gift to others, to help them return to the activities they love.

Yes, and I have. Rick C.

I am new to MFR so I don’t have any experiences to compare to. However, I think Pip is the first practitioner doctor or otherwise who actually reviewed my medical info before our session. She had questions about my different surgeries and ailments, and I didn’t have to tell her everything for the first time verbally after I had written it all down before my appointment. She seems to take an interest in her patients, makes you feel safe and comfortable. I am looking forward to working with her on my healing and health journey.

My initial experience w/ Pip and fascia release was relaxing. I was relaxed throughout, hearing birds, and outside activity. The open window offered cool, fresh breeze. The 90-mins flew by quickly. Afterward, Pip gave me some helpful suggestions.

Pip has helped me with my jaw and neck issues. I feel like the more I see her, the more she knows what she needs to do to help me feel better.
