Relax. Rejuvenate. Soothe.

I opened Soothe Total Wellness at the Riverwalk in Lawrence, MA in October of '23. I absolutely love the area and look forward to meeting as many people from the surrounding communities as possible. 

About me: 

It all started when I first laid my hands on my classmate's back on Day One of Massage School.  I had thought that I was destined to be a doctor or a nurse, but when my life took a detour I discovered a strong love for the profound healing properties of Massage Therapy.

I opened Soothe Total Wellness at the Riverwalk in Lawrence, MA in October of '23. I absolutely love the area and look forward to meeting as many people from the surrounding communities as possible. 

About me: 

It all started when I first laid my hands on my classmate's back on Day One of Massage School.  I had thought that I was destined to be a doctor or a nurse, but when my life took a detour I discovered a strong love for the profound healing properties of Massage Therapy.  

I consider this bio my resume to you, my potential future client.  I have chosen to break away from the standard spas and salons to offer you a truly personalized healing experience.  I have found a certain assembly line style at many of these places and it doesn't seem to contribute to the authenticity of the healing experience.  

Running my own practice gives me the opportunity to specialize, grow, and offer personalized treatments to my client base.  I care about helping you to heal and I care about my reputation as a Massage Therapist and Healer.  Every session revolves around my intentions to affect positive change for you in your body, mind and spirit.

With this is mind, I am always pursuing education and adding to my offered healing modalities.  I find that regardless of what you choose to call the energy around us (the Holy Spirit, Mother Earth, the Universe, Source, etc.), it is an active part of our daily lives.  When we choose to block certain things, we develop pain.  It is my goal to facilitate your healing and give you gentle motivation to move forward in a positive direction.

Many physical pains are rooted in emotional, mental, or other energetic blockages.  I use crystals, vibrational sound healing, symbolism, the Tarot, and other "magickal" modalities to treat pain in my clients, in addition to manual therapies.

If you ever have any questions about the services I offer, I am happy to connect with you and discover how I can help. Here is my list of performed modalities:


MODALITIES:
  • Deep Tissue, Swedish, Myofascial Release, Prenatal (Pregnancy)
  • Cupping and Guasha
  • Hot Stones, Crystal Reiki/Therapy, Tarot Massage
  • Forearm Dance, Lomi Lomi, Myoskeletal Alignment
  • Aromatherapy, Salt/Sugar Scrubs

I hope that I am the therapist you are seeking, but if I am not, I can try to refer you to a therapist who may better suit your needs.  I am happy to see others healed and happy!  I experience beautiful surges of positive energy when I can help someone to heal, so it is a strong motivation for me to fit your specific needs for healing.

LMT - Elements

I worked at Elements as a front desk clerk, as a trainer, and as a Licensed Massage Therapist from May 2011 to December 2011. I learned how to work in a busy environment and gained a lot of experience.

LMT - A Mother's Touch

I trained under Kristy Keck and learned how to perform prenatal (pregnancy) massage. I learned how to run an office and my own client book independently. I gained experience observing my mentor and built confidence.

Assistant Instructor - Anne Arundel Community College.

I worked as an assistant to the program director, Lynne Brummitt. I taught all levels of massage including Swedish, Deep Tissue, and Advanced Massage. I loved teaching new therapists, sharing my knowledge and having work friends. This was one of my favorite jobs ever! December 2011 - May 2014

Owner/LMT - Tina's Therapeutic Massage

I owned and operated a small massage business where I treated clients with therapeutic massage and beauty treatments. I maintained records, did my own taxes and billing, and advertised my business, all while becoming a single mother and supporting my child. I grew my small client base from 15 clients to 263 clients within less than a year. May 2015 to January 2016

LMT - A Touch of Luck

I worked as an independent contractor at MGM National Harbor, providing professional massage to casino guests as they played. Later, I coordinated and coached independent contractors at MGM Springfield and helped open their poker massage team.

LMT - Professional Massage

I worked as an independent contractor in the Encore Boston Harbor Poker Department. I made many permanent clients from this one venture. After the casino closed due to covid in March 2020, I was contacted by my high limit clients for house calls.

LMT - Poker Games

From Spring of 2021 until present, I work at private poker games. While the players are engaged in the game, I will work on them in a massage chair with the face rest taken off. I typically work evenings from 5 until 11pm.
