Hi! I'm Val, a Licensed Massage Therapist and trauma-informed Yoga teacher with nearly a decade of experience as a body worker.  I found Yoga and massage around the same time, over 20 years ago. I've continually benefitted from both practices, ranging from injury recovery to stress management to increased overall wellbeing, and I'm grateful to be able to share those same benefits with others. The longer I'm in practice, the more I'm in awe of the body’s innate ability to repair and recover, and the way our nervous systems are involved in what and how we feel. I'm passionate about how the body works and repairs as a whole, and approach each treatment with the full body in mind, blending modalities to achieve personalized, lasting ease and relief.

Helped all my trouble spots!

Such a wonderful experience. Val listened to my concerns, and I left feeling rested and relaxed. Moreover, I was NOT in pain the next day, which has happened with other providers in the past. Can't wait to go back!

She frequently checks in during the massage to see if you need anything, such as a change in pressure.

Val is amazing. Very knowledgeable, loves what she does, and gives incredible massages. She's been my massage therapist for years. If you're in need of some self care, book a massage with Val.
