I became a massage practitioner after my personal journey with pain and discomfort from ergonomic work stress.  My initial reason for beginning massage treatments began as pro-active to counteract ergonomic postures with my job as a dental hygienist.  Throughout the years my conviction has only grown for the range of conditions massage/bodywork can help with.  One of the greatest results massage/bodywork can bring is self awareness and a greater understanding of your physical body in daily life.  By being aware of subtle signs its possible to recognize harmful postures, activities, and ergonomics to self-correct. 



People seek massage for many different reasons and have personal preferences that are just as greatly varied.  My approach to each massage is unique to the clients needs and preferences.  I do not have a pre-programmed sequence or a one-size-fits-all massage routine.  I listen to my clients concerns, and encourage feedback throughout the appointment and work in large part by intuition and experience.

Joelle is a great and thoughtful massage therapist. The intraoral massage are very helpful to my clingy jaw, i see a difference right away.

Amazing and perfect!

JoElle is truly an artist with the human body. I came in for a TMJ massage and she worked on areas I didn’t even realize were hurting me. Besides her skill, she’s very warm and makes you feel at home and safe. I felt like by the end of the session I could tell her anything. I will definitely be back so I can continue to heal under her care.

JoElle is the best. Every time I have a session I come out feeling so relaxed and centered.

Joelle took the time to get to know and understand me and why I was seeking treatment. Such a highly skilled person with lots of insight and support. Great space and experience. Thank you!

Best massage and healing session ever and I've been getting regular massage for 40 years.

My dentist referred me to JoElle because she performs facial/oral massage for TMJ pain. It was a completely new experience for me and the morning following the massage my jaw felt much more relaxed.
