My name is Chadera Maasdam and I am a licensed massage therapist. I graduated from Body Wisdom College in Urbandale, IA. I completed a 900 hour program which included many modalities and unique techniques. I will be joining with Nicole Bandstra at Vital Massage within Browne Family Chiropractic in Pella, IA. I have always been interested in how the body works and traditional healing practices. After going to school to become a Medical assistant with limited Radiology, I found I really like helping people feel better. I worked as a Medical Assistant for 5 years as a float nurse for Skiff Medical Center. I decided I wanted a career change. This is when I became interested in Massage Therapy. I believe that massage is a great way to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and ease pain. I am passionate about helping people feel their best and reach their wellness goals. I specialize in several massage modalities including classic Swedish massage, hot/cold stone massage, deep tissue, bamboo massage, acupressure, and Thai Herbal. In addition to practicing massage therapy, I also enjoy spending time with my husband, kids and dogs. I love being outside camping or finding new trails to take my Bronco on.
