Ali Rogers

Ali was born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri, and has been a Northlander all her life. Three weeks after high school, she was attending Heritage College to follow her dream. She knew from a young age, that to become a massage therapist was her one, true calling. Her passion in life is to improve others' lives through massage therapy. She graduated from Heritage College in September of 2011 with her Associates of Occupational studies in Therapeutic Massage. Soon after, she passed her national boards and recieved her NCBTMB certification in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork, in which she still upholds today. By Febuary of 2012, she had her first job as a licenced massage therapist, and since then has been taking every opportunity to step up and climb the ladder of success which has led her here today. She's always been a bit "heavy handed", so to speak, and loves doing Deep Tissue work where she can incorporate her certification in Trigger Point Therapy. In fact, she likes to think of Trigger Point therapy as one of her specialties, as she tries to interweave it into any and every massage she can. She loves how empowering of a modality massage therapy can be in getting to the root of a person's chronic aches and pains, and alleviating them. Although Trigger Point therapy could be, for a lack of a better word, considered her "favorite" technique, she's also certified in Positional Release, which is quite the opposition. Whereas Trigger point therapy can be quite intense at times, the purpose of Positional Release is to bring your body into a "position of ease" in which any initial pain felt first pinpointing the area would decrease or completely disappear while placed in the hold. This technique requires a bit of patience, however, as you must then hold the client in the position of ease until the therapeutic pulse felt by the therapist runs it's course. Both techniques, as opposing as they are, are equally effective in alleviating pain and tension at the source. That said, Ali always takes the time to listen, and will customize each massage to meet her client's needs.
