Terminal tension tied you in knots? Got those 13-hour-days-hunched-over-the-keyboard blues? I've been a massage therapist for over 25 years, and I've been practicing in Ballard for the past 12 years. You'll always get a massage that's totally customized to your needs ~ no cookie-cutter stuff here. I specialize in neck, shoulder, and upper back pain. (But I also do a kick-ass relax-to-the-max, zone-out stress relief treatment). Whether you woke up with a "crick" in your neck, got whiplash from a fender-bender, or have had chronic pain for years, I'll meet your specific needs with care (and a touch of humor).

  What is it about Jan's massage that is so special? Patience. First she finds the spots in your body that need ironing out, than she patiently works them until they melt away. She's great!   [less]

  I have always led a very active lifestyle and have felt the stress it has had on my body. For years I had thought of regular massages as a luxury. Now that I have had weekly massages with Jan, I believe it is not only an enjoyable and relaxing experience, it is a necessity to my overall well-being.
  

  When I first went to Jan, I was surprised at how she was so attuned to my own personal health needs. She asked many questions to learn more about how she can help me. I could tell that she not only knew about massage as an art form, but she also knew how to use it as an effective tool to heal. Her massage room is warm and inviting. I soon found that all the knots in my back were magically melting under her fingertips. I quickly realized that this one-time luxury needed to be a part of my weekly routine.
  

  Jan has proven to be a true professional as well as a master of technique. I never knew my body could feel this healthy! She has definitely played an important part in my efforts to manage daily stress and maintain my overall health.   [less]

  My wife, Miriam, has been a massage therapist for years and she has been through many good and bad massage therapists. I met Jan at a SPIN networking meeting and she offered me help in many aspects (her background is amazing!!), without asking for anything. My wife had just been through labor and she needed a good massage badly. She was amazed by the way Jan works. She experienced one of the best massages ever, and she was really relieved from the pain in her upper back and neck.   [less]
