Welcome to "Balanced Health Massage & Nutrition", the place where you can take care of yourself, both inside and out!

Massage: I offer Neuromuscular Therapy, Neuromuscular Re-education, injury treatment and deep tissue massage. Whether you suffer from an injury, new or old, or chronic pain related to stress, work or poor posture, you should feel results in only one or two appointments. I work with a network of health care providers from Chiropractors to Acupuncturists, Life Coaches to Fitness Trainers in order to best serve you. If you would like to be part of my network, send me an e-mail!

Nutrition: I work with my clients to address the underlying causes of chronic pain and discomfort that may stem from poor diet and digestive issues. Common disorders I work with include: Low energy, Sugar cravings, PMS, Food allergies and sensitivities, General moodiness and depression, Digestive disorders, and Inflammation. I am currently working/researching the role of diet and stress related to infertility in women.

You can choose an individual massage or nutrition appointment, or combine the two to custom tailor a two hour appointment.

What I offer: one on one nutritional counselling

group nutrition discussions on a variety of topics

massage therapy

newborn massage instruction for parents

I accept cash, check, most major insurance plans, personal injury and L&I claims.

If you have any questions, I would be happy to discuss them over the phone, or email.

Both Neuromuscular Therapy and Neuromuscular Re-Education are very specific techniques used to decrease trigger points and increase range of motion. When a trigger point is released you benefit with increased range of motion, decreased pain, more energy and better circulation. Numbness and tingling can also be alleviated. When combined with other deep tissue techniques, such as Muscle Energy Technique and Cross Fiber Friction (yes, they can be as uncomfortable as they sound!), the benefits are longer lasting. Add nutritional therapy into the mix, and you are able to support your healing and decrease inflammation for a longer period of time.
