While at BCMT, her education focused on, but was not limited to, orthopedic, sports, and prenatal massage, incorporating aspects of Swedish massage, shiatsu, and neuromuscular therapies including myofascial release, trigger point therapy and soft tissue manipulation. She completed internships at the University of Colorado working with Division I athletes and an orthopedic rehabilitation center.
As a Bodyworker, her intention is to foster and facilitate the innate healing abilities in others and promote health and wellness in their lives. By integrating trigger point therapy, cupping, myofascial release, and soft tissue manipulation, she works to restore function, manage pain, and reduce stress, inflammation, and tension in the body.

As a mama of two kids herself, Jill loves working with prenatal clients helping to provide relief from all of the aches and pains that come from growing a human.
I scheduled a Sunday morning massage, mostly for relaxation, and Lucca did a wonderful job of asking questions, focusing on areas of concern, applying the right pressure, and even finding knots I didn’t know I had.
I’ve felt sore and almost sickly after some massages I’ve had in the past, but I felt fantastic after this massage and throughout the day.
I need massages more often!

EarthTouch was receptive to my needs, listened closely, communicated with me throughout my massage, and answered all of my questions.
The atmosphere is very pleasant, relaxing, and can be catered to anyones liking.
