Our Team
Marissa attended and graduated from Boulder College of Massage Therapy as a certified massage therapist in 2008. 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.
Marissa adapts each session to the client’s specific needs and preferences. Offering a restorative, deeply relaxing, therapeutic massage.
She comes from a family of body workers and has always believed in the healing benefits of massage not only from chronic pain but for emotional mental well being. Her goal is to bring loving awareness to your body and mind through therapeutic touch.
Erin loves to combine many of the modalities she has learned over the years to customize every massage for each individual. A few of these modalities include Swedish, Deep Tissue, Hot Stone, Aromatherapy, LomiLomi, energy work, and Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage.
Vanessa believes therapeutic touch is essential for wellness, healing and growth. She provides full body relaxation Swedish massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, craniosacral and bodywork for PTSD. Vanessa is also certified in Thai and Shiatsu and integrates these modalities into table massage treatments.
Best place to get a therapeutic massage. These ladies are educated in different techniques and always meet me where I’m at.
Jessica became interested in massage after experiencing the transformative power of therapeutic massage as a client. After years of back pain that did not respond to treatment by doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, or acupuncturists, it was therapeutic massage that finally corrected the underlying issues and ended her chronic pain.
As a bodyworker Jessica feels honored to work with her clients towards their own healing. Each body on her massage table is unique, special, valuable. Each body deserves to feel better and function better. Each body is cared for as if it were her own.
Jessica uses long strokes to connect different areas of the body, which helps balance the nervous system and imparts a state of deep relaxation. She calibrates her pressure to target specific muscles and melt out any tight bands, trigger points, or adhesions. She often uses hot stones to deliver penetrating heat that reduces pain and tightness while increasing circulation to an area. For areas with significant restriction she uses cupping to bring space back into the tissue and loosen adhesions, allowing muscles to regain independent function.
Desi is also very passionate about incorporating all aspects of the body, mind, and spirit which leads her into continuing her education in holistic nutrition, energy therapies, and eastern approaches to bodywork. When booking a session with Desi you can expect a relaxing approach to deep tissue, attentive and intuitive care.
Jill was trained in massage therapy at the Cortiva Institute in Seattle, The Costa Rica School of Massage, and Bastyr University. She also studied under Brian Utting in Seattle perfecting muscle specific deep tissue techniques.
Jill comes with great experience working with grief and emotional stress. She has an indepth understanding of the process massage therapy has for healing the emotional body and is able to hold space for the transformation.
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!
Vanessa deepened her studies in Thailand, where she became certified in Advanced Thai Massage at Loi Kroh Massage School. With a compassionate presence, Vanessa is dedicated to offering a space for every client to practice self-care, whether recovering from injury or healing emotionally.
On a personal note, Vanessa lives with a chronic autoimmune disorder and understands the challenges that come from bodies that don’t always work the way we wish they would.
Vanessa has spent many years living and working in wilderness settings and is an avid outdoor enthusiast, enjoying backpacking, hiking, boating, climbing and taking her puppy Gracie on all sorts of adventures.
She is delighted to meet each of her clients and support them in their journey.
She has always been attracted to natural and ancient medicines, but it was through her healing journey after a brain injury that she saw the amazing effects of massage therapy. She fell in love with the deeply intuitive and connected work of assisting people in pain reduction, improved posture/mobility, and balancing their nervous systems. Leydon combines deep tissue, relaxation, and energetic techniques to create a sacred space that allows the client to fully drop in.
Her specialty and passion is working with prenatal/postpartum clients. She is a trained Doula, although not currently practicing. She feels very connected to nurturing mamas during their biggest transitions. Leydon believes that when we are kind to ourselves, it is easier to be kind to the world around us.
Amber is very interested in learning as much as she can about the mind/body/spirit connection, which she believes to be the key to unlocking deeper healing in each person. Along with her desire to continually grow her strengths in massage she has several treatment modalities that she uses in sessions: Swedish massage, Deep Tissue massage, Thai massage, Sports massage, Prenatal massage, and Reiki healing.
Barrie has pursued extensive study in Traditional Thai Massage, Thai-Shiatsu, and the Trager Approach.
She has the ability to work sensitively and effectively with people with pain, trauma, injuries, surgeries, pain conditions, repetitive stress injuries, neuromuscular disorders, and stress disorders. She has also studied Chi Nei Tsang and often incorporates abdominal massage for its long reaching benefits on digestive, stress-related, and mobility issues.
Her style has evolved to incorporate gentle movement into most sessions, listening with her hands, and orienting toward ease. The result is effective, deep work that is enjoyable and pain-free to receive. Sessions are highly individualized and focused on restoring balance, alignment, mobility, and physical ease. She is described by clients as sensitive, intuitive, knowledgeable, and curious.
Jessica was receptive to my needs, listened closely when I told her how my EDS is affected by massage, communicated with me throughout my massage to make sure she was meeting my disability needs, and answered all of my questions.
The atmosphere is very pleasant, relaxing, and can be catered to anyones liking.
I will certainly be returning!
