“Esther is amazing! I hurt myself at the gym and could barely walk, but she fit me in last minute and instantly put me at ease with her calm and kind energy. Her treatment rooms are so warm and welcoming, and she's incredibly knowledgeable, she even showed me helpful stretches before starting. The massage was intense in the best way, both relieving my pain and helping me relax. Thanks to Esther, I was back to normal much faster than expected. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and caring massage therapist!”

Whats the fuzz?!
This fun, educational video produced by quirky anatomist Gil Hedley P.h.D explains the fascinating workings of Fascia in layman's terms. Fascia is a thin sheath of fibrous tissue enclosing a muscle and organs that permeates throughout our entire body, and is the main focus area for treatment in massage therapy. This exploration of fascia is what we Bodyworkers call "exploring inner space". The continuous pursuit of understanding how to correct imbalances within the relationships of the deep layers of fascia, organs, bones and muscle is my passion in life. If you need a short answer to the question, "Why should I try massage? What good will it do me?" This video is for you!
