The Heart Behind

About Erin
My connection to bodywork began long before I understood it as a profession. As a child, my parents would massage me before bed to help me relax and sleep. From an early age I came to understand the comfort and healing that can come through touch.
That connection became something more while traveling in Thailand in 2012, when I enrolled in an 80-hour Thai massage program. For the first time, I experienced the deep sense of fulfillment that came not only from receiving bodywork, but from providing it to others. I returned home knowing I wanted to continue along that path.
I went on to complete a comprehensive massage therapy program at the Bodhi Tree Center for the Healing Arts in Carson City, Nevada, graduating in 2014. My training encompassed a wide range of modalities, including Swedish and deep tissue massage, Shiatsu, acupressure, energy work, and prenatal massage. I also learned movement-based bodywork techniques such as passive/active stretching, active myofascial release, and manual soft tissue mobilization. Since then, I have continued to expand my practice through training in craniosacral techniques, cupping, and, currently, Erik Dalton's Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques.
Over the years, I have worked in spas, massage centers, as a mobile therapist, and now from my own private studio in the forest. Those experiences have shaped a philosophy that remains at the heart of my practice: the technique should serve the person and there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach to hands on healing.
I charge for my time rather than modality because each session is a blend of my education, experience, intuition, and what your body needs that day. My approach tends toward deeper therapeutic work aimed at relieving areas of tension and discomfort, but your preference always come first. I am happy to accommodate those looking for a lighter more relaxation based experience.
This is your session, and I want you to be completely comfortable. I usually play instrumental music set to 432hz, but I can take music requests. Whatever you want to listen to I want to listen to. The oil used can also be customized. I make my own product with shea butter, olive oil, and beeswax, but you are welcome to add any essential oils that you feel are appropriate. I am educated in essential oils and can provide suggestions. Please don’t hesitate to speak up if you are not 100% satisfied. I will happily adjust pressure, lighting, temperature, or volume.
Outside the studio, I love spending time in nature with my husband and three children. I enjoy foraging and making medicinal concoctions with my findings. I also enjoy gardening, caring for our animals, and creating yummy meals and snacks in the kitchen.
I’m looking forward to meeting you and assisting you in your healing journey.
