Bodywork
At your massage session you will experience a flowing style Swedish massage to promote your relaxation, relieve muscular tension, and improve circulation and movement range. Every bodywork session includes complimentary hot stones and hot towels.
Life Coaching
In a life coaching session, I will assist in identifying your passions, strengths, and values, and help you align these with your career choices and relationships. By providing guidance and support, I will guide you in facilitating your personal growth, goal setting, and the development of strategies to achieve success and fulfillment.

Spa Services
Spa services include Rose Water Facial Massage Treatment and Foot Detox Massage Treatment. They can be an add-on to one of the many services offered or as a stand-alone service.
Yoga
I offer several different private yoga sessions in studio. Somatic Yoga, Yoga Nidra, and Yoga Massage. All yoga session are in studio and customized to meet your goals.
Energy Work
I currently offer two different types of energy work: craniosacral therapy and sound bath therapy. When working with your life force energy, I assist in balancing your chakras and manipulating the rhythm of your body to restore balance. Both modalities are complementary to each other as well as bodywork.
Relaxation Massage
A relaxation massage is a smooth, gentle treatment that relieves muscular tension, increases circulation, and promotes a general sense of relaxation. Beneficial for tension, stress reduction, reducing depression and anxiety symptoms, symptoms of fibromyalgia, headaches, high blood pressure, PMS and helps to improve quality of sleep.
Prenatal/Postnatal Massage
Prenatal/postnatal massage can help reduce pregnancy body aches, reduce stress, and ease muscle tension. Prenatal /postnatal massage uses mild pressure similar to Swedish massage. We can focus on areas such as your lower back, hips, and legs. You can be either side lying or lay on the pregnancy massage pillow that has a cut out for your belly.
Hot/Cold Stone Therapy
A hot stone massage is used to help you relax and ease tense muscles and damaged soft tissues throughout your body. During your hot stone massage, smooth, flat, heated stones are used in a gliding motion to transfer heat or cold to the muscles. Has similar benefits as relaxation massage.
Cupping
Cupping therapy is an ancient method of treatment that has been used in the treatment of a broad range of conditions. Cupping is a therapeutic process using a ceramic or plastic cup to create suction on the skin. The cup can either remain on the skin or the cups can glide on the skin both of which can help with increasing blood circulation on target areas where the cups are placed, relieving muscle tension and promoting cell repair.
Aromatherapy
Choose from a variety of essential oils and blends to enhance your experience on the table. Inhalation of essential oils can communicate signals to the olfactory system and stimulate the brain to exert neurotransmitters (e.g. serotonin and dopamine) thereby further regulating mood. Some oils can be added to your lotion or oil for massage if requested.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release is used to treat chronic pain which is caused by sensitivity and tightness in the fascia. Fascia is defined as a specialized connective tissue layer surrounding muscle, bone and joints. It also gives support and protection to the body. Myofascial release can help overall decrease stress on the human body movement system. It will reduce the soreness and help assist the tissues during the recovery process. Myofascial Release helps release tension, knots and headaches from tight upper neck back and shoulder muscles as well as in other common areas of tension such as the hips.
Gua Sha
Gua sha is an ancient practice that involves applying pressure to the skin with a tool to scrape muscles. At The Healing Garden, I use a trauma informed approach to provide the same benefits but without leaving marks or causing pain. The benefits can include: Improved circulation, reduced inflammation, relieved muscle pain, reduced puffiness, promoted lymphatic drainage, anti-aging benefits and ease symptoms of perimenopause.
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral focuses on aligning the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain and spine, thereby bolstering the body’s ability to fight off disease and infection. Craniosacral therapy provides a range of benefits for those who have severe head, neck, or back injuries. Craniosacral also provides numerous advantages for those experiencing anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, and severe migraines. Because Craniosacral utilizes light-touch techniques, it is safe for children and infants, even those experiencing trauma and complications stemming from birth.
Infrared Light Therapy
Infrared is a natural and safe way to boost energy, speed up healing, lower inflammation, increase circulation and improve skin health. It doesn't suppress any symptoms, but rather encourages the body to heal itself on a deep level. It has many roles in the human body. These include detoxification, pain relief, reduction of muscle tension, relaxation, improved circulation, weight loss, skin purification, lowered side effects of diabetes, boosting of the immune system and lowering of blood pressure.
FAQs
What is your cancellation policy?
If you cancel or reschedule less than 48 hours before the start of your appointment, or no show, you will be charged for the full amount of your session, regardless of the reason for cancellation or rescheduling (illness, injury, bad weather, transportation issues, childcare issues, etc.). This is my livelihood. Without this income protection it will be unaffordable for me to continue doing this important work.
Instead of viewing this fee as “having to pay for something you didn’t receive”, please view it as a way to show your respect and appreciation of my time and the help I provide to you, as well as a commitment to the sustainability of my business.
When you schedule an appointment I agree to hold that spot for you. In turn you agree to pay me for that time. Ideally you will receive great bodywork, but if you cancel or reschedule with less than 48 hours notice and I cannot fill that spot, then you agree to willingly pay me for my time that you reserved.
If you would like to reschedule your appointment, please text me at 360-605-0022. As long as you are requesting to reschedule at least 48 hours before your appointment time, I will only charge a small reschedule fee of $25. This reschedule fee is similar to the cancellation fee above since a rescheduling of a time on my calendar is a cancellation of your original time with a new hold of time for your new appointment. Please note that the reschedule fee for appointments scheduled on a Saturday is $55.
What are your rates?
All appointments are: $60 – 30 minutes; $110 – 60 minutes; $165 – 90 minutes
Do you sell gift certificates?
Yes. Click here to purchase an electronic or physical gift certificate.
Do you have a massage membership?
Yes. Click here to set up your membership and to read the terms and conditions related to my membership program.
How early should I arrive?
Please arrive at least 5 minutes before the start of your session. I have a chair outside of my room for you. Please do not knock or open the door until I invite you to come in. I may be with a client and I want to ensure everyone is allowed their privacy according to HIPPA. Additionally, please do not text me when you arrive as I may be in session and I won’t be able to view your message and/or respond.
Please plan your arrival in advance. I am located at 3305 Main Street, across from Peace Health Medical Offices (formerly Peace Health Urgent Care). It is the tall white building on the corner of 33rd and Main Street. I am on the basement level in Suite 025 with elevator and stair access. Once you arrive down stairs, simply follow the signs for The Healing Garden.
Parking is free and available along the building. Do not park in the adjoining parking lots or you may be ticketed.
There is a restroom outside of my studio that is locked. If you need to use the restroom before your session, please ask me for the key when I let you in. Unfortunately, I am not able to leave a key for the restroom outside of my studio for security reason. I appreciate your understanding.
If I am late will the time be made up at the end of my session?
Arrivals more than 15 minutes late are considered a no show and will be cancelled. If you are late, I am not able to make up the time at the end of your session as I have other appointments and that would not be fair to them.
Do I have to put a card on file if I am paying with cash, have a gift certificate or using a voucher?
Yes. A card on file is required to book any appointment. Your card information is securely stored and I will not sell your information to anyone. I will not run your card without your verbal or written consent (such as your agreement to my cancellation policy, massage membership, and/or by electronic communication).
What forms of payment do you take?
Cash, credit card, FSA and HCA cards, Venmo and Cash App. Cash and Venmo preferred.
