| About Mandala Massage The functioning of the body is intrinsically connected to the mind and spirit. When these aspects are working in harmony, health is achieved. At Mandala Massage we are interested in the wellbeing of the "whole" person, and work with our clients to achieve health and wellbeing from the inside out. The Mandala, a naturally occurring cyclic pattern, is symbolic of the universal connection of all of nature. In today's chaotic world, it is easy to lose sight of this connection and of our inner selves. Massage and bodywork, along with other methods, can help in centering a person and helping them to achieve balanced living amidst this chaotic world. At Mandala Massage we don't work on our clients, but with them. We are a family wellness center, focusing on helping eliminate stress from the lives of busy, multi-tasking women and mothers and helping to make their lives easier.. Most recently we have added to our available services, massage treatment for those with, or recovering from cancer. We do our best to provide treatments that suit everyone's individual needs. People are like snowflakes, no two are exactly alike. Therefore, no two treatments should be exactly alike either. Please communicate with your therapist to ensure a treatment and plan that suit you best, and works towards achieving your individual goals. Note: We provide forms of Therapeutic Massage only and do not in anyway offer or promote any form of erotic massage, nor do we provide massage treatments without proper draping. About me I'm a graduate of the two year/1000 hrs Associates in Myofascial Therapy program at Springfield Technical Community College where I currently work as instructor for the student clinic. I also have a B.A. in English, and am continuing my education in pursuit of a nursing degree, and eventually certification as a Nurse Midwife. I have worked in a variety of settings (spa, private practice, chiropractic, gym) and am dedicated to providing my clients with quality treatments geared towards the enhancement of their well- being. Although my practice is based in Therapeutic Massage, I have a strong background in Eastern modalities as well. I believe that energy is a vital part of any treatment and have training in Reiki. I specialize in Pregnancy Massage, Oncology Massage, Massage for chronic muscular ailments, and massage for women and children; but I welcome a diverse clientel from all walks of life. With the present state of the profession we are finding the field saturated with therapists from programs as short as 6 months. Inadequately trained therapists lead to a misrepresentation of the profession. I am passionate about Massage Therapy and believe that massage is an important part of maintaining a healthy body, mind, and spirit, and in living a balanced life. Please be sure to make sure your therapist graduated from a credible program, is licensed by the state or town, and is a member of a professional organization such as the AMTA or AMBP. Also know that therapists differ widely in styles, techniques, depth and personality, so if you’re not satisfied with a therapist, keep trying until you find someone who is the best match for you. |
