Laberge Massage Therapy

I became a licensed massage therapist because I deeply believe that massage and bodywork are fundamental components of living a happier and healthier life. Witnessing the positive impact massage has on my clients' well-being is incredibly rewarding. It motivates me to encourage everyone to actively participate in their health journey, and massage becomes a powerful tool in that process.

Through personalized sessions and a variety of massage techniques, we'll work together to achieve your goals. Whether you're seeking stress reduction, pain relief from muscle tension, or simply a sense of restoration for both your body and mind, I'm dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing space for you to heal and rejuvenate.

Therapeutic Massage Styles

I offer a range of therapeutic massage styles to address your specific needs:

• Myofascial Release: This technique involves sustained pressure and gentle movement applied to the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, organs, and other structures. Myofascial release helps break down knots and restrictions in the fascia, promoting increased mobility, pain relief, and overall flexibility. It is particularly beneficial for chronic pain conditions, muscle tightness, and postural imbalances.

• Deep Tissue Massage: This technique utilizes slower, more focused strokes to target deeper muscle layers and fascia. Deep tissue massage is effective for breaking down scar tissue, releasing chronic muscle tension, and addressing pain originating from deeper structures.

• Neuromuscular Therapy: This approach focuses on the interconnectedness of the nervous system and muscles. By identifying trigger points - hyperirritable spots in muscles - and applying specific pressure techniques to them, we can alleviate pain that may be referred to other areas of the body.

• Relaxation Massage: When the goal is pure and simple relaxation, I tailor my massage to promote deep tranquility and stress reduction. This style often incorporates long, flowing strokes, gentle kneading, and soothing aromatherapy to ease tension and help you unwind.

Meet Tess

Tess, my beloved Labradoodle puppy, is an integral part of my practice! She is a highly intelligent, hypoallergenic, and affectionate canine companion. While she will greet you warmly upon arrival, she keeps calmly settled under my desk during your session, ready to offer a gentle paw or a wag of her tail when appropriate. We are currently in training classes, working towards our Therapy Dog Certification. Tess is overjoyed to meet our clients and brings an extra dose of joy and comfort to the massage experience.
