Your Trusted Partner for Massage Therapy Solutions
Fluffy Tiger Massage was founded on a deeply personal journey that began in 2005 when I witnessed the transformative impact of oncology massage on my mother during her battle with thyroid cancer. This experience inspired me to pursue a career dedicated to blending Eastern and Western therapeutic techniques to create a holistic approach to healing. With licenses in North Carolina and Massachusetts, along with NCBTMB-approved provider status, I have spent nearly two decades refining my practice to serve clients with conditions ranging from chronic pain to cancer-related discomfort.My philosophy combines the gentle touch of 'fluffy' techniques for sensitive cases with the targeted strength of 'tiger' methods like deep tissue and acupressure. Every session includes essential oils, hot towels, and a range of therapies without additional charges, reflecting my commitment to transparent pricing and client-centered care. As a national board-certified CEU provider, I prioritize continuous learning and ethical practice, ensuring clients receive both effective treatment and a respectful, no-surprise experience.

Services
Signature Massage
A unique blend of Eastern and Western techniques combining deep pressure with gentle stretching. This clothed session improves flexibility while addressing muscle tension through pliable movements. Clients experience enhanced circulation, reduced stress, and postural alignment, leaving them feeling rejuvenated and physically balanced through our dual-approach methodology.
Cupping Therapy
Utilizes controlled suction to lift muscle tissues and improve blood flow. This therapy reduces chronic pain, accelerates cold/flu recovery, and releases toxin buildup. Clients choose between traditional fire cupping or modern pump systems for customized treatment targeting specific areas of muscular discomfort and respiratory issues.
Oncology Massage
Specialized gentle techniques designed for cancer patients and survivors. This therapy addresses treatment side effects through modified pressure points and lymphatic drainage. Benefits include improved sleep quality, reduced anxiety, and enhanced immune function while maintaining medical safety protocols throughout the treatment process.
Trigger Point Therapy
Targets specific areas of muscular adhesion using sustained pressure techniques. This treatment alleviates chronic tension patterns caused by overuse injuries or trauma. Sessions focus on breaking down fibrous knots through concentrated tiger-pressure application, restoring normal muscle function and reducing referred pain patterns.
Sports Massage
Performance-focused therapy combining deep tissue work with dynamic stretching. Designed for active individuals at all fitness levels, this service enhances athletic performance, prevents injuries, and accelerates post-event recovery through tailored pressure techniques and movement-based rehabilitation strategies.
