Hi, my name is Hannah. I have been a massage therapist for a little over 16 years. I had never thought of a career in massage until I reaped the benefits. I was working as a police dispatcher for almost 6 years when I got a headache; a headache that lasted every day for a year. Doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong, muscle relaxers did nothing, and physical therapy didn’t help. At the urgings of my sister, I went and saw a massage therapist who specialized in therapeuticmassage. For the first time in over a year, I was pain free. As I continued to receive massage, I became intrigued with the natural healing of massage. One year later, I quit my full-time job and dove into the schooling and training to become a massage therapist. My approach to massage is true therapy. My goal is to elicit change in the muscle fibers. Yes, you still receive the positive side effects of massage such as relaxation, the ability to sleep better, increased circulation, etc, however, I love to get my fingers, arms, hands, and elbows in to the tissue to “retrain” it so you have less pain, more movement, and basically feel better. In massaging as long as I have, I have learned that where the pain is being felt is rarely the source of that pain. Finding that source and “retraining” it to function and move properly, or to “let go” is where my true passion lies. I pride myself in providing a rehabilitative/medical massage that heals and relaxes. I am an Arizona native, and have been married for 10 years to the most amazing man in the world. In the 13 years we have been together, we have traveled within the United States, have taken annual motorcycle trips around southern AZ, and have loved returning to our beloved Hawaii, where we were married, to celebrate our anniversary. We enjoy spending our weekends at home with our two beautiful girls and awesome dog. We try to live a full life, balanced with health, fitness, play, work, and ice cream!
