Massage Therapy
Therapeutic massage is treatment that is more focused on dealing with a specific issue or injury. The pressure and technique will vary depending on the individual, but the goal is resolution of the issue.
It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff neck, back and shoulders, TMJ, Sciatica, Tendonitis, and other overuse injuries. The treatment can be uncomfortable, so communicate with your therapist during the treatment and to report any lasting discomfort post-treatment.
Stress relief/relaxation treatments and pre/post natal massages are all classified as Therapeutic massage. Just don't choose Therapeutic Deep!
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the insertion of thin, single use needles into specific Acupuncture Points to stimulate the body's own natural healing resources. The needles act like a switch; turning off something the body is doing too much of, or turning on something the body is not doing enough. The basic principles of traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) state the Qi, Yin & Yang need to be in balance within the body to maintain health. Acupuncture is one part of TCM used to restore or maintain that balance.

Lianne graduated from the International Academy of Health Education in 2020. Her passion for being of service to others began when she was a young girl, helping her mother that suffered from cancer. She would massage her mother to help her manage the pain and stress associated with her illness.

She found Massage Therapy on happenstance, and applied to attend; instantly knowing this was where she was supposed to be, and everything clicked. Her focus has since been on educating and empowering clients to better understand where their pain stems from, and developing an effective and practical treatment plan that enables clients to reach their goals. She wants to continue learning new skills and techniques to better her practice, such as cupping and/or sports massage.
In Lianne’s spare time, she enjoys spending time in nature, listening to audiobooks, and dancing.
