Jennifer - Licensed Massage Therapist
Why did you become a massage therapist?
I became a massage therapist because of my deep appreciation for the transformative power of touch. Massage therapy chose me, offering a profound sense of balance, fulfillment, and a way to contribute positively to my community. The joy I receive from helping others find relief and relaxation is unparalleled.
Where and when did you go to school?
My educational journey has been extensive and diverse. I began with nursing education sponsored by Inova, which provided invaluable hands-on experience across various healthcare settings. Transitioning later into business marketing, hospitality, and sales at Northern Virginia Community College, I also delved into massage therapy at Mpower and AMBI. Concurrently, I pursued psychology at Keiser University, enriching my understanding of human behavior and well-being.
What modalities do you specialize in?
I specialize in a range of therapeutic techniques including Deep Tissue, Prenatal, Reflexology, Lymphatic Drainage, and the dynamic Thai massage, ensuring a comprehensive approach to healing and relaxation.
List any dysfunctions and acute/chronic conditions you have treated or particularly specialize in?
I have experience in treating conditions like Plantar Fasciitis, alleviating symptoms of anxiety through massage, and managing pain associated with Sciatica, tailoring my techniques to meet the unique needs of each client.
Why is massage important to you?
Massage therapy is not just a service; it's a lifestyle choice that promotes health and well-being over mere luxury. It's about fostering a culture of self-care where regular massage can prevent the need for more invasive medical interventions.
How would you describe your style of massage?
My style is deeply intuitive, focusing on what the body communicates. While I am skilled in deep tissue techniques, I prioritize a gradual transition into deeper myofascial work, ensuring that each session is both relaxing and therapeutic, tailored to enhance your healing journey.
What keeps you motivated?
My motivation stems from my family and my commitment to a holistic, healthy lifestyle. Every session is an opportunity to not only provide relief but to inspire others to embrace wellness in their daily lives.
