Whitney Thompson PTA LMT *Not accepting new clients
Deep Pressure
Whitney has 12 years of experience in Physical Therapy in many settings. It became obvious that manual therapies were not only a very difficult skill to obtain but highly effective with most conditions. Massage is just one modality to recovery as well as proper self care.
​
Whitney's sessions are concentrated in the areas that need correction however her approach is systemic, assessing all adjacent muscle groups or even the whole body if that's what you're looking for. She's great at deep tissue! Her sessions are clinical but you would never think it. She uses deep, slow and long strokes as well as specific techniques that get into all the nooks and tiny muscles you never knew where there! She focuses on unique stretching strategies including myofascial release, active release and traction.
Morgan Dean LMT
Medium - Deep Pressure
Morgan attended THREE massage programs looking for the best resources in a therapeutic style massage. If that's not dedication I'm not sure what is! After realizing engineering wasn't for her she couldn't help but notice the positive impact massage has on the human body.
Morgan thrives with myofascial and neuromuscular facilitation which are difficult applications. She's great at deep tissue! If you've never received these modalities, it includes gentle active or passive stretches which may involve you to move a joint upon her request. Morgan's sessions target the source of the issue giving extra time to turn those tight muscles off. Her up beat personality will leave you with a smile to go with those relaxed happy muscles!

Shelby Lessig LMT
Medium Pressure
Prenatal Therapist
Shelby has been practicing massage therapy since 2016, and over the years has created a massage style that is unique to each individual’s needs, believing that what works for one person’s healing process might not be the right fit for the next. She aims to facilitate the body’s natural healing process by targeting specific areas of dysfunction with deep but mindful techniques that alleviate pain, while also remembering the benefits of full mind-body stress relief through rhythmic relaxation methods.
She believes in the power of regular massage therapy work as part of a person’s ongoing health and wellness plan. Outside of the massage room she believes the best thing someone can do for themselves is engage in mindful movement practices as much as possible.
She utilizes a variety of techniques that include myofascial release, pin & stretch, and trigger point among others. Her available services are therapeutic, deep tissue, prenatal, full body lymphatic massage for healthy persons, and dynamic cupping- a unique style of cupping massage that uses silicone cups moved across the skin to help to lift and separate muscle and connective tissues to soften stubborn areas of tension
