Massage Therapy
Our foundational massage therapy combines Swedish, deep tissue, and trigger point techniques to relieve muscle tension and improve circulation. Sessions are tailored to address specific concerns like chronic pain or postural imbalances while promoting overall relaxation. The integration of fascial unwinding helps release stored stress and trauma for lasting benefits.
Reiki Therapy
Reiki Level 2 sessions channel universal life force energy to restore balance and stimulate natural healing processes. This non-invasive technique complements physical massage by addressing emotional blockages and spiritual fatigue. Clients often experience profound relaxation and renewed vitality during and after treatment.
Sports Massage
Designed for active individuals, sports massage focuses on preventing and treating injuries through targeted muscle manipulation. Techniques improve flexibility, reduce recovery time, and enhance athletic performance. Sessions address common issues like tendonitis, muscle strains, and overuse injuries while incorporating stretching guidance for self-care.
On-Site Chair Massage
Corporate and private event chair massage provides accessible wellness experiences for groups. Short 15-30 minute sessions focus on shoulders, back, and arms to relieve tension in a seated position. Ideal for workplace wellness programs, weddings, and community events seeking to offer unique relaxation opportunities.
Fascial Unwinding
This specialized technique addresses connective tissue restrictions that contribute to chronic pain and limited mobility. By gently following the body's natural movement patterns, fascial unwinding releases adhesions and restores fluidity to the myofascial network. Particularly effective for postural compensation patterns and emotional trauma stored in the body.

I have been going to Heather for over 20 years. She is professional, strong and talented. I went this week with a sore leg and after the massage felt like it was back to 100%! Highly recommend her services!

I would highly recommend Heather to anyone looking for an exceptionally high quality massage. As someone who benefits immensely from trigger point therapy and deep tissue work, I found Heather to be very effective at treating my aches and pains. Heather was also very helpful with taking time to provide me with additional resources for treatment. She certainly showed she cared about my wellbeing. I will be seeing her again!

Im not native to Rhode Island and was gifted a massage from Heather on a trip to the area. It was definitely the highlight of my trip. She is a natural healer and her massage left me feeling relaxed and all the tension in my body completely dissolved. I may be making the trek from PA to have her work. She is amazing!

What an amazing woman and massage! I got a couple surprises and extended for a two-hour session-I had to. My rotator arm surgery wasnt sore anymore and my back-into-leg pulled muscle from running was gone and stayed relaxed all the home on five-hour flight. I wish I lived there. More than a masseuse.

I had some serious muscular issues and was calling around all of the local therapists. Heather went out of her way to get me in the same day and did excellent work on my back...well, whole body. She helped immensely and I will be back for follow up!
