Announcing the relocation of my office to a new location in East Asheville. Thank you to all my clients who have supported me and my practice for exactly 5 years! I opened my door on 9/1/2020 and now again on 9/1/2025!

Please come in and help me welcome the new energy of healing though the integrated approach of myofascial release and myofascial massage, along with many other modalities.

I’ve been working to expand my skills in Myofascial Release (MFR) and myofascial massage, and I’ve seen positive changes in many clients. While pain relief tends to show up a few days after treatment, many report lasting benefits, such as improved movement and less discomfort during exercise. If you're interested in exploring a new approach to pain relief, I’d be happy to discuss how MFR may help.

I’m taking advantage of the post-hurricane downtime to attend another Myofascial Release workshop. I’ll be heading to Cape Cod for John Barnes’ Fascial Pelvis training. I’m excited about this opportunity to deepen my skills, learn more about the technique and philosophy behind it, and share the experience with friends and colleagues.

I’m especially excited to bring fresh techniques back to my clients and enhance their experience. Please take a moment to read this very interesting article on fascial release.

If you ever wonder how does it feels like to experience Myofascial Release, read it here. We also have the benefits that you can get from it.

Dear friends and clients!

Wow! What a horrific event we have suffered and will continue to suffer for an unknown period of time. I would like to report that I am ok and so is my family and my house. I so hope that ALL of you are safe and sound as well.

The office and the area has not sustained any damage, has power but NOT water. The chiropractic side is open some hours also.

I do not know and cannot predict if this is a good time to resume any semblance of my services, but I am very happy to open my doors to anyone needing bodywork at this time. We are all using our bodies extra hard now and if there’s a way I can support your wellness I am happy to do so. Of course given that you can travel safely and not too far.

I will offer 50% off services for anyone who needs this discount. Please let me know at time of booking♥️🙏

With a heavy heart for the losses sustained, I wish for everyone health, safety and resilience at this crisis moment.

I am thrilled to attend my latest training technique in July at the World Massage Festival. The Erik Dalton Myoskeletal technique has shown remarkable results in addressing persistent and challenging conditions. My own integration of myo-skeletal alignment, myofascial massage, and nervous system relaxation techniques creates a transformative and rejuvenating experience for clients. I’m so excited to see how this technique will continue to transform my work.

Take your practice to the next level with Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques (MAT). Move beyond basic relaxation massage and discover the secrets to lasting pain management. Erik Dalton, Ph.D., has distilled decades of expert research into comprehensive courses and engaging workshops. As a form of bra...

Myofascial massage adds a whole new dimension to bodywork, with better results than Swedish/deep tissue.

Hey friends and clients!

I've been working hard on building my practice and its been a rewarding journey. I'm really loving living here in the mountains and slowly growing my business in a way that supports my longevity and those of my clients. I am so tremendously rewarded each time you walk out feeling synchronous and start healing.

I just figured out how to implement an online booking system so if you or anyone you know is in the Asheville area, looking for deep tissue massage therapy, please feel free to share my website.
