Elaine's Therapeutic and Rehabilitation Massage

01/12/2026

Shout-out to my Alma Mater today -Boise as this year marks my 16th year as a massage therapist. What was supposed to be a temporary pivot so I could return to school to finish my degree in social work (while working as a massage therapist), turned into a complete career changes and I've never looked back.

Thankful for my instructor Rob who taught me how to market myself and how to make a business plan. He also gave us students the opportunity to volunteer with the Boise State Athletic Department, working on the student athletes that ignited a passion in me.

Being a massage therapist has provided me a career that I love, allows me to help others feel good in their bodies, and has provided me flexibility in my schedule, as an entrepreneur, to both provide income for my family and to be home when my kids get out of school.

Here's to an AMAZING 16th year!

A special young woman (aka my daughter) will also be selling homemade toffee for her band trip in March.

Too busy to make to the event? They can visit the link in my bio and purchase you a digital gift certificate that will be sent directly to your email.

Happy Holidays!

I will be partnering with and participating in the Christmas Preview. I'll be offering jeweled ear seeds and a discounted price and will be selling my essential oil nasal diffusers.

The Downtown Chico Christmas Preview is a great way to get into the Christmas spirit and support local businesses.

Hope to see you there!

Hi! It's Elaine, your friendly massage therapist looking a hot mess, but letting you know I'm here!

Life has been a bit on the wild side and I feel I've been juggling lots of things, well, I HAVE been juggling a lot of things, but things are getting ready to settle down. . just in time for the holidays 😆🤦🏽‍♀️

New booking system seems to be working well for clients, but I'm still trying to get used to it. I'm also currently booked through December 10th 😳 so if you're hoping to get in sooner than that, I'd visit my booking link and hop on my waitlist. It will notify you if cancellations happen that fit the days/times that you're looking for.

I am truly so grateful for all of my clients who trust me with their care and add sunshine to my day. You mean so much to me.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend 🎃 💀

**Worth the read** Last year, what I thought was a grouping of pimples actually turned out to be a staph infection. After the scab fell away my skin began to heal and I was left with a wonderful scar on my nose 🙄 I was already self conscious about nose to begin with, but why not add a scar on top of that. Insecurity level high. But I knew my skin would do it's thing and eventually, things would look "normal" again.

Fast forward to this summer when said she was looking for people to practice on for a new service. She told me it was good for acne scarring (have a bit) and collagen production. Sign me up!

I was definitely looking glowy after, but oh my gosh! The scar on my nose looked so different! Redness had gone down significantly. So much so that a few days later my son (autistic and NEVER misses anything) touched it and said "mom, your nose is healing." Yeah, amazing.

Now, fast forward to today. This is my second treatment and look at that bottom picture. Even more reduction in redness and Julia pointed out that, not only is there a difference in the tone and texture in my skin but the scar looks closer to my natural color as well ❤️❤️❤️

If you want to try this treatment, it's the Custom Chemical Exfoliation. It stimulates healthy cell turnover while addressing pigment and lackluster skin. AND it helps with pigmentation, aging, scar revision, and acne while having tightening and brightening effects. Do yourself a favor and book this treatment now! You won't regret it.

Co-worker: You're always studying. I see you writing a lot.

100% true.

I'm either reviewing old things, studying new things, or updating my monthly and weekly goals. The work is really never done.

Sometimes it seems like a lot and sometimes I feel like I have everything under control.

But one thing is for sure, I won't stop. Learning and growing is the way to be ❤️

So many new and exciting things coming your way!

I'm gearing up to add Peri-Meno Massage to my service menu and I am looking for bodies to practice on. This massage is different from my typical sessions as it uses essential oil, is slower and more gentle, we work specific shiatsu meridian points, and we don't address areas of concerns you have. Did I mention it's slower and more gentle?

If you are experiencing menopause or perimenopause symptoms, I'd love for you to come on and experience this massage. I am looking for two volunteers on August 19th. One at 9 AM and one at 10:30 AM. If you're interested and available send me a message. I'll add another date in a couple of weeks.

*these sessions will be offered at a discounted rate of $80**

I did it!

I recently became internationally certified as a Certified Infant Massage Teacher (CIMT ®️) by world-renowned Liddle Kidz ®️ Foundation.

I learned about Liddle Kidz®️ shortly after I finished Massage school and thought it would be fun to learn, but it kind of fell off my radar and I couldn't remember the actual name of the organization when I was ready to fully dive in. Fast forward to last year and Liddle Kidz ®️ suddenly started popping up in my news feed on FB. Apparently, the universe felt it was time for me to get to it.

I had the choice to become a teacher or a provider. I chose to become a teacher so I could teach caregivers how to provide this therapeutic touch to their babies and create a bond 💗

Currently, I'm working on a course description to begin offering the class through our parks and recs department. Nervous but super excited.

Don't miss out!
