Adele Lafever, LMT Licensed Massage Therapist, Educator; Relational Practice Hi! I'm Adele, and I'm a holistic massage therapist and mind-body mediator.

I help people figure themselves out. We access the power of touch to solve your mind-body puzzles with my practical, nurturing support. It's like having a scientist specializing in YOU, but instead of invasive tests, we use sensational experiments to decode your personal formula for vibrant health! My own health challenges inspired my research to recover my health, decode my own unique chemistry a

nd neurology, and share the knowledge I gained with other explorers. All the best learning experiments are Hands-On... so I became a Licensed Massage Therapist and worked with naturopathic inpatients, supporting cancer recovery, opioid addiction, chronic pain, trauma, and other complex challenges. My clients told me, during weeks and months of intensive procedures and interventions, I was their favorite practitioner because I was often the only one to help them feel better RIGHT AWAY. These days, I practice independently alongside Dr. Jill Dawrs Family Chiropractic, where I focus on helping people with pain, anxiety, and other neurological conditions. I do my best work with people wanting support with:

-Specific Health Challenges. Who is attending to your comfort? Listening to your experience? Remembering to focus on you and what you’re going through?

-Unknown Conditions. Who is helping you adjust to mysterious pain, stress, or limitations? Who is open to your experimental ideas? Shaking loose a new clue?

-Vague Sense That Something is OFF. Who can help check if your discomfort, fatigue, or restlessness is normal? Who checks in with all your body systems together, looking at the big picture? I believe everyone deserves to get to know themselves, and many of us need a guide to help ask the right questions and recognize the body’s answers. If you share my clients’ desires for practical, nurturing support, reserve a time to talk to me about your hopes for treatment. Or, Book an Appointment to check in with your whole body, assess existing pain, stress, and tension, and dive into understanding the subject you already know best: Yourself!

Glitches and Hitches in your movement?

You’ll be surprised how much space you can reclaim in your body. Active Release is different from most table work; it helps us isolate and reset restrictions that don't show up when you’re passive. A shoulder that feels fine at rest but catches when you reach. A hip that cooperates until it suddenly doesn't. Active Release finds those edges and works right at them, which is why the results feel so functional.

Most chronic restriction isn't about the muscle itself; it's neuromuscular patterns that sneakily shorten the available range over time. Active Release breaks that pattern at the source. Combined with the gua sha for adhesions, and eucalyptus keeping the nervous system engaged with change, this Open Up session is for engaged restoration. You're not just receiving; you're participating, and your body remembers that.

This is particularly good if you just can’t get your shoulders to drop away from your ears. Restriction that has a mechanical cause deserves a mechanical answer.

You're allowed to expect more than maintenance.

We’re doing this Active Release and Range of motion work, combined into the full Open Up 90-minute special alongside gua sha and rainbow eucalyptus. Or pick one to try in your 60-minute session.

Love, Adele

It's even more lovely to connect with your loved ones when they've had a massage recently!

I'm so glad we found each other!

If your mind runs hot and fast, your tissues probably do too. Massage becomes a quieter classroom where the body teaches us how to slow the spin.
