Alice Marie
In an attempt to satisfy my overwhelming maternal nature, I have found that massage is the perfect outlet for that energy. I truly enjoy the happiness in my day, and relate to the quote: “If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.” To me, that is massage, an opportunity to bring, joy, relief, relaxation, a moment of peace, a feeling of happiness in a day, or life, where it may not otherwise feel so.
“Alice has been so incredible in the last year, helping me to make great strides in my physical health! She is by far the best masseuse I have ever worked with, and I cannot recommend her enough.” – Rachel B.
The primary focus of my treatment(s) is responding to the moment, not on a set routine or technique. The techniques are used as a tool, or medium, through which we (the client and I) experience a journey through the tissue and subsequent healing.
“EveryBody” is different, and hundreds of hours of training and subsequent massages in my practice show me how we all are truly magnificent and unique.
Couple the above with “self-care is the new healthcare”, who isn’t concerned about their health, healthcare, and rising costs, the ACA – do I feel a headache coming on? We all know that stress is bad for us, it triggers cortisol, and a myriad of other issues. How do we combat stress/cortisol? We get the parasympathetic nervous system working; when our body is able to rest, it promotes relaxation (slows the heart rate), and improves digestion, increases blood flow to our muscles which brings oxygen and promotes healing.
“Forget the cheap, generic Thai massage and the meaningless tease of the chiropractic “freebie.” Put your money where Alice’s fingers are. Alice spotted my pain points as soon as I walked in the door. My shoulders and neck were seized with tension, and she knew just what to do. With her strong – okay, amazing! – fingers and anatomical knowledge, she went after the causes of my distress.”
