Hi, I am Amber, a licensed massage therapist (LMT). While all has a necessary relaxation component, I focus my practice on therapeutic techniques. I enjoy the detective work of figuring out how and why my client is experiences certain muscular weaknesses or difficulties and apply specific anatomical knowledge to resolving those complications.

I employ post- secondary training in precision neuromuscular therapy (PNMT) and kinesiology toward my evaluation and treatment processes and seek to educate my clients on how their movements contribute to their muscular and postural conditions. I am constantly adding to my education foundation with a focus on medical modalities.

My approach is intuitive. I see the muscular condition through touch- and adjust my pressure levels and techniques according to the needs of the situation. This may involve employing stretching, heat therapies (including hot stones), static or dynamic cups, fascial scrapers and pressure point tools. While I am able to apply very firm pressure, I understand that it is not appropriate at all times, in all situations, or for all clients. While it may feel “painfully good”, very firm pressure often produces the exact opposite of sought0for result, causing the muscles to tense and protect the injured area resisting relief rather than loosening to allow for release and clarence.

I perform my massage with meaningful intention directed at pain relief, improved range of motion, increased flexibility, and overall decompression. My work will be applied with skilled focus on your concerns and aims to provide relief, to the best of my ability, and within scope of my practice. As a Wisconsin licensed healthcare professional, I am bound to HIPPA compliance, patient confidentiality, and practice in accordance with ethical healthcare guidelines.
