About
Deb has been practicing massage since 1996. Licensed in both California and Washington, she carries a Corrective Exercise Specialist Certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine, and is a student of NeuroKinetic Therapy.
Bringing herself through the journey of rehabilitation from a significant neck injury, Deb understands, first hand, the frustration and loss that can accompany the healing journey. Dealing with pain, loss of movement and freedom can be devastating. Rehabilitation from an injury happens on many levels, can take time, and requires competent support. Deb is dedicated to working with you to create effective treatment that brings about dynamic stability to the body and restores pain free movement. The body is incredibly resilient, and given the right help, miraculous things can happen.
Deb is resident of Anacortes, moving several years ago from Santa Cruz, CA, and maintains a massage practice in both locations. When she is not practicing massage, she enjoys tending to her flock of chickens and ducks on Guemes Island. You can purchase eggs from her happy laying hens by clicking on "Shop...Farm Fresh Eggs" above in the menu bar.
Mission
To understand the "WHY"
behind the dysfunctional movement.
Locating and understanding the root cause of muscle imbalance, leads to the solution.
Why does a particular place on the body hurt?
This question informs the work and will provide a road map to healing . There are generally two reasons the body experiences pain: traumatic injury or muscle imbalance. Understanding your history, and discovery in session, will target the specific areas of treatment, healing and restoring strength and mobility.
Approach
We start with a thorough intake of discovery- interviewing, understanding your unique history, using movement assessment, manual muscle testing, palpation, and observation. This holistic approach allows for know more about you. Sessions aim to make corrects and restore functional movement. Dysfunctional muscle compensations are corrected with bodywork, stretching, specific muscle activation, and corrective exercise.
