Nancy's philosophy of practice centers around the belief that the body is always in the process of finding equilibrium, balance. She believes massage therapy is a proven way to support the systems of the body concerned with restoration and repair. Massage therapy helps the muscles of the body relax as well as helping the body to shift into a state of rest and relaxation, promoting optimal healing.
With respect to pressure, Nancy works with the individual client to determine the most effective level of pressure for the comfort of the client and the desired outcome. Different parts of the body respond differently to depth and each person has his/her own threshold. Generally, if the pressure at times "feels intense, but good", this can be a very effective level for chronically tight areas.
Nancy became interested in practicing massage after experiencing the healing benefits first-hand. She suffered from chronic lower back pain, upper back pain, and debilitating migraine headaches. Receiving massage regularly helped her manage the stress of juggling a family and a full-time career, along with the discomfort of sitting at a desk most of the day and a long commute. She has since changed her lifestyle quite a bit! But like most people, she still encounters her fair share of stress and still enjoys receiving the benefits of massage on a regular basis.
Nancy has been living in Durango Colorado since 2005 and when she's not working, she enjoys exploring the area with her husband and children.
