Temporary Closure
I have temporarily closed my doors due to health issues. I do not currently have a date of return but I hope it will be swift.
I may not be massaging at this time, but feel free to reach out with questions or comments.
I wish you all health and wellness through this holiday season. My warmest regards.

What to Expect
*Non-Hawthorn Farm Athletic Club members please arrive 5 minutes early with your ID at the reception desk for gym sign in paperwork.
The session time includes intake forms and any other time before getting on the chair/table. It also includes 5 minutes after the hands on time for you to dress. It does not include the time to clean the room/table/chair.
Your session is paid by the hour and not by the technique or type of massage (unless specified by a specific promotion). During your session we will discuss what your goals are for the session (ie. manual lymphatic drainage, shoulder pain relief, migraine support, relaxation, grief management…) and we will discuss a plan of action to best meet your goal(s). This often consists of a blend of the different technique styles I offer. I am not a “pain is gain” therapist. I do not believe that a session has to “hurt” to be effective, even when using deep tissue techniques. Also, deep tissue techniques does not necessarily mean deep pressure. Though, if your preference is for a deeper pressure session, this can be accommodated.
CranioSacral Therapy (certification in process)
CranioSacral therapy focuses on harnessing the subtle rhythms of the CranioSacral system, which involves the production and circulation of cerebral and spinal fluid. Unlike traditional massage techniques, CranioSacral therapy employs gentle holds rather than vigorous rubbing, inducing a deeply relaxing and grounding experience. Clients often report feeling lighter and clearer-headed after a session.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (certified)
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle hands-on treatment aimed at reducing inflammation accumulation, increasing lymph production and movement, promoting venous return, and providing soothing and potentially analgesic effects. Valerie offers this service as a Manual Lymphatic Drainage only session, a blend of Manual Lymphatic Drainage with Swedish Massage session or partial lymphatic drainage as part of a Therapeutic Massage service.
Prenatal Massage (certified)
Prenatal Massage is usually performed in a side lying position. The massage session is usually divided into two halves, with each side of the body receiving attention before the client rolls over.
Recommended schedule for Prenatal Massage includes once a month until the third trimester, then every other week until the last month, then weekly up to the 41st week.
Once cleared for labor, Valerie has a labor prep routine to help prepare for the body for labor.
Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic massage is all about customizing the experience to fit your specific needs. Valerie combines different massage styles and techniques based on what you’re looking to achieve, whether it’s working on an injury, relieving tension, improving flexibility, or simply unwinding. You bring your goals to the table, and Valerie’s expertise ensures they are addressed in your priority order.
