About
Massage Therapy for pain and stress relief
At a young age I learned the power of caring touch from my parents. My mother always had open arms with tender steady love. My father would rub my back at night to help me fall asleep with his big gentle work hands. Touch is a fundamental human need.
Years of Experience
Thanks for visiting the website! I’m Sheila Ryan, licensed massage therapist, reiki practitioner, aromatherapist, and 200 hour certified yoga instructor. I graduated from Ashmead College of Massage Therapy in Everett, WA in 2007. I received my initial experience working with medical massage, helping clients with motor vehicle accident and work related injuries. I have since enjoyed positions in both Chiropractic and Spa settings as well as private practice. I have taken Advanced Training Techniques for Shoulder and Rotator Cuff Dysfunction, Clinical Sports Massage, Hot Stone Massage, Aromatherapy, Cupping Myofascial Release, Low back Pain Relief, Whiplash Therapy and Reiki.
I practice holistic integrated treatment, seeing the body, mind, spirit, breath connection important for healing. I bring a variety of modalities ranging from medical massage to relaxation to benefit my clients.
In April 2024, I trained with the Center For Barefoot Massage in San Luis Obispo, CA. I am now offering Ashiatsu barefoot massage as a way to apply up to four times the amount of pressure for deep work and stretching the myofascia system. If you like deep tissue, you will love this!
