Amanda started her career in 2002 when she became licensed in Washington State. With 20 years experience Amanda uses an array of modalities to customize treatment depending on the patients individual needs which may include Trigger Point Therapy, Deep Tissue, Proprioceptive NeuroMuscular Re-education, Sports Massage, Stretching and Rolfing but sometimes we all just need a good relaxation session.

Amanda most enjoys working with chronic pain patients as well as prevention and rehabilitation for surgery candidates and helping educate patients what’s happening in their body and how and why the treatment they are receiving can benefit them.

Besides providing  a deeply relaxing experience on the massage table, I am always interested in helping you move better, move easier and move more so you can do what you want and need to do in your life whether it’s to climb more mountains, ski longer or quilt without discomfort. I enjoy working with you to find out what isn’t hurting but is contributing to a problem, improve that.

I do tend to get on people’s nerves. Turns out helping the nerves have more circulation and improved movement is surprisingly mild, quick and effective. This is true whether the nerve is buried deep or close to the surface. I like to help you discover a few simple exercises or new practices that feel good when you do them. Improving a movement pattern can make all the difference.

I am grateful to share my 33 years of experience working with people and their bodies with you.

My sessions can feel more like a physiotherapy session at times rather than a massage treatment due to the effective modalities I use to achieve results.
