She is experienced working with clientele with diverse age ranges, health conditions and session goals.

Experience

In addition to her 9 years of private practice, Maureen's massage experience includes four years massaging at both the Seattle Tennis Club and as a member of the AMTA-WA Sports Massage Team. She has experience massaging at athletic events including STP (Seattle to Portland), the Seattle Marathon and RAW (Ride around Washington). She is currently working with Group Health Research Institute on a study of appropriate massage dosage for neck pain. She also works with the residents of Horizon House, a continual care retirement community in downtown Seattle.

Office Features

The office is located in the clinic above Fremont Coffee and is a comfortable and safe atmosphere in which to receive a massage. Office features include a heated massage table and cozy flannel sheets. If you arrive early, enjoy a cup of hot tea or filtered water in the clinic waiting area.

Massage Philosophy

Massage sessions are focused on meeting her client's health goals, which often include: relaxation, self-care, pain relief and injury treatment. Maureen enjoys sharing her knowledge of anatomy and helping clients achieve their personal health goals. She encourages clients to consider how their lifestyle contributes to their posture, holding habits, stress levels and injuries. She also encourages clients to pay attention to how their body feels so they can determine how often to get a massage. Her hope is that each of her clients will make self-care a priority.

I invite you to call or email to schedule a massage. Sessions are available by appointment only.
