According to the American Sleep Association, approximately 50-70 million Americans suffer from some type of sleep disorder. The ASA reports that insomnia is the most common specific sleep disorder, with short term issues reported by about 30% of adults and chronic insomnia by 10%. Stress is an inevitable part of life, but people experience it in different ways.
Whether through a chemical imbalance or through simply not knowing the skills to decrease and deal with stress in a healthy way, people suffer with various mental and physical symptoms related to this high level of stress. According to the Mayo Clinic, a tension headache is defined as "a diffuse, mild to moderate pain in your head that's often described as feeling a tight band around your head."

I have been living in the beautiful mountains of Colorado for 23 years, originally moving from Michigan to teach skiing at Vail. I am a downhill and cross country skier, hiker, rafter, mountain biker and all around nature lover. When I am not playing in the mountains I am traveling with my husband, Derek and dog, Izzy.
Massage is defined by Mirriam Webster as: : manipulation of tissues (as by rubbing, kneading, or tapping) with the hand or an instrument for therapeutic purposes. In the West, basic training for massage therapists is in Swedish massage, which combines a variety of techniques such as effleurage (gliding strokes), petrissage (kneading), friction, and tapotement (light percussion).
A typical massage therapy session is 60 or 90 minutes plus time for a brief consultation and review of symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle. Please arrive 10 minutes early to fill out the needed paperwork. During your first session, I will spend time getting to know you and your health concerns.
In order for the massage therapist and the client relationship to work properly, clear communication is necessary. If the client has any medical conditions, recent injuries or surgeries, or regular medications, the massage therapist needs to be informed prior to the massage treatment. Below is a list of conditions that you should make your massage therapist aware of immediately.

My massage was phenomenal. I will definitely be coming back monthly. The customized pressure, attention to detail, responsiveness to my muscle reaction were perfect. She is also incredibly friendly and accommodating. The room is relaxing, comfortable, customizable for warmth. I don't even remember the music I was enjoying the massage so much, but I'm sure it was great, too. Definitely book. You won't be disappointed.

My sister in law bought me a gift certificate to see Jenn for Christmas. I originally was in no rush to book an appointment, but after a couple weeks of skiing and hiking, my leg and back were sore so I decided to go. Jenn was AMAZING. It was a great mixture of deep tissue massage in areas I really needed it, and relaxing massage in others. She was very warm and welcoming as soon as I arrived, and the ambiance of the room was very relaxing. If you're in the Vail Valley and are looking for a great massage therapist, look no further.

I had a 90 minute massage today that could have only been better had it been on a beach! Jenn is an incredibly skilled therapist who tailors her massage to the individual. And her massage table is hands down the most comfortable table I've ever been on! My only complaint is that I have yet to convince her to follow me around in my travels so I can get a massage from her every week.

Jennifer was wonderful! She came to our vacation house for two 90-minute sessions of what proved to be total relaxation and rejuvenation. She took time to listen to our needs and adjusted her massage techniques accordingly. She was very professional and her years of experience definitely showed in the quality of her massage.

Jenn is truly talented. I've never been to a massage therapist who is this attentive to every muscle that holds stress or tension. She is very passionate about helping clients feel better and by bringing them to better health through her therapeutic massage. The aromatherapy during each session is an added bonus! Thanks Jenn! Looking forward to my next visit with you.
