Also known as "cross-fiber massage", this technique addresses specific muscles and muscle groups. The practitioners are trained to fix specific problems. It is a fundamental technique that offers fast results for both pain and stress. This technique begins gently and progresses deeply as the outer muscle fibers relax, allowing the second and third layer of muscle to be addressed.
Deep tissue massage is designed to relieve severe tension in the muscle and the connective tissue or fascia. This type of massage focuses on the muscles located below the surface of the top muscles. The term "deep tissue" is often misused to identify a massage that is performed with sustained deep pressure.
This is an acupressure-type technique performed on the hands and feet and is based on the ancient Oriental theory that meridian lines or pathways carry energy throughout the body. Because each zone or part of the body has a corresponding reflex point on the feet, stimulating that reflex point causes stimulation in the natural energy of the related organ.
Angela graduated from the Northwest Academy for the Healing Arts in West Seattle. She customizes every massage based on her clients wants and needs. Her varied approach and techniques provide long-lasting benefits to all her clients. In addition to massage, Angela is a 3HO-Certified Kundalini Yoga Teacher.
Once the treatment has been determined, the therapist will leave the room to allow you the privacy to get onto the table and make yourself comfortable. Before re-entering the room to begin the treatment, your therapist will knock on the door. Depending on your preventative and maintenance needs, one massage per month is the recommended frequency.

Vitalize is a gorgeous, wonderful healing space. I’ve been a client there for many years through pregnancy, breastfeeding, and other good times. I really appreciate the therapy I had received there because it is so clear that Angela is passionate about what she does and she cares. She does more than help you relax, she is a healer.

Angela has a balanced approach to body work; whether I am looking for a relaxation massage or to work on a particular troubled area. She’s helped me address a lower back issue I’ve been having since starting a new exercise regiment. This involved different methods of treatment during my session that resulted in realignment of my hips and immediate relief. She also helps maximize the overall effectiveness of my treatments by showing me additional stretching and strengthening options I can do after my session to continue improving my flexibility and strength. Her technique and skills are truly

Angela is kind, caring, generous, professional, and skilled.
My wife and I have been getting massages from her for a couple of years now. She has an uncanny ability to find the locations that are in most need and focus on them to relieve those pesky muscle knots.
Her new location in Normandy Park is fantastic, brand sparkling new. She has created a very relaxing environment to go along with her high level of service she always provides.

I've continued to see Angela consistently since before my original review back in 2017 with excellent results. She just gets better and better and able to focus on the areas that I need to keep my lower back pain in check.
Since I work in the computer industry where I sit for hours and sometimes don't stretch nor sit correctly, I do corrective exercise and have chronic lower back pain and don't stretch as I should. I've found that periodic massage really helps relax the knots in my muscles and all the massage therapist at Vitalize do an excellent job.

Angela is the truly as good as it gets: friendly, highly knowledgeable, research-oriented, and very centered on healing and mobility of her clients. I've seen here a few times over the years and she takes pains to remember my problem areas and checked in about stretching advice she gave. A true partner in wellness. Plus, I love the new location (new to me) in the plaza. Clean, well appointed, and with a great mix of music (Peter Gabriel's Passion came up in the mix!) to play.

I highly recommend Vitalize Seattle for the care and attention given to each individual. Angela and Jacqui are both excellent practitioners. The space is welcoming and comforting. I became a member and receive massage monthly. I am grateful for the improvement I feel and for what I learn about my body each time. It is truly a unique place and a very special pair of therapists - I couldn't be happier!

FINALLY found my regular place after moving and searching for A YEAR. Went and saw a LOT of massage therapists and Vitalize Seattle is hands down the best place. Have LOVED every massage I've had so far. Price is the best in the area, AND Jacqui and Angela are SO nice! Definitely the best place in Tukwila, Burien, West Seattle, & White Center. Look NO further.

I was recommended this place a few months ago and signed up for a massage expecting the same old same old.
I've had 2 massages with Angela and I've had such an improvement in my quality of life. Angela asked my hobbies and job to figure out my highest points of tensions and helped work them out. And afterward, she even taught me some gentle corrective exercises to reduce pain and tension.
It's clear that Angela loves her work and loves helping people have healthy bodies. I would definitely recommend her.
I've heard that Jackie is also wonderful, too, but I haven't

I have been going to Vitalize Massage for over two years now. Angela has been a healer in every sense, helping me through athletic endeavors, pregnancy, and recovery from pregnancy. She approaches her clients from a holistic point of view, while also staying safely in her realm of massage therapy. She is the kind of practitioner who is always learning, evolving, and expanding. She is meticulous in everything she does. She has great energy and SHE CARES. She has become a trusted partner in my life for achieving good health. As a physician, I think having a skilled massage therapist is critical

Angela is not only a kind and dedicated perfessional she is the most skilled body worker I have ever had the pleasure of receiving a treatment from. I have been having body work for over 35 years and all over the world and she takes the time and effort to really get to the root cause of your body issues. Every visit she uncovers more areas of attention. She works in a wholistic way and the results are fantastic. My sport performance is much improved and my state of mind has improved as well. I highly recommend her as a practioner and human being! I'd also recommend going for at least 90 minutes

I feel so fortunate to have found Angela. She has been working on both my husband and myself for years now. Her knowledge is beyond words. She is always taking classes and trying new techniques that only add to her abilities. Her approach is different then other therapist I've gone to. I do hair for a living and stand on my feet all day with my arms in the air. Angela is able to get all of those knots out in my shoulders and back.You walk out of there feeling like a new person! She takes the time to listen to your problems and gives you exercises to help you with healing. I can't say

I'm so thankful I stumbled (with a bad back) into Angela's place of business. I made an appointment for the next day and she was wonderful. She gives the right areas the attention needed and uses high quality oils. She is also very in tune to how your muscles are responding to her treatment and adjusts her techniques as necessary. I'm excited to go back!

I have had the pleasure of massage with Angela many times. An excellent listener, she is a focused and mindful healer of body and mind. She's able to apply just the right pressure to release tension and loosen knots, relaxing my muscles and leaving me feeling wonderful. A skilled therapist who is delightful. Do yourself a favor and book a massage with her!
