Services
Trauma Touch Therapy (TTT) encourages those who have experienced trauma to remain in the here and now and become more engaged with themselves and their lives again. Because most people suffering from trauma use dissociative survival skills to get through their lives, we aim to help the client learn how to experience joy and feel safe in their lives again.
Many cancer treatments require long term modifications. Massage is modified for clients currently being treated for cancer, or clients with a history of cancer. Clinical research shows that massage can be safe and beneficial for people in, or with a history of, cancer treatment. Patients and their caregivers report many and varied changes after massage.
Custom pressure is based on the clients preference, while incorporating integrated modalities of Swedish, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point Therapy, and Cupping. Massage oil or cream is used with smooth, gliding strokes. Swedish massage uses firm but gentle pressure to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension and create other health benefits.

Jesse delivered more than an amazing massage. His work is firm, consistent, broad yet specific, and tailors to what your body needs. His intuition is strong! I will be back and referring my friends and family to him. I can't wait for my next massage!!

I have been seeing Joanna for a couple of months now and I am certainly relieved to have found her. I had no clue what trauma touch therapy even was before meeting Joanna. Thank you for meeting me on my rough days and leaving me with an all over sense of being seen despite my trying so hard to hide. Every week is getting a bit better and I feel my strength, both physically and mentally/emotionally growing. This journey is kind and gentle. Thank you for seeing ME.

Joanna is a very special human being. I’m grateful to have met her. Her clinical expertise makes her massages more valuable. She educated me on the specific parts of my body that need stretched routinely to help avoid the chronic knots that I get in other parts of my body. Then she offered cupping. No one has done that before. Joanna goes above and beyond as a practitioner. Beautiful lady, I will definitely go back.

Joanna is absolutely amazing! Her treatment and demeanor is relaxing and comforting. She takes special consideration to your concerns and/or needs. I have been getting massages for 10 years; basic massages, hot stone massages, and sports massages but she is by far the best I have had. I will never go to anyone else. Love her and highly recommend her!

I saw Joann today for the first time. Kinda word of mouth through a friend via social media. I was always curious about cupping and I experienced it for the first time today. Joann was in tune with what my body needed and I let her do her thing. I was comfortable and relaxed and I believe progress was made. I would love to go back for an hour and see what she can do as far as deep tissue! 😎 Thank you very much and I wish I could have given you a bigger tip! I highly recommend anyone looking for pain relief and just in general a feel good body high go see Joanne! 💜

I can’t even begin to explain how phenomenal Joanna is as a massage therapist. When I had my first session, Joanna made sure to ask lots of questions to ensure she was working the correct areas. Her work space is very welcoming and she takes all the steps to make sure you are comfortable. She is truly magical and her passion for massage comes through in her work. Somehow she just knows where the problem areas are and always has me leaving feeling so amazing! My favorite thing about Joanna is how much she cares about her clients. If you choose to tip her, she doesn’t keep the tips for herself
