Helping Hands Massage

04/23/2026

👋 Hi there!! I've noticed some new faces recently, so thought it was a good time to reintroduce myself for anyone new here!

✨I graduated from Madison College's massage program in 2021 & after a few years of working at a corporate chain, I finally opened my own studio in in July 2024…and soon I’ll be moving to a brand new location downtown!!

✨My massage style is a combination of Swedish & deeper therapeutic techniques, tailored to YOUR unique needs, which helps each client relax while getting deeper work done! I don't use a cookie-cutter sequence, and adjust my work as needed to address any problem areas you want to focus on 😊

✨My specialty is neck & shoulder work, but I work with a variety of clients on a range of soft-tissue ailments. At this time, I cannot accommodate services for Oncology Massage (active in treatment), Geriatric Massage (80+ years) or Pediatric Massage (under 14), but I continue expanding my training & this may change in the future!

If you haven't been in for a session yet & aren't sure if I'd be the right fit, you can always send me a message to chat about your massage goals😊 happy to have you here!!

📣Now that I've signed the lease, I can officially announce that I'm moving into a new studio space beginning June 1st 🙌 New space, same tailored service you've come to know from Helping Hands 🥰🥰

The new address is similar, so hopefully it doesn't confuse anyone🤣 but my new space will be downtown on the 2nd floor of the Hometown Pharmacy building!

✨I still get lots of questions about lymphatic work & some are hesitant to try a new massage modality, so I thought I'd let a couple of my clients tell you how has benefited them😊

While it can be beneficial for almost everyone, there are some specific health contraindications to this modality...so, it's always best to chat about it beforehand & I'm always happy to answer questions!!

✨ICYMI - I've added a Nourishing Foot Scrub to the service menu 🙌 just in time to get your feet ready for sandal weather!!

Revitalize your feet with this Himalayan Salt Scrub, designed to gently exfoliate and moisturize, leaving your skin feeling soft and rejuvenated. This luxurious treatment helps to remove dead skin cells while promoting circulation, providing a soothing and refreshing experience!

✨ I recently received the best compliment when a client shared that they came to see me because a loved one told them how comfortable I made them feel during their massage 🥰🥰

This is also why I love working with first time massage clients! It can definitely be intimidating when you’re new to massage & don’t really know what to expect…and I know that I can provide a safe, comfortable space and client-first massage experience for them!! If you’re looking for an MT that will listen to your needs, let’s get you booked 😊

✨Hot stones (Basalt, Himalayan, or any other variation) are often marketed as “just relaxation.” However, heat is one of the most effective therapeutic tools we have in bodywork 🙌🏻

Here’s how hot stones can be used very intentionally in sessions👇🏻

• Increase local circulation through vasodilation, which can help tissues feel less stiff & more receptive to massage
• Stimulate thermoreceptors that interact with pain pathways, helping reduce pain signaling & protective guarding
• Heat can temporarily increase tissue pliability, especially when paired with gentle movement or pressure
• Warmth signals safety to the brain, activating the parasympathetic (aka rest & relax) nervous system, which is often when muscle tone starts to soften
• Clients frequently tolerate pressure better after heat because the nervous system is already in a much calmer state

This is why I believe hot stones are a truly underrated therapeutic tool for a massage session 💆🏻‍♀️ When it comes to Himalayan salt stones specifically, one of the biggest benefits is the 84 minerals found naturally occurring in the salt…which is absorbed through the skin & benefits your body!!

❄️ This time of year is the perfect opportunity to talk about the Himalayan Salt Stone Massage 🙌👇

This deeply relaxing & rejuvenating service combines the benefits of heat, mineral-rich salt, and skilled techniques. The warmed salt stones help relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote detoxification while also gently exfoliating the skin for a natural glow. Beyond the physical benefits, Himalayan salt is believed to release negative ions, which helps to balance energy, reduce stress, and create an overall sense of grounding. This is an excellent service choice for those seeking a more holistic healing experience, as it not only soothes the body but also harmonizes the mind & spirit 💆‍♀️ combined with Aromtherapy & CBD cream, it’s a truly luxurious service!!
Available for a 60- or 90-minute session!
