Weather have you feeling a bit down? Why Knot come in and get a massage? Not only will we make sure you're comfortable on our warmed table, while also melting your muscles!!
What do you get when you combine over 24 years of massage experience… with years of living in a body navigating chronic, undiagnosed illness?
You get care that truly listens.
At Why Knot Wellness, we don’t just listen to your words — we listen to your muscles, your fascia, and your nervous system.
And then we respond.
Using pressure that works with your body, not against it.
Pressure that invites your body to soften, to breathe, to sigh in relief — instead of bracing or enduring in silence.
Because massage shouldn’t be something you “get through.”
It should be something your body can settle into.
Have you tried Lymphatic Drainage Massage Therapy? The gentle rhythmic touch helps to move fluid out of your body as well as helps to relax both body and mind. It is truly a unique and wonderful experience, and one that you have to get to understand just how effective it can be!
Learning how to take care of your body between massage sessions can make a big difference.
One of the simplest (and most important) things? Staying hydrated.
Your body relies on water for just about everything — your cells, your circulation, and your lymphatic system all need it to do their jobs well.
After a massage (or even exercise), your body has been encouraged to move and shift — and staying hydrated helps support that process. Without enough water, you might feel a bit sluggish or sore the next day.
So think of it this way:
Massage gets things moving… and water helps it all flow a little more smoothly.

Communication is so important — especially during your massage.
I love when clients share what’s going on while they’re on the table.
Is the pressure too much? Not enough?
Is a spot feeling extra tender?
Do you need more support or bolstering?
Every body is different, and every session is unique. Open, honest communication helps us work together to create the best experience for you.
Your comfort matters. Your voice matters.

Fridays aren’t just the end of the week—they’re an invitation to come back into your body.
Somatic therapy is about noticing the whispers beneath the noise: the tension in your shoulders, the shallow breath, the emotions that pop up once the week slows down.
When we pause on a Friday to feel and integrate, we give ourselves permission to enter the weekend lighter, steadier, and more present.
So this Friday, take a moment—stretch, breathe, book that massage, or just notice what your body’s been trying to tell you all week.
