Registered Massage Therapist

Tuesdays and Thursday additionally (Staring March)
Natasia has always had a fascination with the human body. She took a particular interest in massage when her mom found the right therapist after experiencing intense migraines for many years. Natasia focuses on listening to the body with her hands to understand what the tissue needs while checking in with her patients to ensure they feel they are being treated effectively. Her style can be described as relaxing and therapeutic with an emphasis on trigger point & myofascial release along with patient education/home-care. In her spare time you can find her cuddling with her cat or bouldering.
