Howdy!
I’m Jacki (She/Her)
HELLO!!
I am continually committed to exploring both traditional and contemporary approaches that support the body's natural processes of recovery and well-being. My own personal health journey inspired me to pursue a career centered on helping others find relief from body-centered challenges.
I received my training at the Pittsburgh School of Massage Therapy, where I studied a wide range of techniques and therapeutic approaches. My practice includes Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Reiki, Neuromuscular Therapy, Myofascial Release, and Swedish massage. I am certified in Manual Lymphatic Drainage through Klose Training and hold a Reiki Level II certification.
While these modalities shape my work, they do not define it. More important to me is how I work. I believe meaningful therapeutic change often happens when we slow down enough to truly listen to the body. Rather than chasing tension or trying to force a release, I approach each session with curiosity, patience, and presence. My hands follow what I feel, allowing the tissues to guide the pace and direction of the work. Every session unfolds differently because every body communicates differently.
I've had the privilege of working with clients experiencing chronic pain, post-operative recovery, edema, and the accumulated stress of everyday life. Whether someone arrives seeking relief, restoration, or simply a quiet place to reconnect with themselves, I strive to create an environment where they feel safe, supported, and deeply listened to.
I believe the body is constantly adapting and communicating. Massage is an opportunity to slow down, pay attention, and support those processes with thoughtful, intentional touch. My goal is not to force change, but to create the conditions in which the body can soften, reorganize, and move toward greater ease.
Every body tells a different story. I value the patience and self-awareness it takes to listen to those stories, and I am honored to be a part of that process.
I look forward to supporting you on your path toward greater balance, comfort, and well-being.
