Meet Sierra
With a decade of athletic experience under her belt, Sierra has gained extensive insights into supporting the body through its healing processes and maintaining optimal function. Her journey began with her own 15 year long battle with back and knee injuries, where she learned firsthand the importance of proper body care and rehabilitation. Since then she has experienced some version of each kind of issue, and found unique ways of supporting their unique transformations. This understanding fueled her motivation to seek out advanced training in neurological bodywork systems, leading her to travel to Chicago and Ohio for the courses. There, she immersed hersef in learning techniques that are typically reserved for unique physical therapy offices, mastering one-of-a-kind methods that enhance the body’s natural healing capabilities.
Sierra’s experience in massage therapy has also evolved significantly over the years. She is passionate about tapping into a state of flow during each session, ensuring that every client feels genuinely cared for and experiences the benefits of a quality massage. She is also equipped in supporting emotional trauma release during massage. Her goal is to provide a personalized and effective approach to bodywork, helping clients achieve their wellness goals and feel their best.
