Therapeutic Massage is the manual manipulation of muscle and the soft tissue of the body. We use a variety of massage techniques including, Trigger Point, Swedish, Deep Tissue and Sports Massage, and Cupping to produce the best results for your individual needs. Every treatment is customized to have the greatest benefit for the client. Massage is successfully used to treat headaches, muscle pain and or injury, stress and stress related illness, post surgical rehabilitation and orthopedic recovery. Massage also helps increase general well being and increases the release of endorphins to help elevate mood and reduce anxiety and depression. Massage can also help with sleep and chronic fatigue disorders. Massage therapy is performed while the client is lying on a massage table. The client has complete control and undresses to their own comfort level and is always completely draped with a sheet and blanket for modesty and comfort.
Reiki is an ancient healing modality in which the practitioner’s hands are placed on or slightly above the client’s body. Universal Life Force, (Universal Energy, God Force or Energy) passes through the hands of the practitioner to the client. Reiki will compliment any healing journey, from acute or chronic pain and illness, depression, anxiety or stress. Reiki also helps with post surgical recovery and rehabilitation. Other benefits include increased sense of well being and peace of mind. Reiki is performed with the client fully clothed on a massage table.
Prenatal Massage is a wonderful compliment to your care during pregnancy. Massage during pregnancy can help with stress reduction, it can also help alleviate stress and tension on joints and other areas of pain or discomfort related to pregnancy. Massage can reduce swelling related to decreased blood flow in the body due to the increasing weight of the baby. If you have any concerns or have previously had pre-term labor, pregnancy induced high blood pressure or are in a high risk pregnancy, please consult you doctor before scheduling a massage session.
Today’s youth are bombarded with stress. From physically heavy backpacks and sports gear to technology and final exams. Massage therapy can reduce the tension that results from hours spent on laptops, cell phones, and even gaming devices. Sports injury is common and can be the result of an actual accident on the court or playing field or just from repetitive motion. Massage can help heal that injury so that it doesn’t carry on into adulthood. Your therapist will focus on the problem area using different modalities to get you back on track.
I have been seeing Tracy for years and will remain loyal for years to come! She works out my stress knots to the maximum, but never goes too far. Now my whole family sees her too! My skeptical father was hooked after his very first massage, and my mother, who is a nurse, said she was great and has wonderful bedside manner! My teenagers get help with athletic pains and heavy backpack strains. Whatever your age or issue, Tracy is your gal!!
Tracy has been a major influence in my healing. I’ve been dealing with neck pain for 12 years and since seeing Tracy 3 years ago, it has significantly improved! She works hard and listens to your feedback. Plus, she’s a wonderful person so it’s a win win! I highly recommend Tracy and Transitional Touch Healing Arts. 5 Stars!
Tracy is great. I do not know how she does it, but her magical fingers. seem to find those muscle “knots” which seem to cause pain. And, she really listens as to what areas of my back I want her to focus on. Quiet, nice place to get a massage!
I have had the pleasure of getting massages from Tracy for several years now. She is a lovely person and very good at making me feel at ease. She is good at working with injuries and I always leave feeling much better than I did when I arrived. I highly recommend Tracy Metivier for massage.
Tracy has been able to tailor my massages to meet any physical issues I might have on a particular week. She can modify the massage to meet your needs, Tracy is not only a very capable massage therapist, but is also a very caring and considerate person. I highly recommend her for your massages.
