Hi there, I am Stacey and here is my own story...

Heading

Let's get to know each other...

I love life! And yes, this is me trying on hats while on vacation in Mexico! My philosophy is, if it isn't fun, I don't need to do it.

Learning wasn't easy for me and I dropped out of college after 2 years. I worked as a secretary then promoted to administrative assistant for the computer department of an international corporation, then assistant to a national bank VP during a time when everyone was converting to something called Electronic Funds Transfer. I was deeply involved with that until I married and began a family in 1986. Computers turned out to be something I was good with and when my children were ready for pre-school, I took a part time job so we could afford to send them to pre-school and give them summer camp experiences.

I WANTED SOMETHING MORE

I wanted a career I could be passionate about and dedicate my whole being into. Being a part time bookkeeper with “mother’s hours” was boring and offered no growth. A friend who had recently graduated from massage school practiced her skills on me and, despite my misgivings about being a "good student", I was convinced to sign up for the full 500-hour experience. At that time only 300 hours was required for licensure in my state. If you know me, if I'm in for a penny, I'm in for a pound!

As an introverted person, I learned I am empathetic (also called empathic) and I could feel other people’s emotions. What I wasn’t sure I would ever be able to feel were the muscles beneath the skin! I had little confidence in the beginning.

MY SPECIAL SAUCE

I immediately learned that “deep tissue”, the thing we seemed to concentrate on the most because that’s what client’s would ask for, was deeply misunderstood and something I did not like to receive. Along with my emotions, my body is much too sensitive for that kind of bodywork. Before I even graduated from school, I got involved in Texas politics regarding massage therapy. Through my connections, I met a teacher who did gentle bodywork to relieve pain and I studied with him for many years.

That work became my “special sauce. Clients with pain started referring me to their friends and my massage therapy business steadily grew from there.

More about me

Let's see if we should work together.

Did you recover from injury or surgery and yet you didn't get back your full Range of Motion?
Have you been seeing chiropractors and or other doctors for months or years and have little improvement?
Do you wake up stiff and sore every day?
Does something consistently hurt while you are working at your job?

Do you have a "ghost pain" that no one can explain but it feels better if you move in a certain way?
Is there something physical you have lost the ability to do?
Are you hunched over a desk or on your feet all day?
Do you need natural pain relief and muscle tension relieving endorphins to enhance your life?
