Susan
License #MA00003538
Susan specializes in craniosacral therapy. Her early studies and practice in bodywork were on the subject of Osteopathy. This was before the current laws regarding requirements for a Massage Therapy License. Now she is a Licensed Massage Therapist, but she continues to practice Osteopathic styles of bodywork.
In her bodywork, she particularly addresses the fascia, which is the fabric of the body. Fascia holds the muscles, bones, organs and other systems of the body in place and separate from one another. By addressing the fascia, misalignments and painful conditions can be alleviated.
The goal of Susan's work is to support you in your healing journey.
David
License #MA00022671
David combines a variety of techniques including Somatic Experiencing (SE) to help deal with unresolved physical anxiety, trauma and PTSD in the body. David's massage specifically addresses conditions such as injuries, pain, tension, migraine headaches and stress.
David has observed that by working slowly, at the pace of his client's nervous system, he can achieve significantly better results while avoiding unnecessary discomfort during and after the session. Including the use of Somatic Experiencing in the massage can help free the stuck energy that keeps the muscles tight. David's clients often feel their tension ease as their muscles soften during their massage.
A graduate of Brian Utting School of Massage, David is also certified in Biomechanical Craniosacral and Somatic Experiencing.

Our Reflexologist

Yuko
"When I experienced breast cancer 3 years ago, I realized how important health is to our lives.
"At that moment I developed a strong interest in reflexology because I thought health was about more than just the physical body. Reflexology supports physical health as well as mental health. It reduces anxiety and enhances a positive mind. The more I studied, the more I was fascinated by reflexology. After I became a National Board Certified Reflexologist, I decided to leave my 15 year career as a preschool teacher and dive into a new world as a therapist.
"People enjoy the therapeutic experience of relaxing to my gentle therapeutic touch. I have a unique combination of intentional Acupressure Reflexology."

What Our Clients Say
The therapists at Harmony Massage are particularly good at asking questions that really get to the heart of what hurts and then designing a massage to target those areas. They are proactive with ice or heat, and stretches. I have been a regular H.M. client for more than 10 years. I have seen a number of therapists over that time. I have seldom been disappointed with the quality of care that I’ve received. On the few occasions that I have asked to make a change, it’s been done quickly, professionally and always with a follow-up to make sure that my concerns have been addressed. Massage has been a regular part of my life for more than 10 years. It helps me deal with stress, head off the aches and pains associated with aging and, in general, makes me feel happier and healthier.
