As a teenager, I was always playing sports and somehow always ended up in the Athletic Training room with one injury or another. This time led to my desire to be in the sports medicine field. After attending Western Carolina University's Athletic Training program, that dream slowly dissipated. I was still in love with the rehab, just not the injuries.
After a few years of "finding myself", I attended Wake Technical Community College. There, my passion for helping people was rekindled. My training through Wake Tech's Therapeutic Massage Program included over 500 hours of instruction in a wide variety of modalities as well as anatomy, physiology, psychology, kinesiology, and ethics. After graduating in 2011, I passed the Massage and Bodywork Licensing Exam (MBLEx).
After years of working in several spas in the Raleigh area, I finally realized my dream of opening my own business: New You- Therapeutic Massage. Here, I can use all of my modality skills to create a customized massage, just for you.

Deep tissue massage therapy is similar to Swedish massage, but the deeper pressure is beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension.
The focus is on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons and fascia (the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones and joints).
A study in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that people's blood pressure fell after a single 45 to 60 minute deep tissue massage.
Additionally, a 2010 meta-analysis in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry found that massage modalities like deep tissue reduce stress hormone levels and heart rate while boosting mood and relaxation by triggering the release of oxytocin and serotonin.

A trigger point is a tight area within muscle tissue that causes pain in other parts of the body.
A trigger point in the back, for example, may produce referral pain in the neck.
The neck, now acting as a satellite trigger point, may then cause pain in the head.
The pain may be sharp and intense or a dull ache.
Trigger point massage therapy is specifically designed to alleviate the source of the pain through cycles of isolated pressure and release.
In this type of massage for trigger point therapy, the recipient actively participates through deep breathing as well as identifying the exact location and intensity of the discomfort.

Massage therapy during pregnancy is a wonderful complementary choice for prenatal care.
It is a healthy way to reduce stress and promote overall wellness.
Massage relieves many of the normal discomforts experienced during pregnancy, such as backaches, stiff neck, leg cramps, headaches and edema (or swelling).
In addition, massage for pregnant women reduces stress on weight-bearing joints, encourages blood and lymph circulation, helps to relax nervous tension - which aids in better sleep - and can help relieve depression or anxiety caused by hormonal changes.
