Colorado Certified Massage Therapist Since 2011

Angela gained her 700 Hour Massage Certification through the Colorado School for Healing Arts from 2010 - 2011 where she learned the bodywork arts of:

  • Swedish Massage - A gentle, flowing and soothing form of massage therapy that invites a therapeutic relaxing and stress relieving state of mind and body.

  • Deep Tissue Massage - Massage using long, deep, and slow strokes intending to gain access to the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Useful for creating change in chronically bound-up muscle tissue.

  • Neuromuscular Massage - A deep and specific form of massage that often involves reorganizing adhesions (scar tissue) and trigger points so that normal structure and function can resume.

  • Sports Massage - Used to enhance athletic performance, improve recovery, but is not only meant for professional athletes. Many therapists blend stretching and manual muscle manipulation to achieve the goal of optimal performance.

  • Prenatal Massage - Prenatal massage focuses on addressing the special needs of expecting women and their baby. Specially-designed massage tables, cushions, and side-lying postures are used to keep both Mom and Baby safe and comfortable.

Massage Cupping Techniques since 2019

Angela began studying Massage Cupping Techniques in 2019. Using an assortment of glass and plastic cups, she applies vacuum pressure to muscle and connective tissue layers. This invites an increase in circulation of blood and lymph and allows for significant change to muscle tissue texture. The result is increased mobility and decreased pain. It is excellent for reducing the visibility and restrictions of scar tissue.

  • Lymphatic Drainage Cupping - A relaxing full body treatment designed to encourage movement and drainage of lymphatic fluid.

  • Facial Cupping - A relaxing treatment of the face designed to increase circulation and strengthen skin. This result is less visibility of fine lines and wrinkles and a better complexion. Care is taken to use minimal lift so that no marks are left behind.

  • Breast Cupping - From top surgery to menstrual cycles, there are many situations that create less than ideal feeling breast and chest tissue. Using cups to increase circulation, reorganize and change painful scar tissue, as well as to move stagnant lymph breast cupping can be very helpful.
