Hi! I’m Erin. I’m a massage therapist, but I’m often accused of witchcraft.

Here’s why.

I attended the Dayton School of Medical Massage from 2015-2016, which included intensive training in postural assessment, gait assessment, muscle testing, critical thinking, and neuromuscular therapy techniques. From the very start of my bodywork career, I was taught to look at the body as the wildly complex puzzle of moving parts that interact and brace differently according to patterns of use, physical build, and underlying conditions.

Less than a year in the field I gained a reputation for mastering frozen shoulder treatments, and helping people manage complex pain issues and injury through medical massage techniques. I also became a Reiki Master.

If that makes you go, “huh??” you are not alone. Reiki is many things, but an evidence-based medical treatment protocol it is not.

I found that working based on medical assessments alone got good results. But integrating energy work got amazing results.
That’s why in 10 years and counting as a bodyworker, I draw from both spheres: the evidence-based inductive reasoning approach AND the intuitive holistic approach. Because the body heals best when all of its needs are met; even the energetic ones we can’t see.

(And yes, it feels a lot like magic.)

What you get from me isn’t “just massage.” It’s more like therapeutic problem-solving.

You come to me with problems, and we work together to solve them so you can get back to feeling good in your body.


The side effects are:

  • more energy

  • less stress

  • elevated and stabilized mood

  • relief from pain and injury

  • reset muscles to their optimal state

  • greater flexibility and range of motion

  • deeper connection to your intuition

"So...." You might ask,

"Are we going to do medical massage?" 
Yes! And as we work I will joyously explain to you as many fun facts and details about your physiological structures as you will allow me to share, because I am a gigantic science nerd.

"Are we going to do intuitive spiritual stuff?" 
Yes! But you honestly might not notice. I utilize energy work to clear the work space, hold boundaries, keep you grounded, and as a way to sense where work is needed.

"I just want to relax...can we do that?" 
Yes! Not everyday is a day for Fixing. Creating space to savor the present moment, to feel amazing in your skin, to enjoy each quiet breath of an uninterrupted phone-free hour is 100% my jam.
