Welcome!
Out of so many massage therapists out there, you might wonder why should I come to Altered States?
You deserve an answer.
In fact, here are 13 answers...
1. Your massage will be effective. Many of my regular clients have been with me for years – some as long as 13 years. They stay because it works.
2. I am also a certified medical exercise specialist. This means that I have had advanced training in functional anatomy, and I can offer you home based exercise or stretching routines designed specifically for you.
3. Your massage will be on time. Typically, I open the door 5 mins before your appointment time, at the latest, on time.
4. The office is beautiful, relaxing and professional. You will love the atmosphere that supports relaxation, and LOVE the heated table in the winter, air conditioning in the summer and perfect thermostat control of the room temp all year round.
5. The pressure will be varied to your needs. I have clients
who are fragile elders and clients who are competitive body builders.
The pressure is up to you and I will listen to you.
Sounds great! Let me book an appointment!
6. I work with my clients, not on them. You will discover that I do not treat you like a specialist in a white coat rendering you passive. I will work with your body, and empower you to be active in your therapeutic goals.
7. I’m not “married” to one technique. I enjoy learning various complementary techniques that I can draw from like using tools from a tool belt specifically for YOU.
8. I continue to learn. I
take advanced courses in deep tissue and sports massage and continue to
expand my ‘tools’ in my ‘tool belt’ for your best massage.
9.Have you ever had a therapist working for you outside of your appointment time?
I
research constantly for up to date information on health, nutrition, fitness and massage in order to bring the relevant information to my
clients.
I need to get on your table, Cynthia. How can I do that?
10. I listen. You are my focus, I listen to your feedback and act on it.
11. I love my work. I
need to take the occasional holiday, but when I come back, I am glad to
be back. (Really, it’s true! I look forward to Mondays!)
12. You can contact me in between appointments regarding
your pain or condition or any questions you might have about exercises
I’ve given you, and I will take the time to work with your questions at
no extra charge.
13. is for 13 years of experience!
Allright already! Get me to the contact page!

Some ask "Why "Altered States of Science?"
We are 'ALTERED STATES' because massage can take you into a time and space where the body is relaxed and the mind is quiet. This is a non drug-induced altered state of consciousness. There is increasing evidence that taking the time to enter into this state of relaxed consciousness promotes health and well-being.
We are 'OF SCIENCE' because at Altered States we have studied and apply the disciplines of anatomy, physiology, kinesiology and medical exercise to strengthen our clients' recovery, general health, or athletic performance.
We 'ALTER THE STATE OF SCIENCE' because we are not specialists in white coats performing medical procedures rendering you passive. As an Alternative Health Care Practice, Altered States will work with you and empower you to be active in your therapeutic goals.
