Nicole Ball
Owner / Licensed Massage Practitioner Clinical
I specialize in deep tissue and sports massage. I hold a LMPC which is a special credential showing I have ongoing additional education in clinical massage. I have also studied many relaxation techniques such as Aromatherapy, Hot Stone, Body Wraps and Swedish Massage. My goal is to individualize every massage to what the client needs. My area of expertise is treating sports injuries, chronic pain, motor vehicle accident, and on the job injuries (L&I). Other more specific injuries I also care for include but are not limited to rotator cuff injuries, whiplash, carpel tunnel syndrome, piriformis syndrome, plantar fasciitis, IT band contracture and chronic low back pain.
Gloria Burkenbine
Licensed Massage Practitioner
I’m a graduate of Ashmead College (2007) with training in Swedish relaxation, deep tissue, sports, and pregnancy massage. I specialize in headache, back shoulder and neck, motor vehicle accidents and treatment/insurance. I’ve experience working with cancer, fibromyalgia, arthritis, plantar faciitis, and chronic migraine patients. My goal is to work closely with my clients to improve their over-all health and well-being. I’m a firm believer that massage does not have to hurt to be effective.
Amy Britsas

I am a graduate of Ashmead College Seattle 2002; here I gained a strong foundation in anatomy & physiology, kinesiology, massage theory & practice. I am trained in Swedish, deep tissue, injury treatment, hot stone, and sports massage.

My specialty is a customized treatment tailored to fit your needs. I believe those needs may be different for each person’s body and may change from day to day. I utilize many tools during your session to help you meet your therapy goals; myofascial release, deep tissue, trigger point, Passive Positional Release , Pin & Stretch, reflexology, and Thai foot massage, just to name a few!
