About Ellen
I spent many years working in a chair in a software job. I know the dangers of sitting and living with work stress and life stress. Now I work to relieve pain and stress for my clients. I have a special place in my heart for knowledge workers, those of us who sit in front of (mostly) a computer all day long, using our minds while neglecting our bodies. I also like to work with anyone that is getting older… as we get older, we start to feel aches and pains, stiffness and soreness that we have not felt before. Massage can help keep that to a minimum! And I’ve seen enough evidence to know now that regular massage keeps us younger… my 90+ year old mother gets massages weekly and she is in amazing health!
After over 20 years at a desk, I went to school to learn about bodies and how they work… which, by the way, is still a mystery in so many ways. I have earned my California Massage Therapist License (#53469, for those who care) and now I am a Certified Massage Therapist (CMT), professionally trained with over 700 hours of instruction at the California Holistic Institute in San Luis Obispo, Upledger Institute and other providers. I am certified through the California Massage Therapy Council and a member of Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals (ABMP).
As I see it, every hour spent on the table is a moment in time where healing can occur and the experience of peace can be expanded. I figure I’m promoting world peace, one hour at a time.
About Everyone Else
I have begun sharing my office with other trained massage therapists, allowing Plus Massage to provide more healing to more people. I’m proud to be able to offer this important service for healing, relaxation, relief and blessings to my clients and to our community. As an older woman, I can no longer deliver some of the deep tissue and other massage therapies that our clients require and deserve. For that reason, what started out as a one-woman show is now a multi-therapist extravaganza!
Any massage therapist who works with me has been tested and trained to massage in the spirit of love and healing. When you make an appointment with us, we will ask what kind of massage you are looking for, and we will pair you with the most appropriate massage therapist. Maria, Jessica, Vernon, Arwen and Gina are all excellent massage therapists with varying skills… you will be happy with your massage or we will refund you half your money!
