Here is some more info on the newest member of our team…
Natalie received her BA with an entrepreneur/mgt major. Always being a “hands on” sort of spirit, she decided to attend massage therapy school. She was not positive that this would be the path for her, though she knew she really enjoyed a naturalistic approach to healing and making people feel better.
Natalie attended massage therapy school, first , in San Diego, CA. After 8 months, Natalie missed the East coast and came back and finished at Bancroft School of Massage Therapy in Worcester, MA. She did the accelerated program with studies consisting of acupressure, sports massage, myofascial release, trigger point work, and deep tissue. Her first event she did through school was the 2007 Boston marathon(the really cold and windy one). She really became interested in the deep work aspect of Massage, the honing in on specific tightness and releasing the pain(“knots”). Her first job out of school was at big spa in Providence, RI. while she enjoyed the spa atmosphere, she realized her skills were wasted on light touch. That’s when she made the move to Boston and has been working with a clinical approach to massage for 3 years. Her clientele consists of Cross-fitters, ultra-marathoners, tri-athletes, and everyday workers with repetitive use issues.
Some of her latest continuing education classes include Stretching techniques, deep tissue massage for problem areas, and Orthopedic assessment.
Natalie has always had a love for sports. Growing up in a household where her brother was on ice skates at two, and her dad working for a Professional Hockey team, it’s no wonder that she played field hockey. She also enjoys softball, golf and BOWLING!! Recently she has found herself entering into little races. Some of which she has completed was the 5k St. Paddy’s Day Somerville, a 5 miler in Jamaica Plains and the Harpoon 5 miler. She enjoys the challenge and gradually increasing mileage that she did her first half marathon last year.
When she is not working or enjoying the outdoors, she is taking in a Sox/Celtics game, or on the look out for upcoming concerts. Next, Natalie hopes to get training in Kiniesio Taping, pregnancy massage, and thai stretching.
