Massage Therapy Services in Port Angeles, WA

Professional Massage Therapy Centered on You

Jennifer believes massage is most effective as a personalized experience rather than a standard routine applied to every client.

You may prefer gentle, flowing massage techniques or more focused work. You might want a full-body session or extra attention given to specific areas. Your preferences may also change depending on how you feel on the day of your appointment.

Jennifer listens and adapts her approach accordingly.

She graduated from the Port Townsend School of Massage in 2014 and has continued her education with advanced training in Intra-Oral Massage and Myofascial Release. Before entering the massage profession, Jennifer spent nearly a decade working as a dental assistant, a background that is particularly relevant to her specialty Intra-Oral Massage work.

Intra-Oral Massage is a specialty service focused on the muscles and fascia associated with the jaw and surrounding areas.

Clients experiencing TMJ-related jaw tension, clenching, grinding, clicking, or discomfort may consider this focused massage approach.

Treatment can include massage outside the mouth around related areas as well as specialized work performed inside the mouth. Jennifer always uses gloves during intra-oral techniques and prioritizes communication throughout the session.

Her previous dental-assisting experience and advanced Intra-Oral Massage training provide a distinctive background for this service.

If relaxation is your priority, Swedish Massage offers a soothing body massage using smooth, flowing techniques.

A session may include long gliding strokes, circular palm pressure, gentle kneading, and other traditional techniques. Lotion can be used to create smooth movement across the skin.

Jennifer adapts pressure and areas of focus according to your preferences, making Swedish Massage an approachable option for both new and experienced massage clients.

Myofascial Release focuses on fascia, the connective tissue found throughout the body.

This approach is different from a traditional lotion-based massage. It generally uses sustained pressure and is performed without lotions or creams, allowing Jennifer to maintain direct contact with the tissue.

Jennifer has pursued advanced education in Myofascial Release, including training influenced by the John Barnes approach.

Clients interested in a slower, focused approach to massage may want to learn more about this service.

Deep Tissue Massage uses deliberate, focused techniques to work with deeper layers of muscle and fascia.

It may be a good option when you want more focused attention given to areas of muscular tension. However, deep tissue work does not have to mean using maximum pressure.

Jennifer encourages communication about intensity and adjusts the session according to your comfort. Your massage can focus on selected areas or incorporate deeper techniques into a broader session.
