About Massage
Massage therapy is an opportunity for the client and practitioner to connect through energies and touch. Connecting with the therapist is almost as important as the techniques they use, and finding just the right combination of personality and effectiveness can be a challenge. From the moment you walk in, I hope to offer a safe, welcoming environment for you to feel comfortable enough to enter into a deeply relaxed state. It is then that your body is at it’s optimal point for healing and I can begin my work as a therapist using techniques and training I have learned through my education and experience.
All the massages offered begin with a consultation of your needs for that day, where you my be hurting or how you are feeling emotionally. I will take the time to answer all your questions or concerns and make sure you feel heard. After I leave the room you will undress to your level of comfortability, and once you are on the table you will be greeted with the coziness of the BioMat and exceptionally soft sheets from Comphy. When you are all settled I will return to the room and begin the massage. I want to make sure you know that while you are on the table you are in control, so let me know if there is anything I (or any therapist you choose) can do to make your experience better! The music, the lights, the temperature or pressure are all adjustable, and I’m always willing to answer questions but it’s up to you if you would like to talk or just enjoy the quiet. The products I use on your skin are organic and therapeutic grade. I limit the use of aromatherapy to your preference and have no harsh fragrances. I have three options available for session times, 30, 60, and 90 minutes, read more below for which one is right for you!
-
The 30 minute option is a spot treatment for sore, problem areas that need attention in the acute phase. It is preferrable to book this as an existing client.
The one hour session is a great introductory appointment that allows for an evaluation of the whole body and addressing the immediate needs.
90 minutes is the best of both worlds! Deep relaxation for you and allowing me the time to work on the specific areas that cause you trouble and irritation as well as all the feel-good places like scalp, hands and feet!

The BioMat is a 510k medical device that combines the deeply penetrating infrared rays with amethyst and tourmaline crystals which supply our cells with the negative ions required for increased energy and optimal health, while the far-infrared increases circulation and promotes detoxification through the lymphatic system.
Learn more here about why you need negative ions and where you can find them in the world God created.

I am currently using Sacred Earth Botanicals as my base product, you can find a list of the ingredients here. Aromatherapy is a powerful way to enhance your massage and relaxation, I may choose to use different essential oils throughout your massage.
*It is vital that you share with me any concerns of allergies or sensitivities you might have and if you prefer to not use essential oils.
Hi! I’m Terra,
After graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Sport Science from the University of Wyoming I attended Heritage College gaining 1200 hours of training and an Associate’s Degree in Massage Therapy.
With the blessing of an amazing mentor, the beginning of my career in Oklahoma City was built upon the referrals of an orthopedic surgeon. People like to do crazy things on the weekend and I was there to fix’em up come Monday! I continued my education with Sports and Orthopedic injury classes from Boulder College of Massage Therapy and after 13 years had a wonderful clientele of people I had the privilege of helping!
When I moved to Lake Tahoe and and began working at an exclusive resort I recognized the opportunity to mesh that deep-tissue, no pain no gain attitude of therapy with the peaceful, calming and healing environment of a spa.
Although I have always tried to work with the body and let it be my guide by listening to it’s response through my fingers, the last 10 years of my career has brought me to a deeper understanding of how important it is to first get the body in a place that will accept the work I do and be ready for healing. I work as hard on your comfort and feeling of safety on the table as I do the techniques applied to your tissues.
I have continued my education in recent years with Craniosacral Therapy from Upledger Institute and Frequency Specific Microcurrent with Dr. Carolyn McMakin. Both are powerful approaches to healing.

BioMat
The BioMat is the #1 infrared mat on the market. Approved by the FDA as a Class II Medical device, it is based on scientific research and NASA technology while utilizing amethyst and tourmaiine crystals to activate negative ions allowing our body’s natural ability to heal. Due to the nature of how infrared works it is important to be very hydrated before you come to your appointment. Please start the day before by drinking at least 40 ounces of water and try to get 60 ounces through out the day of your appointment.

FSM
Frequency Specific Microcurrent is produced by a machine with electrodes similar in appearance to a TENS unit you may be familiar with from the chiropractor or physical therapist. FSM utilizes tiny electrical currents that mimic your own nervous system to target specific tissues helping to reduce pain and inflammation as well as speed up recovery of injury.

Through the years
My journey over the past 20 years, has taken me to different parts of the world and in every place I have added pieces of knowledge and appreciation for massage therapy. People in each of those places have allowed me to learn, from operating rooms to beachfronts, there is always something to gain. By the grace of Jesus, He has blessed me with skills to offer you a specialized approach to the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey of health as we find out what more there is to learn!
