Massage Therapy

First-time clients will begin with a brief intake consultation, typically 20–30 minutes, during which Madylan will review your health history and discuss your goals for massage therapy. This is followed by a full one-hour Integrative Therapeutic Massage.

Integrative Therapeutic Massage draws from a wide range of modalities to deliver the most effective, personalized treatment possible. Rather than following a single technique, Madylan blends her extensive training across multiple disciplines to meet the unique needs of each client and maximize therapeutic benefit in every session.

Lymphatic massage is a gentle, rhythmic therapy designed to stimulate the body's lymphatic system, supporting the natural drainage of lymph fluid and promoting detoxification. This work strengthens immune function, reduces inflammation and swelling, and encourages the body's innate ability to heal. It is particularly beneficial for clients recovering from illness, injury, or surgery, as well as those experiencing chronic fatigue, inflammation, or compromised immune function.

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, light-touch healing modality that works by releasing fascial tension in the connective tissue surrounding the brain and spinal cord, facilitating the natural flow of cerebrospinal fluid and supporting optimal function of the central nervous system.

This therapy is particularly beneficial for recovery from head injuries, high-impact trauma such as motor vehicle accidents, neurological conditions, and the lasting effects of emotional or physical trauma. Because craniosacral therapy directly supports brain and nervous system function, its benefits extend to every system in the body, making it a valuable therapy for a remarkably wide range of clients and conditions.

Dealing with chronic pain, limited range of motion, or scar tissue and adhesions and struggling to find lasting relief? Myofascial therapy may be the answer.

This specialized approach targets tension and dysfunction in the muscles and connective tissue, improving function across multiple body systems. Techniques may include therapeutic stretching, scar tissue mobilization, positional release, trigger point therapy, and fascial tension release holds, all tailored to your specific needs and goals.

Trigger point therapy uses focused, deep pressure on specific points within the muscles and fascia to release tension, alleviate pain, and restore healthy tissue function. To prepare the body for deeper work, Madylan incorporates warming lotions and hot wet compresses to gently warm the muscles and may also incorporate hot stones when appropriate.

These focused sessions center on therapeutic hand and foot massage and/or reflexology, offering targeted relief for the often overworked and overlooked extremities. Foot reflexology incorporates specialized hot stone tools to enhance the treatment experience and deepen therapeutic benefit.

This service is particularly effective for clients dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis, and general tension or overuse in the wrists, hands, feet, and ankles.

We are mind, body, and spirit. These dimensions of our being are inseparable. True healing honors all three.

Madylan is trained in multiple forms of energy healing and has been initiated to Reiki II, from which she has developed her own intuitive and integrative style of energy work. Sessions are deeply personalized, drawing on her diverse training and lived experience to meet each client where they are.

If you are seeking powerful, transformative shifts in your body, your mind, your emotional landscape, or your spirit, this work is for you.

A relaxing massage for expecting mothers. Recommended after first trimester is complete.

This 60-minute massage will leave you feeling relaxed, renewed, and satisfied on a number of levels. A portion of the cost of the massage allows a trauma survivor to come in and experience the same 60-minutes of peace and self-care during a massage. Thank you to Every Women's Place for their coordination of this service and overall support of survivors of assault, trafficking and abuse.

For survivors, massage has many benefits, including but not limited to:
• relieving pain and restoring function from injuries
• relieving stress and tension
• renewed energy and mental clarity where survivors often experience fog and fatigue
• return to a state of "rest and digest" (parasympathetic nervous system) where survivors are chronically stuck in "fight or flight" (sympathetic nervous system)
• relief from insomnia, muscle spasms, headache, high blood pressure, inflammation, lymph congestion, muscle/nerve/and joint pain

If you would prefer to donate a massage and not receive one yourself, please purchase a gift card and send us an email at lauren@earthrootacupuncture.com and we’ll take care of the rest.
