About Us

What Specialty Massage CEU offers are hands-on classes that allow an immediate application of the technique, improving skills and solidifying understanding. The practical application in these classes will help to refine your touch and develop a better sense of the body mechanics. We will provide an engaging learning experience that has been designed for you to absorb the information easier, and enable you to use these new techniques in your massage practice. You will learn much more than from reading about a technique or watching a video.

Mary really took her time with me and addressed all my concerns. There were areas of my body that were holding onto pain that I was not even aware of but with her knowledge and background, she was able to use gentle pressure and release the tension in them. I really appreciated the way she explained what the massage would look like before entering the room (her techniques, how the muscles/tendons/ligaments work together and why there is pain). I left the session feeling more relaxed with a new plan of action, and more knowledge in how to care for my body. Maintenance massages are definitely a must to keep in my tool belt from now on to help keep my pain at bay. Great experience from the moment you walk in the door until the time you leave!

I have suffered with TMJ issues for years and years. In just 3 visits, Mary has completely changed my life. I am able to chew without pain and she has loosened the muscles for me to be able to be just about pain free. My jaw no longer clicks every time I open my mouth. She has a gift of healing and I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for TMJ or muscle relief!
