She is able to give a strong or gentle pressured massage when requested, she also checks in with client as the session progresses. With this understanding, each of her sessions is customized to meet your specific needs by using the modalities which will best serve in achieving your desired outcome.
She first began her studies at the University of New Mexico in Psychology and graduated in 2005. As she was seeking her own healing, she was guided to follow her dream of becoming a Massage Therapist where she could incorporate her listening skills with body work. For many years she wanted to follow the path of her great-grandfather who was a Curandero (healer from Mexico). In 2010, she began her bodywork journey at Crystal Mountain Massage School in New Mexico. As she was giving deep tissue and neuromuscular therapy, many clients shared their emotional stressors. So, she then began studying Craniosacral Unwinding Therapy which helps support the emotional and physical parts of us, along with holding space for client’s innate healing process. This is how her integrative therapies began, it is a fusion of Neuromuscular Therapy, Deep Tissue Massage and Craniosacral Unwinding.
January is dedicated to her craft and to her clients physical and mental well being. She specializes in neck, back, knee, hip, shoulder, migraine/headache relief, along with stress reduction, and ease of chronic pain.
Her intention is that you walk away from every session with a sense of relief in your body, ease in your heart, lighter in your spirit and an overall sense of vitality and well-being.
“January is one of the absolute best massage therapists I have ever experienced in my life, and I have been getting regular massages for over 20 years. She’s a truly gifted healer who’s technique is not only amazing but astonishingly intuitive. January has a deep and innate knowledge of the body, both physically and energetically. I have Lyme disease and fibromyalgia and was looking for someone who can massage deeply in the right areas and gentler in others, and the moment January first began treating me, I knew she was the one. Her massages are absolutely divine! An absolute “must” massage experience.” -M.M.
