1. Randomness, coupled with a strong sense of personal integrity that commands me to keep my word and arrive early for most appointments.
2. Weird posts that actually teach something and give great and wise insight… that is, if you can decipher it.
3. Improved writing skills with time. For now, god help me.

According to 1000+ telephone surveys by Colorado-based Harstad Strategic Research in January (released by Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals (ABMP).) Massage therapy is continuing on a twenty year trend-
* Over 33.6 million adults in America received at least one massage in 2006 (up 9 million from 2004)
* The three primary reasons people seek massages are very basic- relaxation and stress reduction, relief of pain and soreness, or as a simple gift.
* People *love* massage: ninety-four percent express favorable feelings about massage experiences, with 69 percent express very favorable feelings.
If you ask the average person what massage is, they usually reply that it is simply rubbing a few muscles or relaxing a sore back. While basic massage includes those elements, real massage goes many steps deeper. It takes your mind, your spirit, your heart, and your body and puts it in one place. A place of balance.
Massage is a very broad scope of personal treatment. Whether or not you have something seriously wrong, there are hundreds of things massage can help with:
* allergies
* anxiety
* arthritis
* asthma & bronchitis
* carpal tunnel syndrome
* chronic & temporary pain
* circulatory problems
* depression
* digestive disorders
* headache, especially due to tension
* insomnia
* myofascial pain (where the muscles connect)
* reduced range of motion
* sinusitis
* sports injuries
* stress
* TMJ (noise and/or pain in the jaw joint)
Those issues only cover a small range of physical ailments.
Emotionally and spiritually massage can help bring real balance to your life. If you realize that you spend more than eighty hours a week pulling your body off-kilter, it doesn’t take rocket science to figure out that taking an hour every other week to put your body back into balance can be a great way to keep your life in top working condition. A good mental outlook begins with a healthy physical foundation, and when our lives are properly maintained our entire outlook becomes a positive one.
As more people discover the benefits and joy of massage, we find ourselves realizing how powerful human touch can be. Ten years ago massage seemed like an indulgence to many people, yet new research reveals that massage keeps us in a healthy and happy living condition. Massage is not a luxury. Massage is a way of keeping your life in balance; a very simple, enjoyable, and positive method to keeping your entire experience a happy and healthy one.

Her practice is aimed at providing an invigorating experience with equal parts spiritual, emotional, and life-style balancing applied through human touch and personal expression.

From Eric Koszyk. Wow! What can I say? Sierra is a truly gifted person and therapist. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about massage. It helps that she is extremely intuitive and a very caring human being. Her space on Broadway is very warm, comforting and inviting.
As a fellow massage therapist, I highly recommend her, especially if you are looking for extensive deep tissue work which she is amazing at. You will leave her place wiser; her treatments will change your life. 
From Joe Shirley I still remember the first massage I got from Sierra over six months ago. My neck was chronically bugging me, and my carpal tunnel thing was acting up. She asked my permission to go for it. I said yes. It hurt. She told me to trust her, and I did. And both my neck and wrist felt great afterwards. She went right through that crap and out the other side. Amazing.
From Matt Hanson Sierra is fantastic! I felt she was really attentive to the needs I expressed about my upper-back and shoulders. I was really impressed that she could identify other problems spots quickly and how they positively affected those areas that were bothering me most. I have had several massages and she has the strength and understanding to do a incredible job.
From Dennis Dilday I’ve had close to a hundred massages from more than a dozen different therapists and I can say Sierra’s are unique and wonderful. She relates and interacts with the layers of facia in a way others can’t. While determined to get a response from the tissues, Sierra is also tuned into her patient and keeps the experience pleasant and interesting. Clinically, she’s both confident and competent.
I believe you are the authority of your own body. So when you come to my office, I meet you as you are. It’s a busy world, and staying on top means we must first take care of our bodies.
