Hello, I am Theresa Viland, Massage Therapist/Bodyworker specializing in therapeutic and rehabilitative massage for acute and chronic muscular and fascial tension/dysfunction. Here you'll find a detailed description of my work. Please navigate the menu for scheduling, business hours, and location.

My techniques are generally focused and intentional. I listen to your symptoms and goals, and plan each individual session around this, whether that be honing in on an issue, or full body relaxation, or a mixture of goals. Your comfort level during your session is most important. I can use firm pressure if needed, but I also use very gentle and effective techniques to address deep tissues. I will adjust pressure and technique according to what I'm feeling in your tissues, but more importantly to your comfort level.
I will look out for your best interests, which may include referring you to another healthcare practitioner or therapist if necessary.
*Please inform me if you are sensitive to scents and I will make sure the room is as scent-free as possible before your session.
