Introduction: Introduction Hello there! I’m Vanessa, I'm really looking forward to learning more about you and how I can help you get rid of that nagging pain or tension that has been lingering, or maybe just showed up out of nowhere, although you are doing everything right. My History in the Massage Field: A graduate of National Holistic Institute, I have utilized my earned title of Massage Therapist and Health Educator in spas such as Massage Envy, but also medical environments, where I was mentored by reputable Drs of Chiropractic, Acupuncture, and Osteopathy, which solidified my desire to remain in the medical side of this field, where I can truly offer healing to those in need. My Therapeutic focus: Myofascial and Trigger Point Therapy Myofascial Therapy is a soft tissue therapy used to treat deep muscular tension, somatic dysfunction, and pain by relaxing the fascia (the fibrous bands around muscles, ligaments, and tendons). Trigger Point Therapy [Featured snippet from the web] A trigger point is a tight area within muscle tissue that causes pain in other parts of the body. A trigger point in the back, for example, may produce referral pain in the neck. ... Trigger point massage therapy is specifically designed to alleviate the source of the pain through cycles of isolated pressure and release. My Goal as Your Therapist: Sure, neuromuscular/sports therapy requires a deeper pressure than say, a swedish massage (spa massage), but with strong communication, it never is unbearable for my clients. I am a firm believer in the therapeutic effects of deep core-breathing, (based on scientific evidence) which I teach each one of my clients during session and guide them through because it is essential to relieving chronic tension. With this tool, they control the pressure they feel, and naturally subdue the body's pain reflex. For my clients with chronic low back pain: They have reported a significant difference in the intensity of the pain by incorporating these breathing techniques during treatment (with my coaching), and their incorporating into their daily routines, especially when the work stress sets in. I’m a cheerleader for my clients. I get excited when they report the bodywork, exercises, stretches, or mechanical adjustments I suggest, are working! Of course they do, but it takes consistency and a conscious awareness that we tend to My clients and I are a team. I hold them accountable for self-care in and out of session with me. I enjoy hearing my clients say, “I thought of you!”, or “I had you in the back of my mind at work and I did my stretches!” All said and received with gratitude. I love what I do and am happy to report a 100% success rate because this therapy WORKS! It’s a new year, rather a new decade. Time for a change, and it should start with focusing on how to improve your health and longevity. For your happiness, your family, and your career. I can help! I can’t wait to meet you and help you find the most physical freedom to take charge of your body and your pain!

I've known Vanessa for quite a few years now and I remember when she first started this business. I thought the idea was brilliant and I've watched it grow throughout the few sessions that we've had. If you don't know Vanessa, you need to. And if you haven't received massage therapy from someone who cares so deeply about the super important little things, then you've never really experienced a massage well done. A massage isn't just candles and lotion and New Age music. It's a connection. A trust of faith that your provider will be what you need. And I can't think of anyone better to help provide this type of service. I play disc golf; a sport that involves lots of twisty movement specifically to my lower back. I also have about 17 years of skateboarding under my belt, and getting to a point of comfort is nearly impossible. I'm sure you know where this is going. Even after just a quick 30 min session, my ENTIRE BACK has never felt better. Vanessa's attention to detail will guarantee satisfaction because she's the kind of person that only gives what she would want in return and naturally that's the "BEST." If you want a whatever massage, go wherever you want. But if you want the BEST, let her come to you! Does it get any better? Nope. I already told you, she's the best.

After one session with Vanessa, I realized that trigger point therapy encompasses more than I expected. I spend hours sitting at a desk hunched over a computer and have chronic muscle tension, knots, and stiffness. So I tried trigger point therapy and found Vanessa and Shawn very skilled at targeting the exact trigger points to release the knots and increase range of motion. I highly recommend Prime Bodyworks for longer lasting results than typical massage therapy!

I stand all day at my job.. so my body doesn't filter normally which is bad . The circulation is different as it pumps through from the foot back to the heart and shoulders to the brain. They were able to fix it by relaxing the muscle to make the veins circulate better . Great job highly recommended to people who stand all day for a living ..

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
DISCOUNTED, MONTHLY MEMBERSHIPS NOW AVAILABLE!! :) Ask me for details. There is a first time client intro rate of $70/hr or $100/90min. After initial session, price is $90/hr. Series massages/wellness programs are available in 3,6 or 12 treatment plans which are available at a discounted rate.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
To begin the session, I go over any notes from the intake paperwork regarding your areas of complaint then I do a full body assessment where I test your range of motion and stretch you to find inhibitions or over contracted muscles to devise a bodywork plan that will get to the root of the problem. Then multiple deep tissue massage techniques are applied in the target areas to induce blood flow, increase tissue mobility, and break up adheasions or scar tissue. This very specific and individual approach to massage therapy has much longer lasting effects that most of our clients feel and see just after one session.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I completed 900 hours of anatomy and hands-on training at National Holistic Institute in Santa Ana in Jan 2016 and have since worked for Spa Xanadu, Massage Envy, Muscle Works Chiropractic and Walnut Natural Health Center while building my own practice. I have really enjoyed learning about the dynamics of these different environments both clinical and spa, but prefer the more medical environment where I have more tools and resources to really help patients heal with progressive treatments that can be partnered with chiropractic or acupuncture for maximum healing benefit.
