Mind+Body Massage by Trenton

Ooooooh wee!

I have been a grateful client of Chip since the ‘end’ of covid. I am a teacher and was not mentally prepared for the return to the classroom, and all of the stressors that were (are) part of our efforts to ‘catch up’. By the end of the week I was sore, grumpy and exhausted. A co-worker referred me to Chip after watching me try to stretch out my aching muscles in the lunchroom. I wasn’t sore from exercise, my neck, shoulder, leg and back muscles were tight, and tense from stress. He suggested that I book an appointment for a consultation and massage. I reached out to Chip and discovered that he offered a variety of care services including fitness training, nutritional planning, stretch therapy, yoga with meditation, and massage therapy.

He was friendly, easy to talk to, and knowledgeable. I booked a consultation and when he came to my home he gave me a care assessment, asked about my fitness and health goals, eating,sleeping, and exercise habits and water in-take. In real time he proposed some changes to my diet, sleeping and eating patterns, and suggested some morning stretch & deep breathing routine to make my daily activities easier and seamless. I chose a combination package that included a weekly massage, a stretching routine to practice daily, and invitations to his semi-weekly group hikes, fitness zooms, and health tips through his social media account.

Whether in my home or at his studio, each week my body and mind looks forward to the cultivated respite. The soothing sounds and gentle scents of lavender and eucalyptus combined with the guided, rhythmic strokes relax my sore muscles, and calm my mind. It is so soothing. Finding all of the tense spots, his strong hands knead and restore my muscles, pushing just firmly enough to keep me from falling completely asleep, but deep enough to coax every area into satiated compliance. It is one of the best hours of my week, and has become a routine component of my self care.

Chip is an outstanding therapist, he is experienced, and adept at sensing changes in my body composition and making adjustments. He is punctual, flexible with scheduling and willing to accommodate almost any day or time. Except Sunday at 11. That is my appointment.
