Treatment Plans
At Whole Being Massage, we work with amateurs and professionals from all fields who want to help themselves get over certain hurdles that have been bothering them, either recently or chronically.
We will work closely with you and talk about the goals that you want to achieve, whether there is a certain nagging injury that has been bothering you, you want to improve your performance, or set a healthy foundation for a lifelong passion.

Athletes
Providing sports massage for athletes, both professional and amateur, in Boise, Idaho, is a passion of ours. We are dedicated to helping our clients figure out what might be contributing to their chronic injuries or pinpointing the cause of a new injury, and supporting them to get back to full health as quickly as possible. We also work with athletes to maintain their flexibility and resilience and help them recover from training more efficiently to prevent injuries and help them perform at their best.
Outdoor Enthusiasts
In today’s society, where people spend so much of their lives indoors, we believe getting fresh air and moving your body in nature is more important than ever. Connecting with nature and moving our bodies with focused breathwork will be the renaissance of healthy living for our and future generations.
Musicians & Creatives
For musicians, we assess your posture and playing technique and evaluate if there is anything that may be causing your injury. Likewise, if you work at a computer or play a sport, or do pottery, we can discuss your posture, ergonomics, and technique, and can evaluate through observation, if possible, any habits that may be contributing to discomfort or injury. We will then offer a treatment plan using myofascial release techniques, cupping, trigger point therapy, heat and ice therapy, isolated stretching, and deep tissue massage, with an emphasis on communication, to achieve your goals.
Athletes Treatment Plan
In my experience, recurring injuries can be prevented with the right support. When I work with an athlete, we first identify any past or current injuries and possible causes, discuss your training regimen and goals, and then determine a treatment plan. My treatment plans emphasize communication, proper breathing, ice and heat therapy, myofascial release techniques, trigger point therapy, deep tissue massage, and active isolated stretching, along with suggested home care.
I once worked with a rock climber who had broken his ankle about six months prior and I was impressed by how well-healed his ankle was with very little scar tissue and a good range of motion. After talking to him, I realized it wasn’t just massage therapy and physical therapy that had helped, it was his experience with past injuries. He knew his body and what it would take to get his ankle back to health and was diligent with ice/heat therapy, stretches, and strength exercises. My goal is to help all my clients develop this level of awareness, so they can feel they are working with their bodies in the healing process.
I am a sports fan and grew up playing competitive soccer. I currently enjoy working out at the gym or at home, kicking the soccer ball around, and cycling and hiking around the Treasure Valley. In 2017, I decided to go to massage school, in large part to focus on sports massage and working with athletes to treat and prevent injuries, so they can do what they love with less pain and more success.

Outdoor Enthusiasts Treatment Plan
I enjoy working with outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds – hikers, bicyclists, rock climbers, and anyone who uses their body for their recreation or profession. I can help those who want to maintain their fitness so they can climb that next mountain, hike that last mile, and explore the next horizon.
At your first session, we will discuss the ways you use your body, any past or present injuries, and your personal goals. I will then offer a treatment plan using myofascial release techniques, cupping, breathwork, trigger point therapy, heat and ice therapy, isolated stretching, and deep tissue massage, with an emphasis on communication, to achieve your goals.
I have been a massage therapist since 2019 and an outdoor enthusiast my whole life. I enjoy spending time in nature with my partner and kids, in and around Boise, ID, cycling, hiking, and camping. Currently, I am starting my training to be an instructor of the Wim Hoff Breathing Method, and I hope to bring this important modality into my practice in the near future.

My Philosophy
I have worked closely with Dustin Silva, the co-author of Anatomy of Guitar Playing. We have helped each other overcome bad habits through observation and discussing techniques and ergonomics. We have also spent many hours in conversation about the philosophy behind creating a healthy relationship with one’s passion. I truly believe that longevity for your passion comes through objectivity, reflection, mindfulness, and a focus on health.
