Massage Therapy with Mary
Mary graduated from Oregon’s East West College of Healing Arts for Massage Therapy in 2021 and received a Bachelors of Exercise Science from The University of New Mexico in 2018. She is passionate about reaching patient goals by using a variety of techniques from Swedish, Deep Tissue, Neuromuscular and Therapeutic modalities paired with open effective communication during sessions.
With an understanding that each body and person is different, she works to tailor each session to the goals and needs of each patient and works with the patient to achieve desired outcomes. Doing so involves both active and passive movement from the patient during sessions while appropriately checking in for a collaborative treatment approach.
Medical Massage Therapy with Cal
Cal is a genderqueer European settler who has practiced as a bodyworker and movement educator since 2008.
They received their massage license from NM Academy of Healing Arts in 2013. Cal uses the framework of medical massage (goal and results oriented massage) and techniques from myofascial release, swedish massage, Russian sports massage, neural manipulation, neuro-muscular therapy, reflexology and trauma informed, healing - focused consent practices.
Their consistent study is focused on the release of the human form from social patterning through massage therapy and anatomy literacy. They operate under the core knowing that we are all in community together, and are better when we seek and receive trusted care with each other. You are the expert of your own body, it’s Cal’s work to learn and share tools to-when needed-facilitate ways for you to enjoy functionally moving within it.
Sessions involve a deep intake of questions and goal discussion with you, followed by collaborative, communicative table time.
Paths informing Cal’s practice:
Cal is informed mainly by the threads of questions coursing through them, by their evolving understanding of social power and systemic influences on our bodies, changes in their own embodiment, long distances of sports training, the desire for the body to balance, as well as the gifted connections and necessity of ongoing repair work as an occupier on Tiwa and Pueblo land.
Cal holds deep gratitude for the work they’ve received from multiple somatic practitioners, as well as the instructors, community organizers, and each person who has shared trust and session time.
