Heather Glenn Taylor, LMT
As a orthopedic PTA for over 17 years, Heather worked closely with orthopedic surgeons, chiropractors, sports medicine practitioners and family physicians.
Her specialty certifications include wound care/WCC, spinal care (cervical spine and SI joints in particular), vestibular care, Cupping, Kinesiotaping, and ASTYM (a tool assisted manual therapy technique for pain, scar tissue release, and improved healing of sprains and strains). She also has several certificates in Integrated Neuromuscular Facilitation/trigger point release.
Building upon her manual therapy skills, Heather transitioned to massage therapy in 2020, completing a 500 hour course. She blends her own essential oil scents for aromatherapy, and also uses a specific massage style that can be adapted from gentle and relaxing to very deep. This style resembles the ebb and flow of ocean waves, similar to lomilomi massage, and typically includes gentle stretching. Her massages also utilize the practice of entrainment to induce a meditative state during the massage. This has the potential to improve relaxation, decrease stress, promote better sleep and diminish pain.
Heather is trained in Swedish Massage, Neuromuscular Release and Sports Medicine Massage.
