Our Therapists & Staff

Choosing A Therapist

Eagles Nest Massage Therapy has both female and male therapists. All therapists have their own personal areas of training and expertise. We encourage you to try a number of therapists to find the one that you feel most relaxed with and provides you the style you enjoy. Some clients choose to make their appointments with the same therapist for all of their visits, while others choose to make appointments with a variety of therapists. We encourage you to do that which fits you personally. Please refer to the therapists menu below for more information on what styles each individual therapist offers.

What I enjoy most about bodywork:  I enjoy being able to help people feel good/better thru massage therapy. Whether that means reducing day to day stress and tension, or chronic pain, I just want to improve my clients overall quality of life.

My clients often come away from a session feeling relaxed, yet energized!

We have a feisty, yet adorably lovable grey tabby cat name Molly, who we affectionately call “Maul”. I’m a very open and personable guy, and I try to live my life to the fullest, and as authentically as possible!
