Massage Therapist: Andrea Bastin
After a decade as a chemist, I am excited to now be a Licensed Massage Therapist. I am not leaving behind my love of science, but rather bringing it with me to benefit the human body of individual people. My change in career has been a tremendous privilege, as I have had the opportunity to help provide relief from physical discomfort and anxiety of expectant mothers, to help keep athletes moving along after an injury or strain, and even to comfort and alleviate some of the pain of a close relative during cancer treatments.
I am committed to provide individualized care according to your goals and needs, and to continually educate myself so that I may benefit you, the unique individual, whether you are
-An expectant mother
-Dealing with the strains of daily work
-Recovering from injury or illness
-An athlete
-A senior who wants some well-earned relaxation and increased mobility
-Or some combination of these qualities and more.
I am glad to be a new member of your wellness team!
