About Becca and BodyWorks Massage
My Philosophy
I know your jaw pain as well as your digestive and reproductive health journeys are long and complex. This kind of invisible pain can feel isolating, and I know you've seen every doctor out there. Let's talk about your journey and your goals, and we'll create a treatment plan together, which will empower you with skills to use at home. See if my styles of massage therapy are a good fit. Reach out today. We'll talk on the phone so I can answer all your questions before you even step into my office.
Not looking for this kind of work? No Problem! I am adept at working with pain management and range of motion issues. Just book a therapeutic session.

About Me
I have been a licensed massage therapist since 2005. I have specialized in Abdominal Therapy (a form of massage therapy) for a decade, and perinatal massage for my whole career. Massage is my second career, but it's where I'm meant to be. Recently, I added Buccal massage, manual lymphatic drainage, and health coaching to my resume, as well as getting my Master's in Education (concentration in Adult Education). These additions allow me to serve my clients in additional ways, as well as allow me to better teach continuing education to other massage therapists.

I offer classes in the StrongHouse studio, or I can come to you. Whether at your workplace, clinic, school, or event space, I am ready to deliver top-quality training. I understand that a solid foundation in massage therapy continuing education is essential for building a successful practice. From deepening your skills to fulfilling licensing renewal requirements, I can help you enhance your practice.
Introduction to Pelvic Bowl Pain and Disorders for the Massage Therapist

We will discuss abdominopelvic pain, the bio-psycho-social model of care, the importance of medical history intake, and what the research says about addressing abdominopelvic issues through abdominal massage. A review of abdominopelvic structures and anatomy is included.
Addressing Pelvic Bowl Pain and Disorders
This 3- or 4-hour, hands-on course identifies common bony landmarks and provides an introductory abdominal massage. Many massage therapists are either untrained in abdominal massage, uncomfortable with abdominal massage, or both. This class will help you overcome those challenges and show you how to apply techniques you already know to the unique area of the body that is the abdomen as well as the hips. This class can include an anatomy review and will include a medical history exercise. *This class can be taught in combination with the Intro class, to make an 8-hour day.*
