704 W. SHARON AVENEUE, Houghton, MI, 49931
Born and raised in the Houghton/Hancock area, I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Exercise Science at Trine University before moving back home to the UP to attend Five Elements Integrative Therapy Academy, graduating in June 2024. There are many plans for continued education and deepening my knowledge in specific areas, but for now I'm happy to see whoever walks through the door as another step in your journey to wellness, whatever that may mean for you. My technique is a combination of Sports, Swedish, and Deep tissue massage A few of my favorite techniques include Sports/Athletic, Prenatal, Infant, Hot Stones, Swedish, Cupping, and Deep Tissue massage. We have created a schedule that allows flexibility for those who may not be available during the week day as well as those with unlimited time!
Massage Therapy
Massage oil or cream is used with smooth, gliding strokes. Swedish massage uses firm but gentle pressure to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension and create other health benefits. It is a classic massage that will ease your stress and allow you to slip into a calm state of relaxation. Complimentary Hot Stones.

Kinesiology
Sonora is a Certified Kinesiology Taping Practitioner. Kinesio Taping has been proven to have positive physiological effects on the skin, lymphatic and circulatory system, fascia, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints. Kinesiology tape has been used to help treat hamstring pulls, shoulder pain, and back pain, reduces healing time of bruises and swollen/inflamed joints and helps with posture correction. We use Rock Tape, which is water and sauna proof and lasts up to 10 days or longer.
