Hi, my name is Makenzie. After flying to Maui in 2017 to become a certified Yoga instructor I came home and began my journey to study Massage Therapy and continued my interest in helping people. I eagerly got involved with practitioners who I consider mentors and for the curious mind I have, this was the best thing I could do for my practice and future clients. One could describe my practice as therapeutic but what does that mean? Well, I personalise each treatment, using resources, continuous education and a listening ear to really make sure my clients know that treatment is truly about their goals and wellbeing for their homeostasis. Some of the techniques I like to marry with swedish techniques are low level craniosacral, fascia connection, breathing techniques and stretching. I believe a big part of massage therapy is to connect with humans with peace in mind, whether that means laughing, sleeping, or maybe feeling a little uncomfortable to get comfortable to achieve a relaxed state. My main concern for my clients is for us to develop a trusting relationship. I don’t make complicated stories for my clients, I simply provide them a space to get out of the rat race and encourage them to have a deeper connection with their body. If I am not talking about or providing a massage I am either planning or eating a delicious meal with loved ones, taking my Bijon Shitzu out on the kayak with me, playing fetch or walking trails with my younger mutt, dancing like nobody’s watching (because they probably shouldn’t) or booking a trip for my husband and I.
