Blue Sky Bodywork & Myofascial Release

Hello, My name is Nova!

I specialize in treating pain with myofascial release and massage therapy

I’m so glad you found me! Looking to enjoy life more and feel better in your body? You have come to the right place. I believe that your body is a miracle. All of the countless processes that occur every moment to keep you alive are astonishing! Even with so many things going right, I understand that sometimes you might not feel so perfect in your body. I also understand just how intense the burdens of modern life can be. What if you could just take a small time away from your busy life to let go of your stress and to reconnect with your body’s divine intelligence? With my skills in a variety of bodywork modalities, I would love to help you to remember and realign with the vitality within you. Book a session with me and rediscover how good it can feel to be human!

I have been truly blessed to have experienced some big challenges to my physical and mental health. The insights and awareness that these experiences have brought me are priceless! And the healers that have guided me along the way have taught me so much about my own strength and ability to heal. All of this has led me to be driven to pay it forward.

I am eternally curious and I love learning about how our bodies work. My journey to feed my knowledge hunger brought me to attend Northwestern Health Sciences University, where I graduated in 2011 with an Associate’s in Applied Sciences degree in Massage Therapy. I learned how to use my natural compassion and intuitive sense to help people feel better. Since then, I have studied Myofascial Release with John Barnes. Myofascial Release has been an incredible tool for me to bring into the treatments I give.

I've worked with folks of all kinds along the way. From patients in critical health in a hospital, to elite athletes - and everything in between. I really enjoy meeting people where they are at, and figuring out how to bring them the most benefit during our sessions. I also love to empower people with knowledge about their own bodies and self care techniques.

When I’m not doing bodywork, I love to learn about this beautiful world we live in through books and travel.

Services

Customized Massage Therapy

Whether you want relief from your aches and pains, or you just want to relax, your therapist will use just the right combination of techniques and tools to get you to your goals. Each session is designed uniquely for you. Tools such as hot stones or myofascial cups might be used. These sessions are done with lotion or oil on bare skin, on the massage table, with your body fully draped for modesty.

Myofascial Release

Great for chronic or acute pain or dysfunction, Myofascial Release treatments can help the body, mind, and spirit find better balance and harmony. This modality feels less like traditional massage. There might be long holds, gentle traction, or movement and repositioning of your body. These techniques do not involve gliding, so it is optimal if you arrive without any lotion or oil on your skin. To allow for full freedom of movement, I recommend that you bring comfortable clothing that also allows maximal contact with your skin (think something similar to what you would wear at the pool or beach)

Chair Massage Treatment

Quick tension-relieving treatments done fully-clothed on a massage chair. An excellent way to enhance your chiropractic adjustment or stretching session.
Note: This type of treatment is not appropriate during the second or third trimester of pregnancy.

Please note:

When considering services, you can have a session that incorporates Myofascial Release and Traditional Massage, or other techniques. There are no hard rules and dividing lines here. I just want to give you the best possible experience and outcome for your session.
