Silver Goodier, L.M.T.
Licensed Massage Therapist
I have a deep love for massage and am amazed by the power it has to heal and improve lives. Humbled by the wisdom of our bodies, I treat my practice as a healing art and a continuous chance to learn. I trained in deep tissue, sports, prenatal, Eastern and Western modalities at the Finger Lakes School of Massage in New York and am further certified in Active Release Technique® (ART®) for soft tissue pain management and Reiki III. I integrate these techniques to tailor each session to your needs. You should leave feeling deeply relaxed yet energized. More about my work: Swedish, deep tissue, connective tissue, trigger point, neuromuscular, myofascial release, and ART® are useful tools to relieve painful or frequent tension in muscle and connective tissue and improve circulation. I employ these Western techniques to address specific areas of the body, like that big knot between your shoulder blades or the pain shooting down your leg. We all experience times when we feel "off" or out of touch, making us susceptible to stress, which could lead to disease. Eastern therapies like shiatsu, acupressure, reflexology, and Reiki seek to remove blocks along the body's energy channels (meridians) in order to achieve proper balance in the body and mind. I incorporate acupressure points, stretches, gentle movements and holds to improve the flow of energy in your body during the session. This moves you toward a healthy balance that supports your immune system and achieves calm. My intuitive sense of touch comes from a lifelong experience with massage and a formal education in human anatomy, while my style of flow is cultivated by a reverence for the energy systems of the body.
