Benefits of Massage Therapy
Support for the body and mind
Nervous System Regulation
Massage shifts the body out of constant stress and into a calmer, more balanced state, allowing the nervous system to settle and reset.
Relieve Tension and Chronic Pain
Intentional, skilled touch eases muscular tension and supports relief from everyday aches, overuse, and stress-related discomfort.
Encourage Rest and Restoration
By creating a sense of safety in the body, massage supports deeper relaxation, improved sleep, and the body’s natural healing response.
Meet Deanna Hudson
Compassionate, hands-on care by Deanna Hudson
My background as a Registered Nurse taught me the importance of compassionate, skilled care, but it also showed me how often people are overwhelmed, overstimulated, and disconnected from their bodies. I saw firsthand how stress, pain and trauma live not just in the mind, but in the body as well.
Massage therapy became a natural extension of my nursing experience. It allows me to slow down, be fully present, and support healing through intentional, hands-on care. Where nursing often requires quick decisions and constant urgency, massage therapy gives me the space to focus on regulation, restoration and the body's natural healing response.
As a massage therapy student, I am currently unable to accept payment for massage services. Sessions are offered as part of my hands-on learning and clinical training, allowing clients to receive attentive, personalized care while supporting my growth as a practitioner. In exchange for your participation, I may ask for feedback to help refine my skills and better serve future clients.
