Maia Gaddess, Licensed Massage Therapist
Modern care & healing through precision touch
My name is Maia, and I have a passion for making you feel your best. I promise to listen to all your body has to share, as every day brings a story anew.
You are a small universe. Each strand of your unique, evolving life contributes to who you are as a whole. From your DNA, to that time you fell out of the tree, to the bronchial infection that never seemed to go away, to the scars of motherhood- all of it tells a story that deserves listening to.
Modalities
Integrative Massage:
An integrative massage ranges in essential modality techniques to serve the client in relaxation. I work with clients who are doctor-approved post-surgical, pre and post-pregnancy mamas, athletes, and many others who are looking for tension relief. I aim to deliver a holistic, mind and body experience so that you leave feeling connected to your body, and ready to be and feel your best self.
Visceral Manipulation:
Perfect for those who are experiencing unexplained pain symptoms, when traditional PT isn’t working. My studies in the Barral Institute are ongoing. Visit their website for more information. www.barralinstitute.com
“The purpose of VM is to re-create, harmonize, and increase proprioceptive communication in the body to enhance its internal mechanism for better health, thereby revitalizing a person, and relieving symptoms of pain, dysfunction, and poor posture. Visceral Manipulation treats a person's functional and structural imbalances with an aim to affect their musculoskeletal, vascular, nervous, urogenital, respiratory, digestive, and lymphatic dysfunction. Through manual listening techniques, trained hands of a skilled practitioner feel where the tissues are pulling toward the areas of restriction, the areas where the body is not moving, and the areas of the greatest impact on the person's wellbeing from the manual therapy perspective.”
The space
Ideally located on the edge of downtown Sandpoint, my single occupancy studio is a robust 400 sq ft and includes a private restroom. I combine the science of anatomy and the relaxing benefits of aromatherapy and calming music.
