Hi, My Name is Candace!
At the age of 8, I was diagnosed with scoliosis due to a piece of vertebra never developing. All during grade school and middle school I had to do specific exercises and wear a plastic back brace in order help straighten my spine and prevent worse curvature and surgery. I was getting chiropractic care, massage and acupuncture. During that time I was also involved with dance, gymnastics, and soccer determined not to let my scoliosis affect my athletic ability. In high school I was training 4-6 hours a day 5 days a week.
Because of all of these issues I started studying kinesiology and scoliosis in order to better understand how I could prevent pain in the long run and also educate myself. From years of pain, to countless appointments, I understand exactly what my clients are going through and because of that I not only have knowledge and empathy but a vast understanding of how to treat each situation.
I started doing bodywork in 2004 with an immediate draw towards medical massage, specializing in motor vehicle accidents, pre and post surgery, sports injuries and scoliosis(which I have). Through the years I’ve studied many modalities including different kinds of energy work, and lymphatic drainage. In 2014 I became certified in yoga and started incorporating yoga and massage together for rehabilitation and preventative maintenance. I believe with the right nutrients and nurture the body can heal itself and maintain a healthy state, for me massage is an essential part of the nurturing. As a practitioner I’m nurturing myself by nurturing others, it’s a beautiful part of balance. When I’m not working to fix the world one body at a time, I’m spending time with my 3 beautiful children, whitewater rafting, backpacking or on some kind of adventure.
