  • “Tina is a very skilled and compassionate massage therapist. Her positive energy fills her home workplace, relaxing me from the moment I walk in. I always feel better both physically and emotionally when I leave. Much gratitude to you, Tina! You always know what to do for me, and you care so much. You’re the best!” - C.C.

  • "Tina has another kind of sense. With her compassionate nature she has the remarkable ability to see what’s going on in your body and know exactly how to work with you to treat it in the session. It’s more than intuition and a true gift of healing. I’m renewed with every treatment and every issue I come to her with, she knows exactly how to help. Absolutely 5 stars and recommend her to everyone!" - A.T.

  • "Tina is an extremely intuitive practitioner. Her touch and presence is very therapeutic. I love how she infuses different modalities in her sessions. She’s truly a gift to the massage world and you’d be very happy you booked with her." - T.M.

  • "Tina was absolutely fantastic! I get terribly painful knots in my back and she was able to get right in there and release them efficiently, using a variety of techniques to make sure she could bring me some relief. She was also so personable and very quickly set me at ease, it was by far my best massage experience. She has my loyalty from here on out." - N.B.

  • "Tina is incredibly kind and talented. She frequently checks in with you about what she is doing to make sure you are always comfortable. Her office is comfortable and easily accessible." - E.S.

  • "Holy cow. I'm a first-timer with Tina and my massage was quite beautifully orchestrated. I've never had such a relaxing, deep tissue experience like this! I was in heaven. I was in a car accident last year and have had issues with my neck and shoulders ever since. My time with her reduced my tension completely!! Tina has magical hands, she definitely has a new client after our session today." - A.E..

  • ​"​Tina has a remarkable ability to observe your body, understand what's going on, and provide effective treatment. She understands the mechanics of the body in ways that aren't obvious to the rest of us. It's more than just a "surface" or relaxation massage. It's about fixing the underlying issues. You will feel better!" - A.D.

  • "Quiet neighborhood, tidy massage studio, comfy table that can be warm or not. Tina has an amazing sense of touch and was able to really help me with my shoulder, and loves a good challenge. I feel safe under her hands, she has very strong communication skills and an amazing intuition on where to work, which may be away from where the actual pain is. The hot stones were amazing, and the silicone cup work and gua sha work contributed to a unique and very beneficial massage. Her bodywork helped me feel better and move better; I will definitely be booking again!" - C.B.

  • "I am a competitive swimmer, and recently I have had issues with my shoulders from carrying my heavy backpack and the repetitive usage that swimming entails. Tina really helped me, and after even one massage I felt a tremendous amount better. She helped me with both of my shoulders, and I can’t even imagine where I’d be without the help I received." - A.B.

HEALING IS POSSIBLE

Massage is a powerful, healing art. More than just a luxury, it’s a direct way to connect with your body, discover relationships between daily activities and pain, and heal. Do you have old injuries that you’ve thought you’d just have to live with? Even areas affected by a series of injuries can find ease. My clients find relief from hip and knee pain, shoulder pain and stiffness, lower leg pain, back pain - every person I work with finds some relief. Tightness and holding from emotional stress, grief, or loss is relieved with gentle, connected work. Sleep better, feel better, move better, and engage in your favorite activities again!

I offer a unique, powerful, and effective blend of therapeutic techniques. Many therapeutic tools may be included during your session including trigger point work, silicone cupping, gua sha, deep tissue massage, hot stones, hot towels, stretching, myofascial work, Tui Na, and Reiki energy work. Each session is customized to what you are experiencing that day while following a personally designed overall treatment plan to meet your healing goals. Through careful palpation and communication during the session, I tune in to your body with you. Each session helps you feel more knowledgeable about your body, more empowered in your care, and hopeful and optimistic about your healing. If it applies to your treatment plan, you’ll receive suggestions for stretches, exercises, or adjustments to your work station to ensure that your relief continues beyond just your massage sessions.

Bodies heal best when the level of pain is therapeutic but tolerable, and we’ll communicate to ensure we find that perfect balance. With so many skills seamlessly blended for your massage (click here if you’re interested in seeing the many modalities I practice), a session at Tina Smith Massage is a therapeutic experience unlike any other. All offered in a small, quiet, private office with easy, free parking. Let’s work together to restore movement and function and get you as flexible, energized, and pain-free as possible! I can’t wait to work with you!
