Cynthia B

Certified Massage Therapist

​

 

Cynthia received her nursing degree from the University of North Dakota in 1987 and she has extensive experience in providing patient care in a wide range of hospital and home care settings.  In 1995, Cynthia went back to school to get certified in therapeutic massage, and found her passion for helping others in this 2nd career also benefited from her medical background.  

 

She is experienced in providing orthopedic and pain management massages, therapeutic trigger point release, and general therapeutic relaxation massages. Her professional interests include sports injuries, chronic pain or illness, overuse or repetitive strain injury and rehabilitation, geriatrics, fibromyalgia, prenatal, general wellness, and prevention.

 

Her professional approach includes evaluating each client’s unique needs and implementing techniques specific to that individual. She listens to each client’s questions, concerns, and reasons for pursuing therapeutic massage, feeling this is vital in developing a mutually agreed upon team approach and working towards meeting their overall health and wellness goals.

 

“Knowing that there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach is both the challenge and the benefit I love in this line of work.”

Her practice philosophy sounds simple as she states she “is committed to a team approach between client and therapist working together toward a renewed sense of wellness and balance.” But her education and passion for helping drive results from that commitment.

 

Cynthia loves the outdoors. Her interests include short and long-distance running, hiking, spending time with family, board games, traveling abroad, or going to a serene lake cabin where she can relax on a boat with a good book or a fishing pole. She loves staying active and providing a service of value to others. Whether in her personal or professional life, or volunteering for a cause she is passionate about promoting health and wellness.
