Margaret
I graduated from New Hampshire Institute for Therapeutic Arts in 2013. The program provided me with skills to work a wide variety of modalities. Over the span of a 10 year career in massage I have worked closely with people who have gone through life changing situations such as anxiety, PTSD, trauma and grievance. My main goal is to allow clients to let go of the outside world while taking care of their mind, body and spirit. This is achieved by being present and customizing each session to suit the individual client's needs for that day.
Stephan
I graduated from Therapeutic massage program at Spa Tech, Westbrook Maine and I received my Bachelors in Elementary Education with special needs focus from Wheelock College, Boston MA. Whether you desire work on long term injuries and trauma or a deeply indulgent massage, I am able to meet you where you are on your journey. The modalities I have the most passion for are Deep Tissue, Myofascial release, Therapeutic and Swedish. When I'm not working I provide care for my parents, I am also a Whole Food Plant Based(WFPB) Wellness Coach/Personal Trainer and a lucky Father to an incredibly smart, crazy, fun daughter.
Rose
When I came to Athlete’s Touch my two main goals were to broaden my knowledge in the massage world, and provide the best possible care for my clients. During my sessions I aim for relaxation and comfortability; however my main goal is to relieve tension, help clients achieve desired self-care goals, and accommodate each individual session to the best of my ability. I believe self-care should be one of our top priorities in life. We get caught up in work and everyday activities, and forget to supplement not only our physical but also mental health. I mainly work in a range of moderate to deep pressure, and incorporate a combination of trigger point, deep tissue, and Swedish techniques to achieve maximum productivity. I’m also trained in cupping therapy, a deep tissue technique using silicone cups placed on the body with suction to increase blood flow, and decrease tension and pain held in the muscles. My passion is to assist clients in their recovery journey and have them walk out feeling refreshed and rejuvenated! In my free time I enjoy cooking, reading, spending time with family/friends, and exploring the outdoors.
Ryan P
In 2013, I attended Spa Tech Institute. Since graduating from the therapeutic massage program, I have been loving every minute of working in the massage world. I have always had a passion for deep tissue work and I love what I do.
I have had my eye on Athlete’s Touch for a few years now and I am beyond excited that I am now a part of their team! I have always been very results driven and my style has immediately fit in with our business model. I can’t wait to provide current and future clients with the therapeutic benefits of massage.
When I am not massaging, I am enjoying my free time with my pup, Georgia-Peach! We enjoy our days going on long hikes and taking our kayak out on the lake! Georgia loves a day outside in the beautiful weather, when she isn’t being spoiled with treats and belly rubs of course! I look forward to working with you all!
