HEY THERE!

I'm Sydney — massage and manual therapist, certified coach, and gardener.

Kidney surgery when I was ten weeks old impacted me more than I could have imagined. It also set me on the path I'm on today.

I've had lifelong muscle imbalances and discomfort stemming from the surgery I had in infancy. When I entered this profession in 2015, I had no idea that I was 1) correct in assuming that some of my chronic physical issues were linked to the scarring, and 2) that there was hope for me. Curiosity, creativity, and compassion are the driving forces behind my practice. I've had the honor of working with thousands of people over the past ten years, including hundreds in my private practice. I seek out advanced techniques, and I deliver results that help my clients thrive.

This isn't one-size-fits-all massage & bodywork. The goal is finding what you need to move the needle.

The clients I help may have a variety of diagnoses, including chronic pain, sprains, strains, tendonitis, tendinosis, whiplash, frozen shoulder, post-operative and surgical needs, surgical adhesions, SI joint dysfunction, TMD/TMJD, joint replacement, movement difficulty, arthritis, autoimmune conditions, POTS, fibryomyalgia, Lyme disease, hypermobile conditions like Ehlers Danlos syndrome, and injuries that have not resolved. I am a Certified Lymphedema Therapist and can support people with lymphedema, lipedema, and related conditions.

Helping people thrive is the goal here.

A couple things I beleive

Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals.

I have two pups with big personalities

They're a dynamic duo and keep me on my toes. Turns out they are cattle dog x golden retriever x malinois x etc

I love the outdoors

Spending time outside is one of my favorite things on the planet. WNC is one of my absolute favorite places on the planet (I'm a massage therapist, of course it is).

the elusive husband

He found it odd people who don't know him know his name, so here's a picture of my nameless spouse and I at a Banana Ball game
