Hello! I'm Aly, a Licensed Massage Therapist currently living in Harpswell, ME, and I am thrilled to provide Restorative Bodywork to the Harpswell Community.Â
I have worked in a variety of bodywork environments from spa settings to clinical practices. Throughout these experiences, I've learned the importance of holding safe space for clients to feel like they are home, while providing a professional therapeutic massage with clinical applications. I often use a blend of modalities and tools throughout my sessions so that my clients can have the options they need to curate the most ideal routine treatment for them.
My practice began two years ago after completing a one year massage program through New Hampshire Institute for Therapeutic Arts (NHITA) in Harrison, ME. Throughout the school year, I was required to intern at various clinical settings, which included an acupuncture practice, a chiropractic office, and an integrative clinic (that later on hired me). In these experiences, I learned about how many different ways one can tailor their health and wellbeing goals to suit their needs.
Last year, I completed a 200 hr Yoga Teacher Training program at Sundara in Brunswick, ME. With this furthering education, I was able to integrate everything I had learned from massage school into the application of movement. Yoga has become a valuable learning tool for me as a bodyworker. I am able to understand how movement can help an individual overcome a wide range of body/mind challenges. When I provide support for continuing maintenance after a massage session, I am likely to provide a yoga pose for my client to practice!
