Clinically informed holistic massage for the face, head + neck

Welcome

I am so glad you’re here! Your body heals best when it’s in a calm, relaxed state. With years of experience and training, I have found that slow, intentional techniques help guide the body into this state of deep relaxation, easing mental, emotional, and physical tension. This approach is especially effective for TMJ dysfunction, facial tension, headaches, and neck pain.

BODYWORK THAT SUPPORTS YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM

In our busy, fast-paced lives, it is easy to stay in a near constant state of “fight or flight”, which can lead to anxiety, sleep issues, jaw clenching, inflammation, muscle tension and pain. To recover, we need to activate the body’s calm (parasympathetic) state. That’s why I am passionate about offering a nurturing, nonjudgmental space where you can receive bodywork that supports you during your current season of life.

Hi, I’m Regan

Licensed Massage Therapist • Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant • NASM-Certified Personal Trainer & Corrective Exercise Specialist

Originally opened in 2014 as Opal Massage, Innate Balance has transformed over the years into what you see today: a blend of my time as a PTA and my love for massage.

My education as a PTA and orthopedic massage therapist has given me a deeper understanding of how the body works and heals. I draw from that knowledge and experience with every client to adjust and customize the massage, while focusing on regulating your nervous system, easing mental and physical tension, and addressing your goals. I am passionate about offering treatment for TMJ dysfunction, headaches, and neck pain, as well as providing face massage for deep relaxation and tissue nourishment.

Committed to lifelong learning and nurturing my own mental and physical well-being, I strive to offer the highest level of care of my clients. I believe in the inherent well-being and resilience within everyone and am honored to assist you on your journey to returning to that place of balance ♡

My approach to bodywork

Client-Centered

Wellness is a collaborative journey focused on the whole person. It begins with a thorough intake process, attentive listening, and clear communication around your goals and preferences.

Nervous System Regulation

I am sensitive to your body’s response to touch and pressure, using an intentional approach that works in harmony with your tissues. This style promotes greater relief by allowing the body to release tension at its own pace. Clients often experience similar or improved results compared to “deep tissue” massage, but with reduced discomfort during and after the session.

Clinically informed + Holistic

Incorporating years of clinical experience, education, and mentoring, I tailor each session with techniques that will best support the nervous system, enhance lymph flow, and alleviate tension in both body + mind.

I specialize in helping individuals who are…

  • Experiencing TMJ pain or dysfunction

  • Dealing with neck pain

  • Managing headaches or migraines

  • Seeking nervous system relaxation

  • Experiencing stress, anxiety, or overwhelm

  • Looking to enhance overall wellness
