Massage & Lymphatic Therapy Benefits
Take care of yourself
Our Story
Welcome to Healing Motions LLC! My name is Marcie and I'm excited to share the transformative power of self-care through Massage and Lymphatic Therapy. After witnessing pain in so many people I've met in the service industry, I pursued my certifications to become both a Massage Therapist as well as a Certified Lymphedema Therapist to help others find relief and improve their well-being. I believe that while one session may not solve everything, it's the first step towards a more mobile, relaxed, and healthy you. I'm dedicated to supporting your journey and can't wait to partner with you on this path!

During a Cupping session, cups are strategically placed on high tension areas, utilizing various techniques to enhance blood flow and relax muscle tissue.
