About Whitney

I am a Licensed Massage Therapist in Virginia and a Certified Birth Doula (by DONA International) practicing actively in Norther Virginia and the DC Metro area. I am also a CEU instructor for Claire Marie Miller Seminars and at the American Massage and Bodywork Institute in Vienna, VA.   

 

My practice focuses on caring for women and supporting them in their life journeys. I practice massage to encourage fertility, help during pregnancy and the postpartum period, and later in life as women go through menopause and the aging process. As a birth doula, I also guide women through the adventure of pregnancy and birth. I have built my expertise around reproductive well-being with a goal of  improving the health and wellness of women throughout their lives.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage involves strong pressure and slow moving strokes designed to penetrate through multiple layers of tissue. Many people find deep work essential to helping them overcome stress-related pain and restricted range of motion. Clients often feel relief even after the first session, and over time they experience lasting improvement in their well-being. I find that many of my clients benefit from a combination of deep tissue work and deep, passive stretching, which restores balance to the body and ease of motion.

Whitney was great deep tissue massage therapist.  She cared for my wellness and is very deliberate with how she breaks down knots while helping to relieve your pain and in my case, severe migraines.  I will definitely be going back to see her.  She’s excellent!

If you need significant tissue, tendon, or muscle work done, Whitney … is your person!  She has the anatomy knowledge and the strength to target work, unlike any massage therapist I’ve ever had.

Whitney is an excellent masseuse.  She worked on several smaller muscles around the neck and shoulders that no other masseuse had worked on; that made a big difference.  I appreciate her skill in applying strong pressure when she works on back muscles.  She is a great asset…
