Licensed Massage Therapist
Theresa Gailushas
“The way to best describe Theresa, is as a true Technician. Theresa drops all frills, the hors d’oeuvre, and digs right into the main event – this is no strip mall spa massage, this is the practice of bonafide medical massage at it’s finest. Theresa analyzes the situation surrounding an anatomical issue, and works ceaselessly to correct it.
All of that said, the special thing about a treatment from Theresa, is that while skipping the fluffy Swedish massage and other fun but inefficient fillers, you will leave the massage table not only knowing that you are one step closer to a pain free back or even getting back that full golf swing, but also feeling refreshed, taken care of, and ready to get back on that golf course.”

Lisa Howe
Lisa graduated from DiscoveryPoint School of Massage after spending several years working in IT, and a lifetime drawn to complementary and alternative medicine for herself and her family. She works collaboratively with her clients to support their unique journey to wellness, helping them deepen their presence of mind and awareness of body through massage.
Lisa skillfully blends traditional Swedish massage and therapeutic outcome-based techniques such as myofascial release, neuromuscular techniques, hydrotherapy, lymphatic facilitation, sports, chair, and prenatal massage. A combination of these modalities allows her to meet her clients’ wellness goals, whether easing injury, chronic pain conditions, stress reduction, or maintenance of well-being.
Massage therapy is a means to deepen relaxation while being anatomically informed, and can help strengthen person’s body-mind connection. Lisa strives to hold space for each unique session, and to listen with presence. She looks forward to working with you.

She has studied many techniques, ranging from shiatsu to positional release, learning from both massage teachers and physical therapist instructors, and utilizes each of them when it is appropriate for patient care. Yumi’s dedication to helping her patients get out of pain from serious injury has made us grateful to have her as a senior therapist in our clinic. Yumi pursues her interest in the mind-body connection by both studying massage(technique, physiology, and anatomy), and with her practice of Shaolin Gongfu (also known as kung-fu).
