Swedish Massage

Alamo Bradshaw

Licensed Massage Therapist

Alamo worked as a nursing assistant with people whose mobility suffered from stiffness and tightness that massage could have helped prevent, so he went back to school and graduated with honors from Madison College's massage program in 2012. His focus is therapeutic Swedish massage, with clinical myofascial release, stretch-based deep tissue work, cupping and Reiki, and he gives a wonderful relaxation massage too. Listening to the body's cues and asking for your feedback are the keys, he says. He's learning Thai massage from Kay.

Allison Ballard

Licensed Massage Therapist

Allison has practiced massage professionally since 2018 and Thai massage since 2021. Her style mixes broad flowing strokes, stretches, myofascial release and pressure points, and in Thai massage she walks on backs for some clients. She has particular experience with headaches, rotator cuff rehabilitation and joint hypermobility, and looks at posture, exercise and the demands of your work to understand where your tension comes from, so your time goes where you need it most. She offers Swedish, deep tissue, Thai, Thai foot, prenatal and hot stone massage, Tuina with gua sha, cupping and Thai herbal ball therapy.
