About Me

Hi!  I'm Dolores (Dee) and have been the sole proprietor of Essential Massage for over 14 years. I completed my studies at the Center for Natural Wellness in 2004 and have been in private practice ever since. 

My introduction and immediate love of massage therapy started several years ago when I was balancing the lifestyle of being a busy new mother, with a professional career and an active love for running and fitness. Finding a moment for myself seemed selfish and impossible! But the effects of massage were profound for me. The physical, mental, and spiritual health benefits were immediate and impactful. My sleep improved. My physical pain decreased. My ability to quiet the mind and practice meditation evolved. My mind-body connection elevated.

When it was the right time to make some personal career and lifestyle choices, I applied to massage school and have never looked back! The ability to share and witness similar experiences for my clients as they work towards their own healing has been most satisfying.  

In addition, I am a certified health coach.  I believe that we all have the capacity to improve our health with the right education, the right gameplan and the right attitude.  And, it helps to have someone along side of you to provide you with the necessary helpful tools, to set goals with you and cheer you on, and to assist you as you facilitate your own health journey. 

After all, your health and wellness is the best investment you can make.

Self-care is not a luxury.......... It's Essential to your well-being.
