I have sent you all a list of possible therapists. I will copy and paste what I sent previously:

Zeke Rhodes / Divine Therapeutic Massage: 505-933-1359
He is also a medical massage therapist and does amazing work. He won best massage therapist once. As long as you don’t mind a guy, he does amazing work.
Alice Martinez / Body Balance Chiropractic: 505-275-6708
Not trained in medical massage, but is focused on medical. I took a class with her and traded with her for a while until COVID happened. I trust she will be able to help you with her amazing work. I spoke with her recently and she is booked out a couple of months, so she recommended her friend, which I will list next.
Jessica Aceves / Aceves Esthetics and Massage: 505-379-1480
Alice recommended this friend. Works within the same office. She is an esthetician and a massage therapist.
Erin Brady / Alleviation Massage: (505) 659-4723
She is a medical massage therapist at the chiro office I am at. She rents a room here and is not employed. I have spoken to her several times and she is a lot of fun to talk to and it seems she does similar work as I do. I would like some of you to give her a try! She only does 30 or 60 minutes.
Crystal at Albuquerque Alternative Health: 505-292-5875
She is employed by Dr. Downs. Crystal is quiet, but she has the same certifications I have. According to a couple of people I have spoken to, I would totally give her a try! Like me, as long as you communicate with her you will get the treatment you need. She may be a quiet person, but she apparently has strength! She does accept 90 minute sessions.

I want to focus on Erin Brady with Alleviation Massage, number 4 in the list above.

I have traded with Alice, number two in the list before, but she is booked out pretty far. I like her work and she is also an Army veteran, which would be a good fit for a lot of my clients. However, I had the chance to trade with Erin Brady.

I have traded massages with multiple massage therapists before. For the most part I always feel like they are not doing enough and I would have thoughts of telling them what to do. All massage therapists have their ways and their own certifications, so I have never told anyone how to do their jobs. However, I have only had one massage I absolutely didn’t feel that way with and that was one of my instructors I had for a certification I got.

Her techniques were so amazing, I was able to feel the benefits pretty quickly. It was during the class I was taking and she used me to demonstrate a particular treatment. Sometime after the class I took, I tried booking a full body massage with her, but she was too booked out and I was booked out and so it was hard to figure it out with her.

Then I meet Erin. I have now had the chance to trade with her once, on the last day of February. I decided I wanted to write about her, so my newsletter is late… My apologies for this! I usually send my newsletters out on the first of every month. Anyway, where has she been in my 9 years of being a massage therapist! She is amazing!

I will definitely trade with her again. She is highly intuitive and, like me, will do what she ultimately feels you need. But she does what is needed mechanically, so basically body movements and direct muscle work, but she also does polarity. I don’t quite understand polarity, but I do understand it is energy work used to basically balance out your energy. What ever is out of alignment. If I have ever done energy work with you, I balance out each energy field. Polarity deals with all of it all at once.

I don’t know what happened during my session. but we went into my session with the understanding of doing whole body work and putting focus around the hips because that is where most my issues are. However, the moment she put my hands on me, she felt the need to focus on polarity work. She poked me in areas and did little moves I did not understand. Again, I have no knowledge in polarity, so it is not a surprise I didn’t understand anything that happened during my session.

What I do know is that I felt like I needed that work. Let me tell you, she really made me cry like a little girl. She is the second massage therapist that did that to me. I felt so light and woozy, but really good. It was a Friday and I had gotten this treatment earlier in the morning and had plenty of time before my next client, so I took a nap, which was so needed. It was a lot of work and it was intense. I needed rest. The next day I had taken off work so I was at home and first thing in the morning I had my breakfast, went to the couch to relax and passed the fuck out! For the entire morning too! It wasn’t just a little nap, I did some serious sleeping! I woke up so rejuvenated.

Mind you I was having these cramps before the session and that eased significantly. Again, where has she been all my 9 years of business!? I cannot wait to experience her non polarity work! Either way, I can tell now, she is highly intuitive, versatile with her work, hears you and communicates, and I cannot recommend her enough!

**Erin Brady’s bio:**

She graduated from the New Mexico School of Natural Therapeutics in 1999 and started Alleviation Massage right out of school.

As a Licensed Massage Therapist for the last 25 years, her goal is to use her knowledge and intuition to perform multiple different techniques or modalities to help as many people Alleviate their pain and discomfort. Some are Therapeutic Massage, Polarity Therapy, Ortho-Bionomy, Trigger Point Therapy, and many more.

Side note: It is the Ortho-Bionomy I am so curious about. It is similar to my Revassage, the movements I sometimes or may be a lot of the times I do with resistance. This is just according to the conversations I have had with her. I could be completely wrong.

I normally love linking websites, but she prefers to have people call or text her. So if you have any questions or if you want to give her treatment style a try, text or call her!
