    Cassie Herther, MT, Owner

    (she/her) Cassie has been honing the craft of bodywork to heal the mind and body since 2015. With nearly a decade of hands-on experience, she has become dedicated to helping clients restore balance and live without pain.

    Her approach is rooted in both science and compassion. Holding a degree in psychology with a minor in kinesiology, she combines her understanding of the mind-body connection to provide truly individualized care.

    Cassie specializes in Craniosacral, Myofascial Release, TMJ therapy, Cupping, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point, Abdominal Wellness / Maya Abdominal and Lymphatic drainage. Cassie has extensive experience with relieving chronic migraine & TMJ issues, releasing neck & shoulder tension, sacral and hip flexor joints with stretching and preventative care.

    Wanting to become a MT was always in the plan. She has been a healer since childhood, by concocting “magical” stews with dirt and rocks and claiming she was a wizard at the healing arts. Massage therapy is her vocation and she is honored to own a space that allows her and other’s to do so.

    In her off time you can find Cassie submerged in the arts with writing poetry books, traveling to different countries, and taking cooking classes to make meals her picky toddler won’t eat.
