All therapists at our office work to provide healing touch through integrative massage with therapeutic intent. We each have our own unique approach and specialized training in therapeutic massage techniques which helps offer a verity of styles so you can find the work that best suits your needs. We adjust our techniques and pressure to suit each person we work with, because of this our sessions can vary depending on the clients preferences. 

All of our products are hand made in house with organic and local (when available) ingredients. These are used in our treatments and available for purchase in our office and online so you can continue your self care outside of your massage session. 

We deeply believe that every person can benefit from massage and we aim to help bodywork be accessible to everyone. We offer sliding scale to those in need (contact us directly if you would like this option). We provide bodywork 7 days a week with hours varying for each practitioner. All sessions are by appointment only.

The ironwood tree is widely used to represent the tree of life, with broad reaching branches and deep stretching roots it connects our bodies with the earth and the heavens. The old timers in these mountains called the ironwood trees muscle wood for its strength, flexibility, and fibrous bark structure. Ironwood Arts was named to honor the human body, the power and malleable nature of muscle and the wisdom of those who came to these mountains before us.
