MEET AMY OLSON

A Certified Massage Therapist since 2005, I am the founder of Root Medicinal Massage. My  practice includes a variety of therapeutic massage styles for individuals, couples or small groups. I am specially trained in prenatal massage, structural integration, oncological massage and manual lymph drainage. 

Informed by my dedicated practice, my knowledge of anatomy and my trust in the proven scientific benefits of therapeutic massage, all sessions start with a conversation with YOU, so I may learn your goals for improved health. 

Whether you are struggling with pain, giving up on your pursuits and passions or slowing down more than you had in mind, I want to offer some hope. I’m passionate about helping you reclaim connection to your body and empowering you to participate in a collaborative healing experience.

TESTIMONIALS

  • Catherine Gaston
    Amy Olson is the most competent and skilled massage therapist I have ever had work on the trauma from my car accident and painful scar tissue from my Caesarian sections, not to mention that good old mom/woman tension that has built up during the last years. I cannot recommend her enough.

  • Clare Gillmore
    I appreciate Amy’s knowledge, attentiveness and patience, and also her knowledge of anatomy and body work techniques. Her structural integration work eases the constriction and discomfort caused by the imbalance in my spine…and a chronic tightness in my lower back has been relieved.

  • Matt Phillipi
    Amy has worked wonders on my body. I am a professional skier, so my body has experienced a lot of trauma. I first started seeing her after a series of knee surgeries. She kept my body in line as I dealt with the issues of being on one leg and crutches for months.

  • Deborah Eppstein
    I had been suffering severe chronic leg pains for several months. I was at wit’s end, after seeing chiropractors and top back doctors to no avail. Amy was able to understand and treat the problem with her skillful massage techniques, with amazing results!

  • Patricia Corrigan
    Amy has eased the pain and swelling of my lymphedema flare-ups years after breast cancer surgery and also has helped with my chronic back pain. Her massage sessions also significantly ease my anxiety as I wrestle with the many baffling aspects of aging.

    When I had some issues with tendonitis, Amy’s work exceeded my expectations for what a massage therapist could do for long-term recovery. Amy has very strong fingers and hands, and offers a patient and loving touch.

    I've been seeing Amy for many years. She always does wonders on my shoulders. I've had other therapists in the past, but never gotten the results I get from Amy.

AMY OLSON OF ROOT MEDICINAL MASSAGE
• Certified Massage Therapist (CMT)

SERVICES OFFERED:
• Prenatal Massage
Specifically tailored to the needs of expectant mothers. It focuses on relieving the unique physical stresses of pregnancy, such as lower back pain, swollen ankles, and hip tension, using safe positioning.
• Postnatal Massage
Designed to help the body recover after childbirth. It focuses on rebalancing the body, easing the strain of carrying a newborn, and helping to regulate hormones and reduce postpartum swelling.
• Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage
A very gentle, rhythmic technique designed to stimulate the flow of lymph fluids around the body. It helps speed up the removal of waste and toxins, often used for reducing swelling or boosting the immune system.
• Deep Tissue Massage
This technique applies sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues. It’s ideal for treating chronic aches and pains or stiff necks.
• Swedish Massage
The quintessential "relaxation" massage. It uses long, gliding strokes, kneading, and circular movements on the topmost layers of muscles to reduce tension and improve circulation.
• Structural Integration (Rolfing) Massage
A holistic system of soft tissue manipulation and movement education. It focuses on the fascia (connective tissue) to realign and balance the body's overall structure and posture.
