Where clinical bodywork meets traditional massage

When you're looking for answers—not just an hour on the table.

At Happy Valley Bodyworks, our dual-credentialed practitioner brings years of clinical sports medicine experience to the massage table, combining traditional massage with advanced hands-on techniques to help improve movement, reduce discomfort, and support your body.

Every session begins with listening, assessing, and choosing the approach that best fits your needs. Rather than following the same routine for every client, we draw from a toolbox that may include Clinical Massage Therapy, CranioSacral Therapy, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Visceral Manipulation, instrument-assisted soft tissue techniques, photobiomodulation, and personalized home exercise recommendations.

From children to older adults, we provide individualized care across all ages and stages of life. Whether you're managing headaches, recovering from an orthopedic injury, addressing swelling, or seeking specialized pediatric care, our goal is to help you move better, feel better, and get back to doing what you love.

No cookie-cutter sessions. No unnecessary extras. Skilled hands. Clinical reasoning.

Besides the massage, what's also recommended is their Reiki and Craniosacral work. Helen is my therapist there and I will say she is so professional and caring. She's made a difference in my life, providing relief from pain and nagging sensations, and just being there for me. Would recommend. Repeatedly."
