About

I’m Vanessa. I’m the founder, the therapist, the person answering your messages, and the one making sure every detail of your experience feels welcoming and intentional. For more than 16 years, I’ve worked in the wellness industry helping people relieve pain, reduce stress, and reconnect with their bodies. My journey began as a certified personal trainer, where I developed a deep understanding of anatomy, movement, posture, and how the body functions as a whole. That foundation continues to shape my work today and allows me to look beyond where pain is felt to better understand what may be contributing to it. Over the years, I’ve worked in luxury spa environments and therapeutic settings, helping people from all walks of life navigate stress, tension, physical discomfort, and the demands of everyday living. What I’ve learned is that many people are carrying far more than tight muscles. Stress, responsibilities, grief, pressure, and life’s challenges often find their way into the body. Many people have spent years taking care of everyone else while putting their own needs last. They don’t just need massage. They need a space where they can finally exhale. That’s why I created Release & Restore Bodywork. I believe the body already knows how to heal, recover, and restore balance. Sometimes it simply needs the right environment, intentional touch, and the opportunity to feel safe enough to let go. Every session is personalized to your needs and focused on helping you reduce pain, calm the nervous system, release tension, and reconnect with yourself. You are never just an appointment here. My goal is for every person who walks through my door to feel heard, supported, and genuinely cared for. As a mother, a business owner, and someone who understands what it feels like to carry the weight of responsibilities while neglecting self-care, I created the kind of space I believe so many people are searching for. A place to slow down. A place to breathe. A place to release what no longer serves you and restore what matters most.
