   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.

    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.

    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.
