Arthritis at a soul food dinner was the beginning of Heather Mills career in manual therapy.

 

At the time she was an award winning glass artist seated next to a noted saxophone player. She noticed the way the musician was moving his shoulder and reached out to help.

The success of that effort led her to the East West College of the Healing Arts in Portland, Oregon. Fascinated with the myriad of approachesto health and well being, she graduated in 2007 with a National Certification and began working alongside a Chiropractor and a Personal Trainer.

Arriving in Los Angeles in 2009, with the warmth of the sun fueling her passion, she extended her training to include Swedish, Deep Tissue, Aromatherapy, energy-shifting Polarity Therapy and Hot Stone and spa treatments. Heather believes the most effective massage involves listening at all levels, meeting you exactly where you are in the moment, and holding space for you to discover and accept your body in the “way we are tied in.”

When she’s not next to a massage table, you will find her dancing in a kitchen, upside down in a yoga studio, or watching the waves.
