Our Staff

Terry Martin: Terry practices Swedish massage with an emphasis on deep tissue for relief of pain and tension. She is also a Reiki Master. Terry lives and works in Chama, NM where she runs the Lightheart Inn.

Cairn Morrison: is an integrative bodyworker whose typical session combines elements of Swedish, Polarity Therapy and other modalities. The focus of her practice is stress reduction with deep relaxation.

Susan Weber: While the basis of her work is Swedish, Susan integrates deep tissue,cranial sacral and traditional Thai massage. These modalities may be requested separately. She also works at Ten Thousand Waves and teaches hatha yoga.

Joyce Barrett: Because every person is unique, Joyce tailors her work to the individual. She draw on her training and experience in Swedish massage, cranial-sacral reflexology, kinesiology, structural balancing, subtle energy work and healing touch to create a special experience for each client. Her therapeutic, intuitive approach addresses needs on a continuum from pure relaxation to relief from chronic pain.

Martina Madrid: My bodywork is based on years of practice and my focus is on you and what kind of touch you need right now for your body to remember your health and wholeness. I started with two years of Foot Reflexology and, after receiving my massage training, I worked at a local spa for ten years. My techniques range from Swedish, Neuromuscular and Deep Tissue to Acupressure, Trigger Point and my own intuitive release work. No technique is foolproof and each person is a new canvas of experiences which I have learned to honor and, therefore, my work is geared to remain within each person’s comfort zone. I love bodywork and feeling the body unfold during a massage. There is a sacredness to touch and I am blessed  to be part of this human miracle.
