My name is Carol Ann Holcombe and I have been doing massage for the last 10 years. I am nationally certified in Massage and Bodywork Therapy. I first came to experience massage when I was younger, for stress relief, and to take care of my sore muscles from exercising. Later, after developing chronic headaches and neck pain, and getting physical therapy and massage therapy, I realized how effective massage could be in treating and managing pain. I knew, if there was ever a way I could help people through massage as I had been helped, thats what I wanted to do.
I studied massage and graduated from the Space Coast Health Institute in Melbourne, Florida in 2001, and then went on to study orthopedic massage and neuromuscular therapy mostly, but I've had training in various types of massage. My experience includes working for two physical therapy clinics, an acupuncture clinic, and a spa.
Its now my extreme pleasure to help people get out of pain, and help lower their stress load. My particular areas of interest include headaches, TMJ and neck pain, and low back and hip pain, but I also enjoy doing traditional Swedish Massage for stress reduction, and increased well-being. Various types of massage are commonly used within one session for maximum effectiveness.
I will work with you after your massage to show you any appropriate stretches and discuss what you can do at home to maintain your sense of well-being and enhance your health.
Sessions start at 30 minutes, and can be 45 minutes, 60 minutes, 75 minutes or 90 minutes, to accommodate your schedule.
