Since then, she has worked in various settings, from massage franchises and day spas to 5-star resorts, gaining a wealth of experience along the way.

Originally from Massachusetts I have chosen to make the Verde Valley my home for the past 18 years. Through my own healing journey I have been exposed to a multitude of alternative healing modalities. I made a choice 9 years ago to return to school right here in the Verde Valley for a new career in massage therapy and integrative studies. It has been the best choice I made.
Through my own experience as well as from working with thousands of clients, I have come to understand and know the importance of massage and alternative modalities in recovering, maintaining and or enhancing our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health and well-being
I intuitively integrate a variety of modalities based on your needs and what you are looking for. Some examples include; Swedish, Deep Tissue, Connective Tissue, Prenatal, Lymph Drainage, Cranial Sacral, Reiki, Energy Balancing, Ayurveda, East Indian Head and Face Acupressure, Thai, Natural Facelift and Lomi-Lomi.
I am also a trauma informed therapist and am very passionate about working with clients and seeing the positive results of Somatic Bodywork, Energy work or both.
So whether you are choosing your session today for release of physical and or emotional pain, healing of chronic conditions or injury, health maintenance or simply to relax and renew, my minimum goal for you is to leave your session with greater balance and peace in your body, mind and spirit.
I look forward to working with you and am so grateful you are doing this for yourself today

Bradley also incorporates teacher trainings in Neuromuscular Therapy, Somatic Expressive Arts and Dharma Yoga to facilitate holistic body/mind awareness, recuperation and expression for well-being.
“Bradley is an expert in massage therapy and somatic bodywork since 1994. I felt a remarkable difference in muscle relaxation which is very complimentary to my spinal adjustments.” -Dr Jeff Alfred, Chiropractor
I began my career in massage therapy in 1994, graduating from Blue Cliff School of Massage, in New Orleans, LA., with a specialty in fibromyalgia, because I, myself, had fibromyalgia diagnosed at that time. Therefore, I am very familiar with how to treat a fibromyalgia clients and how it feels from a client’s perspective.
Medical massage is my main specialty, and I started in 1994 by working on referrals from two different chiropractors, and in later years, working within a chiropractor’s office, until recently.
I am certified in Advanced Cupping, Medicupping and VacuTherapies for Healthcare Practitioners, by the two original certification organizations that teach cupping therapy in the United States: The International Cupping Therapy Association (ICTA) and by Advanced Continuing Education (A.C.E.) by Anita J. Shannon, Founder. I was also trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine Fire Cupping in 1994.
I have been integrating cupping therapies into my pain management massages as a form of myofascial release with great success over the years and have been getting very positive client feedback with both “stationary” cupping and “moving” or “gliding” cupping without leaving spots or “cup kisses.”
Some of my specialty certifications, other than medical massage therapy and cupping, include: “Massage for the Childbearing Year” Pregnancy massage by the Founder, Carol Osborne-Sheets; Myofascial Release by John F. Barnes, P.T.; Original LaStone Therapy, LaStone Therapy, Inc.; Lypossage, by Charles W. Wiltsie, III, Founder.
I like to do an eclectic blend of massage, including foot reflexology, and acupressure along meridians (Shiatsu), along with Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release, and some mild to moderate deep tissue, as needed. I let the client’s body guide me as to what they need, and, of course, along with their preferences. It’s very important to me that there is communication from the client about what they are needing and the amount of pressure that is preferred.
I may not be your best therapist if you require a very deep pressure, because I do not feel that deep pressure is necessarily the only way to provide the necessary release of fascial restrictions and for pain management.
I really enjoy helping people with cervical pain and back pain, using different techniques, including neuromuscular therapy (NMT), myofascial release therapy (MFR), and some passive - resistive stretching.
If possible, I feel that a really good pain management massage is 90 minutes with an eclectic blend of techniques, including cupping. However, pain management can be specific to certain areas of the body in a good 60 - minute medical massage.
When I am not doing massage, I enjoy making beaded jewelry, watching movies, researching health and wellness topics, traveling, photography, and being a part-time private tour guide!
