Hi, my name is Taylor Thomas. I graduated with a degree in Psychology from Eastern Kentucky University in 2016. Massage School at SHI Integrative Medical Massage in 2021. My goal in having both certificates is to blend concepts of healing within the mind and body.This way of thinking has lead me to combine energy work into my practice and through doing so, I began taking courses in the field of Reiki.I come from a long line of healers, empaths, and teachers, with my grandmother being a Healing Touch Practitioner. Reiki operates in a similar way to Healing Touch. Bringing balance, light, and openness to the body. Integrating energy work, touch, breath work, stretching, and meditation are all tools I incorporate into my healing practice.
My intention with any massage session is to help the client’s body reach balance and to heal itself. My technique is Swedish, with emphasis on MET assessment/techniques, craniosacral (balancing cerebrospinal fluid to relax the head, neck, and spine), TMD work (to help relax/work the muscles of the jaw, face, and neck). I also like to tailor each session to the client. Whether it be for the sake of relaxation, stretching/recovery, or more focussed on mindfulness and energy work. My hands are here for healing, and I am happy to meet each client on their journey wherever that may be in their healing process.
My practice is at a place of expansion and I love to help lead groups through meditation and healing. I can be found leading groups up at a shop in Mason called Native Apothecary, once or twice a month. In my spare time I like to go for hikes, be outside, visit with family, read, and meet with other healers to expand my knowledge and elevate my healing frequency.
