About Spring Tides
Now a solo practice, Spring Tides started with two friends on a mission to give seriously good bodywork - without taking ourselves too seriously.
Spring Tides Massage was born out of Mikaela and Anna's passion for spreading joy and creating belonging, which we believe is the true foundation to wellness. While Anna has shifted to other ventures, the ethos and vision of Sping Tides remains.
By nature this is an inclusive, come as you are space. No judgement, no expectations, and no such thing as a silly question.
More About Me
Mikaela
As an LMT, an esthetician, and an Ashiatsu practitioner, I love to keep things fresh and interesting. I came to massage after years of teaching yoga ignited my fascination with the mind-body junction, and how even the smallest changes in either can affect the entire being. I also found bodywork to be a powerful tool in my own personal work of self acceptance - as this created a safe space to focus not on the appearance of one’s body but on all the profound things it does for you, and in turn what you can do for it. I feel honored to be able to create the container where others can do the same.
I bring my background of years in medical studies, yoga instruction and continuing-Ed skills to my work & am versed in a variety of ways to make sure all bodies are comfortable. I strive to create a warm, neutral atmosphere so as to meet my clients where they’re at in any given moment. I'm a full time student working towards a counseling masters and I bring this work into my trauma-informed practice.
Some common themes in my sessions include: a slow pace to work deeply without force; breathe cues and client collaboration when needed; a blend of styles & techniques tailored to you, and optional strengthening/stretching/mindfulness reccs so that your treatment can continue between our sessions.
I have a bit of an obsession with learning new things and my time is often spent researching or finding a new class to take. I love to go above & beyond for my clients and care deeply for all of them 🧡
