Jeanette | Owner & "The Knot Seeker"
I consider myself the neighborhood therapist. I care about what goes on with your body, but I also care about your life—because how you live your day and the stress you carry directly impacts how you recover. We work with the whole picture to keep you moving pain-free.

What to Expect on My Table
The Knot Seeker
If there is stubborn tension hiding in your muscles, I am going to find it. I work purposefully and specifically, focusing on releasing the areas that are holding you back from feeling like yourself.
Real life. Zero judgment.
As the neighborhood therapist, I meet you exactly where you are. Bring your messy week, your stiff neck, life's drama and your exhaustion. My table is a space to drop the armor and just recover.
Translate Your Tension
I want to help you understand the issue, not just put a band-aid on it. I'll explain what I'm feeling in your muscles and usually send you home with a simple stretch or habit tweak to keep you moving pain-free.
A Fully Custom Toolkit
I don't do generic routines. Whether we need to incorporate cupping, ashiatsu, specific stretching, or gentle targeted work, I blend techniques on the fly based entirely on what your tissues need that day.
FAQs
No mystery—just the details
Who is your ideal client?
My ideal client is honestly a pretty wide range. A lot of people who find me think they want very deep pressure—and sometimes that’s part of the plan, but it’s not my default setting. I work best with busy, real-life humans: people juggling kids, work stress, family schedules, emotional load, and the general “getting older” stuff that nobody warned us would feel like this.
Most of the clients I see aren’t here for a one-time fix—they’re trying to stay functional, move better, and maintain a pain-free lifestyle while life keeps lifing. If you’re navigating pain and want someone who takes a practical, whole-you approach (not just “where does it hurt?”), you’ll probably feel right at home on my table.
What’s your pressure style?
My pressure is very adaptable, but I’m naturally a firmer-pressure therapist—and yes, people sometimes ask me to back off. That said, “firm” doesn’t mean I’m on a digging frenzy. I work with intention, not ego.
During a session, I’m constantly reading what your body is doing. If your muscles are guarding, you’re wincing and trying to grit through it, or your breathing gets shallow and tight, I’m going to adjust—because in those moments, lighter techniques are usually the smarter move, even if you came in asking for deep pressure.
A lot of people I see are so overloaded—screens, schedules, stress—that they feel a little disconnected from their bodies. Sometimes a steadier, more grounded pressure helps people reconnect and actually feel what’s going on. Bottom line: the pressure I use is based on what your body needs that day to make progress, not just what sounds good on the booking page.
What’s your schedule like?
My schedule is pretty straightforward. I’m in the office Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 11:00 am–8:00 pm, and I also offer 4 weekend days each month.
As the owner, I’m strategic about how I split my time—I’m actively growing Inner Roots Wellness beyond where we are today (including future goals like teaching, travel, and eventually a second location). But I never forget that my clients are what got me here, and my schedule is built to keep showing up for you while I build what’s next.
Can we focus on one problem area for the whole session?
Sometimes—but it depends, and I’ll always guide this in a way that helps you recover well. I want you to get the focused work you’re hoping for, but spending an entire session on one area can occasionally leave that region feeling overworked afterward, especially in longer sessions.
For example, “neck and shoulders” can absolutely be the main focus of a $60$-minute session. In a $90$-minute session, we may still prioritize it—but I’ll often balance the work so your body can actually absorb the session and feel better afterward. Either way, I do pay close attention to the areas you tell me hurt (even if we also need to look at what’s contributing to it).
What techniques or tools might you use during a session?
I use a wide range of techniques depending on what your body needs that day. That may include trigger point work, myofascial techniques, Swedish-style work, compression, stretching, traction, and more targeted pain-management approaches.
Tools I may incorporate include cupping, gua sha/scraping, hot stones, hot towels, heat packs, and essential oils. I’m also trained in Ashiatsu (yes—the one where I use my feet while holding overhead bars). If something isn’t a fit for you, we skip it—simple as that.
What should I tell you at the start of the session (and what can I skip)?
Tell me what’s been bothering you recently—and also anything that’s a long-term pattern, even if it isn’t flaring up today. The more context I have, the easier it is to make the session effective right away.
You don’t need to give me your full life story, but I do want to know the big stuff: if you’ve been stressed, emotionally drained, exhausted, anxious, or feeling low. Those things aren’t “just mental”—they show up in your body, and they matter when we’re figuring out how to help you feel better.
