Tatiana McChesney

*Not accepting new clients at this moment*

Tatiana McChesney is originally from Brazil. She became interested in massage therapy after a trip to Thailand in 2005 where under the supervision of Master Mactherdchai of Chiang Mai and Jonas Westring she studied Thai Massage. In 2009 Tatiana became a licensed massage therapist focusing on Deep Tissue and Therapeutic work. In 2011 Tatiana became certified in Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy®. In this technique, the therapist stands on your back – staying balanced by holding bars that are secured to the ceiling – and uses her heels, instep, and toes to apply deep and constant pressure to the back, gluts, hamstrings and calves. It is ideal for people with tight ligaments or those with tense shoulders and hips.

In September 2023, Tatiana suffered a shoulder injury which led to a bicep tendon reattachement surgery and then she developed a post surgery frozen shoulder. This experience has cemented her passion for shoulder neck and back work and the need to learn how to unlock these areas in order to regain flexibility and mobility. 

Each session is designed based on how the client is feeling and what their needs are. During a therapeutic session, Tatiana might use a combination of essential oils, hot stones and/or hot towels, cupping and percussion massage gun. Tatiana is available on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Rob Phipps

Rob practices an integrated, intuitive style of massage where various techniques are applied based on each client's particular needs in every session. Rather than relying on heavy pressure, Rob prefers a range of pressures from light to moderately deep, focusing on techniques that encourage the muscles to relax. In his 16 years of experience in the field, Rob has worked alongside physical therapists, orthopedic surgeons, chiropractors, and acupuncturists. This diverse professional environment has enriched Rob's knowledge in anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology, enhancing his massage practice. His expertise includes advanced training in massage techniques specifically tailored to alleviate neck pain and address dysfunctions related to whiplash.

Rob's practice is not just rooted in massage therapy, it is also deeply influenced by his personal journey. He was drawn to explore direct-path teachings of self-discovery and spiritual awakening which continue to shape every aspect of his life and work, bringing a unique depth to his approach to massage therapy and life in general.

Rob is passionate about connecting with his clients, not just through massage but also through meaningful conversation (though he also respects your need for quiet during your session if that best suits your needs) and this holistic approach to both body and mind helps him understand and address their needs more effectively.

Rob is available for appointments on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.

Brianna Housman

Brianna earned her degree in Behavioral Sciences with a concentration in counseling at the University of Southern Maine in 2017. Her yearning to help others later led her to the Spa Tech Institute where she earned her Maine massage therapy license. She later gained experience in various settings including wellness centers, spas and chiropractic offices.

Brianna’s passion for massage partly comes from working through her own personal struggles. Her experiences with chronic health issues led her to seek out alternative healthcare practices, which led her to lymphatic massage. By putting more focus into her lymphatic health, she saw many of her symptoms subside and now feels inspired to share her knowledge with those who can benefit. 

Brianna’s massage practice now centers around helping those with autoimmune conditions and chronic pain. She specializes in Manual Lymph Drainage and is a Certified Manual Lymph Drainage Therapist (CMLDT). This modality stimulates the body’s lymphatic response through gentle, rhythmic strokes. Waste products are moved away from tissues where they can accumulate and cause a variety of health issues. This modality provides symptomatic relief from migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue, and Lyme disease, among other conditions. This work is also very effective in treating post-surgical and post-traumatic swelling. Additionally, lymphatic work is very relaxing and can help with sleep quality and chronic stress. *Brianna requires booking at least 48 hours prior to appointment time. Phone consultation is required prior to appointment to talk about client's goals. Brianna will reach out via text to schedule consultation.*

Brianna believes that massage can play an important role in moving the needle towards improving quality of life. From personal experience, she understands the emotional and spiritual effect of chronic health issues and aims to not just provide comforting touch but a listening ear as well. Brianna takes pride in being part of her client’s support system and circle of care. She looks forward to seeing you in the office and helping you in your journey towards good health.

Brianna is available on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
