Trigger Point Massage Therapist

Careful Massage and Therapeutic Bodywork

My name is Jennifer Imboden.  I graduated from The Institute of Natural Healing Sciences in Colleyville in 1996, straight out of high school. They didn’t know what to do with me when I entered the program at 17, but I was determined, and to this day I believe it was one of the best decisions my younger self could’ve made.

My intention for every session is, first and foremost, to create an environment where each individual feels seen and heard. Massage sessions are customized according to what the client needs that day.

Knowledge of trigger points and where they refer helps us together track pain to the source and address it with various bodywork techniques such as positional release, deep tissue (as needed), muscle energy technique (MET), cupping, breathwork and stretching. I’m also a certified manual lymphatic drainage therapist and can work with clients for pre- and post-op, prenatal, with lymphedema, injury recovery, or simply for keeping a healthy lymphatic system moving!

Having had 5 homebirths and 1 emergency c-section, I love working with mamas and passing on knowledge from personal experience as well as what I’ve learned in various prenatal trainings. Prenatal massage and manual lymphatic drainage can support a healthy pregnancy and delivery.

I believe we were meant to default to a state of rest! Fight or flight is an important survival function, but our bodies, hearts, and minds were meant to return to and be sustained in rest and peace. Massage can be an invaluable tool in an individual’s journey to relearn what it means to truly rest.
