About Erin Peace Massage & Wellness Center

Erin Peace LMT, CIIM, HNP

My name is Erin Peace. I have been a massage therapist for 12 years. I specialize in unique treatment/medical massage where I focus on not just helping my client’s symptoms but get to the root cause and eradicate it and teach them, so they can keep it away.

I am also a certified instructor of infant massage and a holistic naturopathy practitioner. My passion is helping others. Over these past 12 years I have seen so many people in such pain or post-surgery and injuries. Some will tell me “oh well, I am just old, aren’t i supposed to feel like this?" or they have been trained to think like western medicine - relive pain by soothing and addressing the symptoms and not the cause. I think people are sick of that! 

Lots of people come to me because they really have no other alternative. They have tried everything else. The fluff and buff massage just does not get deep enough to the root cause. I love what I do, and I am so happy to help and educate. I might be able to help the limited amount of people I can get into my office, but it is a constant flood. I have been teaching people for years, but we should have learned so many of these principles to maintenance our bodies when we were little. I say this all the time, but it’s true... We know more about our cars outside in the driveway than the vehicle we drive the whole of our lives (our body). I guess I figured I can say these things forever and hope for someone to take over, but I realized if not me who? When I started searching for ways to help our little ones so that they are raised with the idea of self-awareness and see value of their bodies, Infant Massage just made sense. I decided to put my money where my mouth is and become an instructor. With each family I can help connect with their child we help create a child with self-awareness and hopefully one who will take appropriate action to maintain their bodies throughout their lives. Infant massage is just the beginning, and I have several programs for different age groups: 

The Anatomy and Awareness classes (A&A level 1 & 2) are designed for age 4-12: 

A&A level 1 (4-8 years old) and A&A level 2 (9-12) the class is structured with 2 parts 

1.) Anatomy: basic anatomy of the body mostly the structure of our bodies, muscles and bones. Some systems are discussed but very simple to a bit more complex depending on level. 

2.) Awareness: I’m not a fan of yoga and blanking out your mind but I do believe we have to have a check in with our bodies. This is more like "How do I feel today?" "What is my body saying to me?" This class is to help understand our emotions and cues that our physical bodies are telling us. We discuss in the group that our body or things we are feeling are in our control and give practical tools to learn that control and change the things we do not like and maintain those we do. 

Other classes you can attend ONLINE with the purpose of stretching and strengthening are:

Pre-natal and Postpartum Stretch Classes and Senior Chair Stretch and Strengthen. 

For a holistic approach we have to look on the inside not just our outsides to feel better. I have classes that I will be teaching juicing and how to make your own teas, tinctures and remedies. God made herbs for the service of men, we should know how to treat the inside of our bodies when it is not healthy and also to maintain the environment when everything is going well. 

MORE ONLINE CLASSES COMING SOON:

Rebounding classes: I love how bouncing on a mini trampoline is so much fun. It is so easy on the joints and requires balance. 

Continuing education: for other local massage therapist. The idea is for all of us in town to be treatment oriented. And also, be able to teach our clients to help themselves. 

Just A Thought:

Did you know that arthritis does not have to be our future in old age? If we understood how to balance our bodies as a youth we would have less pain, less imbalance, and less deterioration of the joints by the time we hit 50. This is just one topic of hundreds that can be unavoidable. Plus, there are several lies we buy into. I think we need to start talking about this and make changes now to have a less painful and more active life. 

Being a part of this mission to start with babies and work all the way up to 99+... We can create a generation of people who understand their own bodies and know how to maintain them. This is not about a specific physique this is about being comfortable and healthy in the skin we are in. Let’s not give our children the tradition of "Grandpa had arthritis, so I will too."
