Work History
She has specialized in assisting clients with their recovery from injuries, accidents, and surgery. She has worked with D.O.'s, M.D.'s, chiropractors, and psychologists.
In the early 1990s, she trained massage apprentices. In 2009, she began teaching massage, first at Intellitec College and later at Pueblo Community College.
She has worked extensively with injury recovery, chronic tension, and post-surgical support.
Continued Training
In the 2000s, she added yoga therapy into her practice to support her clients. She completed her yoga teacher training with IYT Yoga in 1998.
These interests led her to pursue certification as an Ayurvedic Lifestyle Practitioner
with Dr. David Frawley in 2009.
She has continued her Ayurvedic training with Dr. Vasant Lad of the Ayurvedic Institute
and Dr. Bharat Vidya of Broomfield, Colorado.
In 2002, she trained in Bowen Therapy through the Bowen Academy of Australia. Bowen has been especially effective in helping the body release trauma from injuries and providing stability for clients with conditions such as MS and Parkinson’s.

Request AvailabilityYour massage or bodywork session will take place in a warm, comfortable, quiet room. Soft music may be played to help you relax. You will lie on a table especially designed for your comfort.
Most massage and bodywork techniques are traditionally performed with the client unclothed; however, it is entirely up to you what you want to wear. You should undress to your level of comfort. If you need some clothing it is suggested that you choose underwear or a bathing suit. You will be properly draped during the entire session. Bowen does not require the person to take their clothes off.
The practitioner will leave the room while you undress, relax onto the table, and cover yourself with a clean sheet or towel.
You will be properly draped at all times to keep you warm and comfortable. Only the area being worked on will be exposed. Bowen does not require the person to take their clothes off.
There are numerous types of massage and bodywork; various techniques utilize different amounts of pressure as well as strokes, including basic rubbing strokes, rocking movement, posture and movement re-education, application of pressure to specific points, and more. We can discuss which
methods may be most appropriate for you.
Prior to the massage, feel free to ask the practitioner any questions about the technique or the upcoming session. During the massage, make yourself comfortable. The practitioner will either gently move you or tell you what is needed throughout the session (such as lifting your arm). Many people just close their eyes and completely relax, communicating if/when they need more or less pressure, another blanket, or anything else relevant to the session. If you have any questions regarding the session or about the particular technique you are receiving, feel free to ask.
Massage and bodywork can help release chronic muscular tension and pain, improve circulation, increase joint flexibility, reduce mental and physical fatigue and stress, promote faster healing of injured muscular tissue, improve posture, and reduce blood pressure. Massage and bodywork is also known to promote better sleep, improve concentration, reduce anxiety and create an overall sense of well-being.
Yes. That's why it's imperative that, before you begin your session, the practitioner asks general health questions. It is very important that you inform the practitioner of any health problems or medications you are taking. If you are under a doctor's care, it is strongly advised that you receive a written recommendation for massage or bodywork prior to any session. Depending on the condition,
approval from your doctor may be required.

Her deep knowledge and experience help you truly unwind while recovering faster from injuries.
Her techniques are incredibly
effective at relieving both chronic aches and new strains.
I highly recommend her for anyone looking to return to optimal health!"
"Having known Vicki professionally
for 27 years, I can attest that she goes above and beyond for her clients.
She is an expert who constantly researches new techniques to ensure the best possible care.
She was the only therapist in our area skilled in the Bowen technique,
and her unique ability to provide relief from pain and discomfort is truly missed.
Look no further!"”
"Vicki is a knowledgeable and
insightful therapist who truly gets to know her clients.
After a bad motor vehicle accident in 2017, her use of the Bowen technique was a game-changer for my recovery.
It helped align my body so I could better respond to treatment—at times, the relief was so profound it felt like I was floating!
If you want a thorough, healing experience rather than just 'fluff,' you must see Vicki."
