Do you take insurance?

As a licensed massage therapist, I am happy to provide an invoice for a flexible spending account.  If you are going through a PIP claim, I can provide an invoice to submit for reimbursement.  Massage therapy, Acupressure, and Somatic Education are not currently covered by standard health insurance.

Are you taking new Massage Therapy clients?

I am taking new massage therapy clients on a case by case basis.  I have been a licensed massage therapist since 2004.  Email me to set up a free 15 minute phone consultation to discuss your situation and see if it is a good fit, alison@truenorthhealing.com.  Or simply schedule yourself online on the  "Scheduling"  page under the service  "Massage/Feldenkrais combination".  My massage therapy sessions include at least a little Feldenkrais or Acupressure for optimal results.  The Feldenkrais Method and Soul Lightening Acupressure are deeply calming and can bring profound change.
​

Why the name True North Healing?

North according to the earth's axis.  Different from compass north.  To move forward in the right direction.

Why the geese?

Geese totem are a symbol of following one's inner compass.  Geese also symbolize a strong connection between mental faculties and movement, as in flying tightly in formation during migration.  The mind/movement connection ties in with Feldenkrais, as Feldenkrais is based in neurological connections between the brain and movement.
