Lindsay Newman, LMT OR Lic# 16508
Lindsay Newman is a licensed massage therapist specializing in Thai Massage. Her mission is to provide educated assessment and compassionate treatment for supporting whole body health integration. She loves being part of the RoseSprings community, dedicated to optimizing your health and wellness.
She first discovered her aptitude for helping others relax and heal when she was only six years old. At that time her mom was suffering from debilitating stiff necks. Lindsay's little hands could hone in on the tightest "knots" and ease away tension and increasing range of motion to the point that her mom's neck went from completely locked up to turning far enough she could drive!
Lindsay has loved giving massage ever since. In fact, her happiest moments while she was in college was giving friends massage to help recover from dreaded all nighters. She followed her heart's calling and enrolled in the Ashland Institute of Massage in January 2009. The 650 credit hour program was incredible - very intense, but highly rewarding. She loved learning about how our bodies work and how massage can optimize our functional abilities. It was such a privilege to soak up the expertise shared by experienced professionals and practice her newly learned techniques in student clinic. She graduated in June and was well prepared when she passed the Oregon State Board exams in August.
In November she further developed her passion for Thai Massage in a 50 hour continuing education class taught by D'vorah Swarzman. She is a founder of the Thai Healing Alliance International, a non-profit dedicated to maintaining international standards for the practice of Thai Massage. Lindsay's current goal is to go to Thailand with D'vorah in Nov 2010 to delve even deeper into the wonders of traditional Thai Massage.
For now though, Lindsay is at home in Hillsboro and thrilled to be part of the wellness community here at RoseSprings. She feels that it is a great honor to work with all my clients, incorporating mechanical wisdom and specialized techniques with Reiki and intuitive energy work to optimize our tremendous capacity for health and happiness.
