The foundation of her approach lies in Neuromuscular and rehab therapies, however finding the mind/body connection a fairly significant factor in the recovery process, she chose to pursue other avenues of complimentary health care. With her educational background in anatomy and physiology, Kelley understood the mechanical nature and balance the human body strives for and went on to study massage therapy at the "Desert Institute of the Healing Arts", in Tucson Arizona. It was there in Tucson, that she met Jon Pelton and the two of them began their journey together. Upon graduation from this program she worked in several 5 star resorts including Canyon Ranch Resort in Tucson Az. & The Phantom Horse Spa and Salon at the Point South Mountain. Her thirst for greater knowledge from both eastern and western principles, brought the understanding that each of us has a primal need to live and be treated as a whole person rather than in parts. Following the gifted leaders in their fields such as John Barnes P.T. in Sedona Arizona's, Myofascial release work and the stellar work of Mary Burmeister from the Jin Shin Jyutsu Foundation in Scottsdale Arizona, Kelley strives to pass along any knowledge and wisdom she has learned along the way. Her primary focus is bringing one into balance, mentally, physically and spiritually. She has developed her own unique blend of bodywork utilizing the various disciplines she continues to research and study.

We are happy to have Wendy join the team at The Master Touch Therapeutic Massage. Her holistic attitudes and spirit will provide a nurturing atmosphere and the best care to her clients. The holistic lifestyle always appealed to Wendy, and now her goals are being fulfilled as she works in environments that enrich the lives of both herself and her clients. Wendy's belief system involves the essential theory of massage that is based on the principle that the tissues of the body will function at optimal levels when fluid supply and drainage are unimpeded. When this flow becomes unbalanced for any reason (soreness from exercise, sprains, surgeries, subluxations,habitual postures, etc.), possible muscle tightness and changes in the nearby skin and fascia (a tissue that connects the skin to the muscles) will ensue, which may produce pain. The basic techniques of message are designed to reestablish proper fluid flow and are directed at the skin, muscles, and fascia, although nerve pathway are occasionally included. The various techniques of massage are generally applied in the direction of the heart to stimulate increased drainage from the involved tissues. Different combinations of techniques are used depending on objectives of treatment. Treatment typically begins with more gentle techniques before progressing to deeper, more aggressive applications. Your comfort level is always the top concern. Verbal communication between the therapist and client is very important because the therapist will use the cues given by the client as a guide to treatment. Wendy is available Thursday, Friday, Sat. and Sunday by appointment only.
