Hi, I’m Erin Nurse—yes, that’s my real last name, and healing truly feels like my calling.

I’m a Cortiva graduate with nearly five years of hands-on experience, and massage therapy is more than just what I do—it’s what I genuinely love. My goal is for you to leave the table feeling noticeably different: lighter, more balanced, and more connected to your body.

I’m naturally a bit heavy-handed, which makes deep tissue work one of my specialties. I also incorporate stretching and targeted therapeutic techniques to help release long-standing tension, improve mobility, and support lasting relief. I enjoy a challenge and believe every body deserves intentional, effective care.

If you’re looking for massage that goes beyond relaxation and creates real, meaningful change, you’re in the right place.
