Mosaic Massage

Mosaic Massage is a massage therapy practice dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing space for individuals seeking stress and anxiety reduction. I am Abby Mayer, the owner and sole licensed massage therapist of Mosaic Massage. I am committed to helping women and LGBTQ+ individuals navigate the challenges of stress and anxiety through a combination of therapeutic and Thai massage techniques.

My Approach

I believe that people are more than just a collection of muscles, bones, and connective tissue. As such, my work goes beyond addressing physical pain and discomfort. I strive to create a safe space where clients can address both the physical and emotional aspects of wellbeing. I work slowly and intentionally to build trust and encourage deep relaxation. It is my goal for clients to feel as comfortable and secure as possible, and I encourage clients to let me know their preferences so that I can tailor their session and ensure that they get the most out of their massage.

The Benefits of Massage for Stress and Anxiety

Massage can be a powerful tool for managing stress and anxiety. It can help to regulate the nervous system, reduce the frequency and intensity of overwhelming episodes, produce endorphins, lower cortisol levels, distract the mind from circular thinking patterns, improve sleep, and provide a supportive and safe environment.

Services Offered

I offer a range of services designed to meet the unique needs of each client. These services include:

• Therapeutic Massage: This type of massage focuses on relieving physical pain and discomfort. It involves the manipulation of soft tissue to improve circulation, relieve tension, and promote relaxation.
• Thai Massage: This type of massage involves the use of yoga-like stretches and pressure point massage to relieve tension, improve flexibility, and promote a sense of well-being.
• Customized Sessions: I work closely with each client to create a customized session that meets their unique needs and preferences. This may involve a combination of therapeutic and Thai massage techniques.

My Background

I have always been interested in helping people, and my journey to becoming a massage therapist began with a degree in Psychology from the State University of New York at Fredonia. After working in food service and hospitality for several years, I realized that I wanted to work more directly with people in a therapeutic setting. I attended Lane Community College in Eugene, Oregon, where I graduated from a well-respected massage program. I began my private practice right away and have worked in a chiropractor's office part-time, gaining experience working with a wide range of clients.

I am passionate about working with people who are dealing with stress and anxiety, as I have personally experienced the negative impact of these conditions on health and well-being. I am committed to providing a safe space where clients can simply pause and take a break from the demands of daily life.
