Amy Daws, LMT
My work starts with deep and intentional listening to you and your body. My perspective is rooted in Chinese Medicine, Anatomy & Physiology and Herbalism. I enjoy utilizing techniques from many modalities to address your specific concerns. I believe that our bodies are more receptive when we invite space for change instead of force change. In that way, my work could be considered gentle but also deep. My hope is that you leave each treatment feeling more grounded, balanced and at ease.


​We might be a good fit if:

  • You are committed to being an active participant in your healing.
  • You are looking to address a recent injury, chronic pain, headaches or migraines from a multilayered approach.
  • You are interested in cultivating body awareness.
  • You have a high level of stress and difficulty connecting to a relaxed state.
  • You are experiencing digestive distress such as constipation, IBS, GERD, etc.
  • You are interested in incorporating herbal medicine and flower essences into your bodywork session and/or are interested in it as a stand alone therapy.​

A few words about my values
All identities are welcome in my practice. I strive to offer a safe and supportive environment for all clients regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, body size or ability.

I also acknowledge that I am a white able bodied individual who works with Chinese medicine and indigenous practices. I honor these lineages and have a deep respect for the many shoulders that my practice stands on.

I am dedicated to dismantling systemic oppression and colonialism through my practice.
