Since becoming certified in Massage Therapy, with a background in Traditional Chinese Medicine, I’ve been sharing Shiatsu Massage, along with Reiki healing energy, for about 6 years now. Within the last year, I have also come to know Young Living therapeutic-grade essential oils, and I incorporate these into my practice as well. I offer a unique experience of relaxation and healing, to get the body feeling better and bring a lasting sense of calm to the mind.
A typical session with me takes at least an hour- Shiatsu is an ancient Japanese massage technique that recalibrates the body’s natural flow of chi (or “qi”). By applying finger, thumb and palm pressure along specific areas of the body, the chi is tapped into, bringing forth the whole-body’s natural wisdom and healing mechanisms. Some gentle stretching is also incorporated. The body will feel fresh and opened up; the mind more calm and relaxed.
If you’ve never had a massage before, or know someone else who hasn’t, this is a great time to come see what Shiatsu is all about! It’s done with the clothing on, so it may seem like a good ‘beginner’ massage to some. There are great benefits to all the services offered at Artifex Manuum; Shiatsu will work with and compliment other therapies.
Reviews for Angie
This was the best Shiatsu massage that I’ve ever experienced. This massage was very relaxing yet at the same time very refreshingly energizing. Angela is a wonderful healer with great energy and knowledge. Angela’s experience with other healing modalities such as using essential oils made my Shiatsu massage all the better. The music was soft and pleasant, the oils were phenomenal and the energy calm and refreshing. I walked out feeling relaxed and fresh. My Shiatsu massage far exceeded my expectations; I will definitely come back.

Angela’s massages left me feeling not just relaxed, but also physically centered. Spending time with Angela getting a message allowed me to be present in the moment and left me feeling ultimately more energized and more engaged.

I never even heard of Shiatsu Massage or Reiki until I met Angie. She has brought me such great relief from my body aches and my chronic back pain.
I got into a car accident 12 years ago and as a result, I have permanent back damage. I was supposed to go through treatment but never did and so I’ve long had constant throbbing in my lower back. The first time I got a massage from Angie I had hoped that it would make me feel better. I never imagined how much relief I would get from the pain; it felt nonexistent after the massage and the rest of my body felt great too. I could feel the energy flow through me as if she had opened my arteries and veins more and I felt more alive. I have so much more energy and sleep better after a massage by her. (I get a massage every 2 or 3 weeks and my life feels so much younger now. Thanks!)

Angie has such a natural and intuitive ability in healing work. She has successfully treated my back, neck pain and headaches with Shiatsu and Reiki. Her kind, loving nature is very supportive and encouraging. She has such a gift for connecting the spiritual with physical manifestation and assisting people to release pain and let go of what no longer serves them. I recommend her without reservation to anyone seeking relaxation, rejuvenation or clearer insight into their life journey.
