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.

Angie is the most talented massage therapist I’ve gone to and I’ve been to many. I was unsure if I’d like shiatsu massage and now I’m hooked! It’s not only relaxing and rejuvenating for your muscles, but it also calms your mind and brings you peace. I love the fact that shiatsu is based on Chinese Medicine so it really is great for your mind, body and spirit. Angie has a loving, calm presense and a keen sense of intuition. Her massages feel great and the calmness lasts for more than a day.

I highly recommend the Shiatsu massage with Angie! She was extremely attentive to my comfort and needs, gave great information about how to maximize my massage experience once I had left and future suggestions on treatments.
The atmosphere was comfortable, the service professional.The Shiatsu massage was relaxing and peaceful. I slept like a rock for 3 nights following the massage, which is highly unusual for me!
The appointment process is very convenient online and the therapists offer discounts and deals on what seems to be a regular basis.
DEFINITELY worth investing in your well being and visiting the Artifex for a great treatment!

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.
