Mindy Toves, Massage Therapist Since 2006
While living in Cannon Beach, OR I sustained an injury that left my low back in intense pain. I began to receive massage and thought “Where has this been all my life!?” I was 23. Full of questions at every service my therapist suggested that I look into it as a career for myself. At that time I was serving at a conference center, doing everything from accommodations, to administrative duties, selling books in the book store and making people coffee in their café, and in the summers I taught middle school kids. I was not sure what I wanted to do with my life. It took me another four years before I took the plunge and began massage school, graduating and receiving my certification in 2006. Seventeen years later and I still feel I was created to do this work. I am a healer in my nature. Going through school answered many questions I had about anatomy, physiology, biology and much more, it was like a puzzle that finally got solved. That is how I see the human body. Like one giant puzzle. I ask questions to my clients during the first few sessions as I have found, questions provide answers, and answers lead to healing. I have continued education in Sennin-so shiatsu, myofascial theory, craniosacral theory, deep tissue, and am certified in aromatherapy. I have developed my own style of massage working with holding patterns to create balance in the body. I look forward to working with you and being a part of your health and wellness goals.
