Experience Relief through Therapeutic Bodywork
Custom tailored sessions to address pain, stress, restricted joint mobility, difficulty sleeping, and every other conceivable need that can be helped with massage. It’s pain relief without sacrificing relaxation.
Services Offered
Swedish Massage is the lightest pressure standard massage I offer. The focus of these sessions is primarily relaxation through light but complete (not “fluffy”) contact. This session can also be used to schedule Lymphatic Drainage massage.
This massage is most helpful for stimulating lymph flow, promoting sleep, and relaxing without as much of a muscle work focus.
Recommended Add-Ons: Aromatherapy, CBD Oil, Dry brushing, Hot Stones
This medium tissue massage can range from light-medium to medium-deep depending on subjective grade of depth. The focus of these sessions can be anything from simply relaxing to targeted injury recovery depending on wants and needs.
This massage is good for an introduction to my technique, monthly maintenance, general pain relief, emotional stress relief, and perfect for anyone who has never had a massage before.
Recommended Add-Ons: Aromatherapy, CBD Oil, Dry Brushing, Facial Lymphatic Drainage, Cupping, Hot Stones
Deep Tissue Massage is intense pressure to the superficial tissues first which—once warmed up—works into the deep fascia second. This is one of the most sought after kinds of massage and when done right can be both relaxing and deeply alleviating to the muscular and nervous systems of the body. It can involve stretching, guided breath work, and specific positioning to reach the deepest layer of reachable tissues.
This massage is best for addressing acute injuries, repetitive stress injuries (including carpal tunnel syndrome), exercise or injury-related muscle soreness, significant physical/emotional resets, and anyone who loves the deep relief that comes from deep work.
Not suited for pregnancy or people with certain conditions*
Recommended Add-Ons: Deep Blue Oil, CBD Oil, Hot Stones, Cupping
Myofascial Release is a highly specialized technique that is designed to release hyper-contracted muscle fibers—commonly referred to as “trigger points.” It is the most intense massage that I offer, and it is also the most effective for releasing specific tension points in the body. It can be painful during the session, but it renders the greatest long term relief.
This massage technique is great for anyone suffering from old injuries, chronic pain, stress related tension, or seeking out deep emotional release.

This hot stone massage is the perfect balance of comfort and muscle work without sacrificing one luxury for the other. The pressure can range from light to medium, and the hot stones warm up the muscle tissue in less than half the time a regular massage session does which leaves more time and better ease at getting into the musculature. It’s also a favorite in cold seasons (or for anyone who’s chronically cold).
The way I apply hot stones involves holding them in my hands while gliding across the surface which means the stones will never left to sit directly on the skin. If they ever feel too hot please speak up, but they will never be hot enough to burn the skin.
This service is a perfect go-to for a self care day, stress tension relief, post-sickness recovery, or a gift to yourself or a loved one.

Prenatal massage is one of the most rewarding experiences for both expecting mamas and myself. The goals can range from simply relaxing to addressing severe pain relief, and the session can be tailored to whatever you need within the parameters of what’s safe. This means light to medium pressure for everywhere from neck and back to legs and feet. I conduct prenatal massage for clients positioned laying on their side (or side-lying) with a body pillow and additional pillows for the head, arms, and wherever needed to get comfortable.
Prenatal massage is suited for anyone from 13 weeks and beyond seeking lumbar pain relief, shoulder tension release, or even to just relax and get some sleep
*Deep tissue massage, Myofascial release, Cupping, CBD Oil, Deep Blue Oil, and Hot Stones are contraindicated for pregnant women in any trimester and will not be conducted for this service. Certain oils are also unadvisable for use during pregnancy and can be found here.

About your Massage Therapist
Hi, my name is Savannah. I’m a born and raised Minnesotan and graduated with my degree in massage therapy in 2019. I spent my first year out of school working at a chiropractic office where I specialized in helping car accident injury victims, and this is where I gained the foundation of my understanding for the connection between pain symptoms and their oftentimes unexpected sources.
It was also during this time that I was sorting through my own set of severe whiplash injuries related to a car accident I experienced earlier that year. Full recovery ultimately took three years of searching for answers and one year of treatment. Four years after the accident I was finally clear of major pain symptoms after finding and treating the root cause, hence where the name and mission for Root & Branch stems from.
All of the pain and recovery that I’ve experienced both personally as well as alongside clients is where my passion for health and relief was born. I’ve now juggled chronic health issues for over a decade, and as hard as that has been I wouldn’t trade my circumstances for anything else because of all I’ve learned and how I’ve been able to help others on similar journeys. In short: I want to help, and I am not anything if not persistent.
