Massage Therapy & Bodywork
with Amanda Young, L.M.E., L.M.T.
In my thirties, I realized something needed to change. What began as quitting smoking slowly unfolded into a deep commitment to my health. I started with nourishing food, then yoga, and eventually Crossfit, which became a steady anchor for both my physical strength and mental resilience.
Along the way, I worked in a pharmacy, where I witnessed both the challenges of illness and the possibilities of wellness. Later, time spent working on a farm, picking vegetables by hand, grounded me in the simplicity of nature and the power of physical work. Each experience taught me something about the body, about healing, and about what it means to feel connected to oneself.
My professional path grew from that foundation.
Becoming an esthetician opened my eyes to skin health and the importance of nurturing touch, while management roles strengthened my confidence and ability to lead with intention. In my forties, I began receiving regular massage, and over time I experienced how profoundly it could affect both my body and overall wellbeing.
It opened spaces in my body that had been holding tension for years and helped me feel more connected to myself. That realization changed the direction of my life. I knew I wanted to help others experience that same sense of release, connection, and restoration.
Consider Polarity Energetic Therapy…
Polarity Therapy is not just energetic, it is also very physical in its approach to the body. It is an historical method that was developed by Dr. Randolph Stone an Osteopathic and Naturopathic physician. Born in Germany, he spent more than 60 years developing the methods and techniques that are known as Polarity Therapy. It represents a a synthesis of the physical health wisdom from the West and the understanding of the body energy from the East. He died in India at the age of 91.
He realized that working with the body on an energetic level would be able to resolve and rebalance systems and structures that were unreachable by any other method. Even today this explains people’s illnesses that are caused by exposure to EMFs or electrical towers.
“Health is not merely of the body. It is the natural expression of the body, mind and soul when they are in rhythm with the One Life. True health is the harmony of life within us, consisting of peace of mind, happiness and well-being. It is not merely a question of physical fitness, but is rather a result of the soul finding free expression through the mind and body of the individual.”

My Personalized Practice
One of the most important aspects of bodywork is how it permeates the body’s tissues and can create amazing releases and responses in even the deepest tissues while restoring balance after years of chronic pain and debilitating symptoms.
My practice has developed over time to include the skin, the muscles, the fascia and even the interstitial fluid, all of which allow for movement, carry immunity and determine the signals and communication our cells receive. I incorporate a number of techniques and methods depending on how the body presents. Through my comprehensive training, I have developed effective ways of relieving deep muscular tension, stress and increasing resilience. The Quantum biologic view of the body has proven that we are a unique combination of physical structure, energetic information and waves of fluid movement. This is what my practice is focused on for every person on my table.
Sessions can vary in length and I provide specific additional therapies that can be added into the therapy for a more comprehensive treatment including:
FAR Infrared Sauna blanket treatment
Postural Integration and Release
Traditional Chinese Medicine clay treatment for congested tissues
Specialized essential oil blends for purifying, balancing, soothing, toning and normalizing the tissues and energy of the body.
Why Polarity Therapy is Unique
Even though Polarity Therapy is helping to unravel the stress and tension of the body’s energy pathways, it often involves physical contact with the body. A session can be focused towards stress relief, pain resolution, emotional imbalances or even breathing disorders. It follows the knowledge that energy flows through the body tissues and often can become blocked, congested or severely weakened. By using the techniques and tools of Polarity energy can be freed and channeled to enhance the body’s own healing capability.
The manual techniques that are used have soothing Sanskrit names and tie this treatment to the history of healing arts in the East. Calming, soothing light touch is known as Sattvic. Tonifying to the movement of energy is called Rajasic. The deepest touch is called Tamasic and this is often needed to help with detoxification and clearing of the physical blockages that may have interrupted the body’s energy pathways.
You may be surprised when you experience a Polarity Therapy session as so many of our energetic disruptions express themselves physically as pain, muscular tension, movement restriction or even conditions of illness. Simply by restoring the body’s balance and innate healing wisdom, change is not only achieved, but can be maintained.
