Gwen Juvenal

LMT · Licensed Massage Therapist

With over 20 years of experience in structural bodywork and therapeutic massage, I specialize in listening to what each client's body is asking for rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. My work combines Structural Energetic Therapy, deep tissue, craniosacral techniques, myofascial and subtle body awareness to address both acute pain and long-standing patterns of tension. I am equally comfortable providing focused structural treatment or using a gentle, restorative touch, always adapting to the client's needs and comfort level. Patients often appreciate my ability to perceive subtle restrictions, create lasting change without unnecessary force, and provide a calm, compassionate therapeutic experience that supports the body's natural healing process.
