Jean Wardlaw, LMT

A lifelong healer and artist, Jean has been a licensed massage therapist since 2003. Specializing in inclusive therapeutic bodywork she creates a welcoming and affirming space where every client feels safe, respected, and supported in their wellness journey. As a child her companions were animals, she often studied their structure in books and drew them. This curiosity eventually spilled into human anatomy and led her to becoming a skilled massage therapist and an accomplished artist.
 
She has advanced training in neuromuscular therapy, chair, massage for cancer patients, prenatal, and infant massage instruction. Believing that massage does not require pain to be effective, Jean has created a moderate deep tissue technique for those who find traditional deep tissue taxing. She has also worked as a massage doula, providing hands-on support during pregnancy and labor, and will soon offer fertility massage.
 
From an early age, Jean developed a deep understanding of the power of touch, compassion, and intuitive care—foundations that continue to shape her practice today. She provided support for her younger brother with cerebral palsy throughout his life; her experience caring for him, along with managing her own disabilities, gives her unique insight into the benefits of massage. She is happy to adapt her treatments to all bodies including clients with sensory sensitivities.
 
With a compassionate, client-centered approach, she tailors each session helping clients manage pain, reduce stress, and restore balance. Jean is dedicated to providing inclusive, personalized massage therapy that honors and supports every body. If you need accommodations for your massage, please mention it during booking and she will contact you to discuss specifics.
