I snapped awake this morning at 4am and had a hard time getting back to sleep again.
Later, I talked to one of my closer biznik friends, Will Wright - a Kink-friendly Lawyer in Seattle, and he told me that four o’clock is a time that is known for it’s relationship to stress. Apparently, there’s some documentation and many cases where 4am is the time at which that many people afflicted with stress, would waking up. 4 am would be when they got up, regardless of how much sleep they have had or when they’d gone to bed. › Continue reading
Recovery from injury - insurance vs. cash
Saturday, November 10th, 2007 | Deep Tissue, Featured, Massage, Myofascial Release, healthly living, injury treatment, stress | 3 Comments
I worked in clinics with other massage therapists on staff as well as chiropractors. I have treated the injuries of hundreds of people in the last 7 years and I have seen some interesting things.
The one things I wanted to point out in this little post was this: I have found that it takes longer for my patient to heal when they are getting their massages paid for by insurance.
Since I have had my cash-business for the last 3 years, I have found that the recovery rate for my patients is amazingly short compared to my experience in insurance clinical work. › Continue reading

Deep Tissue Massage Masters are hard to find
Monday, October 22nd, 2007 | Deep Tissue, Massage, Myofascial Release, healthly living, stress | No Comments
I have had many conversations with bodyworkers and normal people alike on the subject of a good deep tissue LMP. The conversation is the same: a good deep tissue massage therapist is hard to find.
I have the good heart to be humble most of the time but I must toot my horn on this account. I am one of the very best deep tissue and myofascial release massage practitioners in this region.
It takes a bit of dedication and talent, I believe, to become a very effective, gentle yet deeply impactful deep tissue expert.
A master of this art refines their skill to give both the felt experience of “deep” muscular therapy as well as having effective depth-control and specificity skills so that they accomplish repair and re-organizing of soft tissues goals while also doing well to not leave their clients feeling bruised all over. › Continue reading
Speaking of car accidents and pain
Thursday, October 18th, 2007 | Massage, healthly living, stress | No Comments
I had a car accident on the 1st of July. It took about 2-3 months for the pain to be really bad. So now, I have to share, that I am in pain because of that accident.
I can clearly see the fault in my thinking that my accident was “not that bad” even though I have treated many people who have told this same story over and over. The pain from a car accident take time to get bad. The normal amount of time that I have seen in my practice, for people to feel the most pain post-accident has been about 2-3 months.
It’s so strange how pain works. Even for me, with years of treatment of MVA’s with my clients, I still didn’t believe how it could could so long after the fact. But there is no denying that the pain I feel today is certainly because of the accident on the 1st. This is why I have a good lawyer! So that the insurance company who represents the at-fault party will most certainly be paying for my treatment.

Testimonials
From Eric Koszyk. Wow! What can I say? Sierra is a truly gifted person and therapist. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about massage. It helps that she is extremely intuitive and a very caring human being. Her space on Broadway is very warm, comforting and inviting.
As a fellow massage therapist, I highly recommend her, especially if you are looking for extensive deep tissue work which she is amazing at. You will leave her place wiser; her treatments will change your life.
From Joe Shirley I still remember the first massage I got from Sierra over six months ago. My neck was chronically bugging me, and my carpal tunnel thing was acting up. She asked my permission to go for it. I said yes. It hurt. She told me to trust her, and I did. And both my neck and wrist felt great afterwards. She went right through that crap and out the other side. Amazing.
From Matt Hanson Sierra is fantastic! I felt she was really attentive to the needs I expressed about my upper-back and shoulders. I was really impressed that she could identify other problems spots quickly and how they positively affected those areas that were bothering me most. I have had several massages and she has the strength and understanding to do a incredible job.
From Dennis Dilday I’ve had close to a hundred massages from more than a dozen different therapists and I can say Sierra’s are unique and wonderful. She relates and interacts with the layers of facia in a way others can’t. While determined to get a response from the tissues, Sierra is also tuned into her patient and keeps the experience pleasant and interesting. Clinically, she’s both confident and competent.
