Massage Therapist Jennifer Heideman

Meet Jennifer

Jennifer Heideman, LMT, is a highly skilled and deeply compassionate massage therapist dedicated to helping clients feel safer, freer, and more at home in their bodies. With roughly a decade-plus of professional experience in both clinical and studio settings, she brings a calm, grounded presence and a thoughtful, therapeutic touch to every session.

Clients often describe feeling truly listened to and cared for in Jennifer’s treatment room. She takes time to hear your story, understand your goals, and check in about what feels comfortable that day. Her work is both intuitive and informed—drawing on advanced training in areas like lymphatic drainage, myofascial and neuromuscular techniques, trauma-informed care, and prenatal/postpartum massage—while always staying within the scope of therapeutic massage and your consent.

Jennifer’s Approach

Jennifer sees massage therapy as a partnership. Rather than “fixing” you, she collaborates with you to support your body’s own capacity to heal, adapt, and unwind. Sessions are tailored to your current needs: sometimes that means gentle, nervous-system-supportive work; other times it means more focused therapeutic work for pain, tension, or post-trauma recovery, when appropriate.

Her table is a place where you can slow down, breathe, and notice what is happening in your body with someone who is paying close attention and responding respectfully. Jennifer’s work is especially supportive for people:

  • Dealing with chronic tension, pain, or limited mobility
  • Recovering from injuries, surgeries, or other physical trauma (with appropriate medical clearance)
  • Navigating pregnancy or the postpartum season
  • Needing a safe, attuned space to relax and reset from ongoing stress

A Note from Jennifer

“Healing is a journey unique to the individual, yet I have seen the benefits of one person’s healing ripple out into the lives around them. Massage can be a pathway to powerful change and renewal for the whole person. I feel privileged every time I’m invited to support someone on that journey.”

Working with Jennifer

Choosing Jennifer as your massage therapist means working with someone who values your dignity, your autonomy, and your long-term well-being as much as your immediate comfort. Whether you’re seeking relief from pain, support after an injury, or simply a deeply restorative hour to yourself, Jennifer will meet you with presence, empathy, and professional expertise—one session at a time.
