  • Book with Ariel McPherson

    Ariel McPherson

    Ariel graduated from The Edge School of Massage in 2014. After completing school she has since gone on to become a Master Massage Therapist with focus in Ashiatsu, Deep Tissue, Sports Therapy, Direct and Indirect Techniques, cupping, guasha, and electro stim.
    She enjoys working with athletes who are focused on preventing injuries and setting new PRs.

    Ariel's dream to be a therapist started when she was 7 years old after discovering how much working on her mom's shoulders brought her relief. With her mom's history of neck and back surgeries, living in chronic pain, she knew her calling was to help others who experienced pain.

    In Ariel's personal life she lives a very athletic lifestyle investing energy in bodybuilding, kayaking, and hiking. She believes in being an example and is quoted saying, "knowledge is power" on the daily.
    Despite her own personal physical injury in 2019 with a Spinal Cord Injury, she has persevered and has been a shining example of how the body is designed to heal!
  • Book with Richard Williams

    Richard Williams

    Richard Williams has been a Licensed Massage Therapist for 14 years.  He performs an integrated approach to Massage and Bodywork including modalities ranging from Deep Tissue, Sports Massage, Trigger Point Therapy, MyoFascial Release, Orthopedic Massage, Cranio-Sacral Therapy, as well as various forms of Stretching and Muscle Energy Techniques.

    Richard knew Massage Therapy was a calling and passion of his since he was a child.  He used to work on his active parents, and their friends since he was in Kindergarten. He felt his life gained purpose when he finally went to Massage Therapy School, and after graduating from Blue Cliff School of Massage in 2009, he moved to a ski town in Colorado where he became experienced by working on Winter and Summer Mountain enthusiasts including skiers, bikers, golfers, ultra-athletes, and Olympians.

    Richard is an ultramarathon trail runner, and has had to learn much about the body to train and recover properly so that he can continue doing what he loves with little to no stress on his body.
    Richard is also a Type 1 Diabetic, so he has to be aware and knowledgeable of other systems of the body to healthily and efficiently perform in daily life.

    Pablo did an amazing job. My injured shoulder feels much better!

    My experience with Apache was really interesting and informative. I didn’t know my body would move in so many ways. It was fascinating to experience how the slightest (push back) against my muscles would allow them to stretch so much further. I’m especially looking forward to reading my evaluation and starting some suggested exercises/ stretches for areas I need to give attention to.
