Ariel McPherson
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! - 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 Williams
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. - Hola! My name is Pablo de Dios. I am a licensed massage therapist in the state of

Pablo took the time to learn about what I ask of my body and how it responds. He’s got the strength and know-how to provide an excellent deep tissue massage. I’m back on the bike and feeling good.
