Gillian Hansen - L.M.T.
Hello, I'm Gillian
This is me in my most favorite place, on the water, in the mountains = living life!
I want to help you live your best life too, which is why my work has intention to create more function and more mobility. I believe you have the ability, no matter what age, to have a body that moves freely.
My method to treatment is to meet your body where it is at, and give it the information it needs to bring your body back into a place of ease.
I am both a Licensed Massage Therapist, specializing in Myofascial Release, and a Certified Personal Trainer specializing in Functional Movement. This just means I know how your body balances and moves and Ive been doing this for 22years.
I studied Myofascial Release with the best, John F. Barnes, and learned a very gentle technique that approaches the body with reverence. Fascia is a tissue that cannot be forced (so don't be fooled by the quick fix methods). I've broadened my education learning also from Tom Meyers, Erik Dalton, the depth of Fascia with Gil Headly and Robert Schleip to name but a few. I just I adore learning, and I think a wholistic approach is a good idea! so Im always educating myself in different techniques to bring to the treatment room.
My love for movement developed when teaching skiing, movement mechanics fascinates me. So after leaving the mountains, I pursued an NASM certified Personal Trainer Certification with additional training in Corrective Exercise, Functional Movement, Pilates, Neuro Movement (DNS Prague Institute, ZHealth education), Neuro Kintetic Therapy and have countless continuing education hours in Bio Mechanics. What can I say, I'm a movement geek!
My background is in sports. I taught skiing for several years and as a youngster rode a lot of horses. Needless to say, I had a lot of injuries. Everything I have learned is because of those injuries, so I am no beginner when it comes to knowing how to get you back balanced and moving well.
Some of you may love to know the certifications I hold:
Thanks for reading,
