Hello, I’m Lisa

At More to Life Massage, I help active adults with healthy aging so they can stay strong, mobile, and engaged in the activities they love. Many of my clients are dealing with stiffness, muscle soreness, stress, or the effects of aging and injury. Do any of these sound familiar:

  • Chronic muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, or back

  • Stiffness and reduced range of motion in joints

  • Persistent aches and pains from daily activities or exercise

  • Stress-related headaches or tension headaches

  • Fatigue and low energy levels

  • Difficulty recovering from workouts or physical activity

  • Poor posture causing discomfort and muscle imbalance

  • Trouble relaxing or falling asleep due to stress and tension

  • Tight hips, legs, or lower back from prolonged sitting

  • Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or mentally exhausted from life's demands

If so, you’ve come to the right place! Through personalized massage therapy, I help reduce pain, improve flexibility, support recovery, and promote relaxation. Whether you're looking to move more comfortably, recover from physical strain, or simply feel your best, my goal is to help you maintain your health, enhance your well-being, and enjoy a more active, fulfilling life.

Investing in massage is an investment in yourself

Moving toward optimal health and wellness is a life-long journey. My goal is to partner with you to help you discover and tap into the resources that will support you along the way.

  • I've been a client of Lisa's for more than five years and have never been disappointed. I first saw her for a neck and shoulder problem and she got me feeling back to normal is just a few weeks. Now I'm dealing with neuropathy in my legs and she is helping me get through this next old-age issue. What I really like is that she listens and is attentive to my concerns. Combine that with her thorough knowledge of her craft and her expert skill, and it's a life saver for folks like me. A+ all the way.

  • I've been going to Lisa for about two years. She is an amazing massage therapist. Not only is she very kind and attentive, but she does great work. She applies just the right amount of pressure all over. Although she is perfect for my needs as is, she continues to learn new techniques to better her practice. Durham is lucky to have her.

  • Lisa is truly wonderful. I began seeing her for chronic pain management, and my pain has become much more manageable since working with her. Even more importantly, my nervous system finally feels like it is beginning to unravel and settle. Living with chronic illness and pain can make it hard to trust new practitioners, especially when there is a fear of being hurt. Lisa is compassionate, knowledgeable, grounded, and clearly supported by years of experience. I am deeply grateful for her care and would highly recommend LIsa to anyone looking for a skilled, thoughtful and truly compassionate massage therapist.

  • I cannot recommend Lisa highly enough. Every session feels personalized because she truly pays attention to what is going on with you that day. She takes the time to listen, ask questions, and adjust the session based on your specific issues. What really sets her apart is that she goes beyond the massage itself. She often suggests stretches and exercises that help between appointments which makes it feel like she genuinely cares about your long-term improvement, not just the time you are on the table. If you are looking for someone who is knowledgeable, attentive and truly invested in helping you feel and move better, I highly recommend booking with her.
