Stacy Baldwin

I am a 2023 graduate of Avenue Five Institute, where I completed more than 750 hours of massage therapy training. After graduation, I continued developing my skills through Myo’s mentorship program, CE courses and education focusing on recent research and studies regarding bodywork.

My practice has evolved into a highly individualized approach focused on helping clients better understand and manage pain, tension, and dysfunction in their bodies. I have a particular interest in working with chronic and complex pain, including clients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD), and other conditions where approaches to effective pain management massage may not always be the same from individual to individual.

My goal as a massage therapist is to listen first. I believe the client is the expert on their own experience, and effective bodywork should be collaborative rather than something that is simply “done” to them. I combine what you tell me with what I observe through palpation, movement, and tissue response to create a session tailored to what your body needs that day.

My work is muscle-specific and anatomy-driven, incorporating deep tissue, neuromuscular techniques, myofascial work, trigger point therapy, and Swedish massage as appropriate. Rather than assuming that more pressure equals better results, I focus on using the right technique, in the right place, at the right intensity. This is especially important when working with hypermobile bodies, chronic pain, compensation patterns, previous injuries, and areas that have become sensitive from years of guarding or overuse.

Above all, I want my clients to feel safe, heard, and comfortable communicating with me. Whether you are dealing with a complicated pain pattern, recovering from an injury, experiencing persistent neck, shoulder, hip, or low-back tension, or simply want thoughtful and effective massage, my goal is to meet you where you are and work with you toward feeling and functioning better in your body.
