About
Terri Arden, LMT
My journey as a Professional Licensed Massage Therapist began after deciding to move on from the “Rose Hill I Can Do School of Gymnastics, Dance and Fitness”, a business I started after college. That business made a huge impact on the local community and I realized then I wanted to do more and help more people.
That was 2004. 18 months later, I was a Professional Licensed Massage Therapist and I have never looked back.
This is my chosen path. This is how I can help more people.
Since then, I have expanded my education and skills. My Integrative Massage Treatments can include any of the following: Young Living Essential Oils, Reiki, Thai Bodywork, Reflexology, BioMat infrared therapy, TBM, Hot Stones, Deep Tissue Massage, and/or Therapeutic Massage. Everything I do helps to improve joint mobility and reduce muscle tightness.
I create a comprehensive treatment for every client and session.

Process
When your body moves in balance with gravity and you have the resiliency to handle the load on your body, you are in perfect resonance. When that resiliency wains due to injury, stress, nutritional deficiency, surgery, or an emotional event, you need help to restore balance and regain resonance.
Each part of the body that needs improvement, once corrected, assists the rest of the body to balance.
I use a number of assessment protocols to find where your body is out of balance.
The assessment of your body is ongoing throughout each session. I keep up with your body as it transitions through the session. I speak for the unconscious "you" that you might not have access to. The unconscious you is your body.
While the majority of sessions I do are in person, I can also do some session types on Zoom, over the phone or Facebook Messenger video.
Techniques
One technique I practice is Total Body Modification technique. Total Body Modification (TBM) Is dedicated to the patient/client not the profession or the practitioner. TBM practitioners have found that if the right thing is done to the right body at the right time in the right way miracles happen.
If we can not change our environment we must adapt to live in it by eliminating the effect it has on us. TBM does that.
Zone Technique is another protocol similar to Total Body Modification (TBM) used first by chiropractors and now by professionals trained to support a healthy mind / body / spirit. Simple to apply to the client and deeply effective in balancing the body to bring perfect health. I have been certified since 2018.

"The best way to describe Terri is a healer. I have been receiving massage therapy for 20 years and she is the best I have been to. After going to 'spine specialist' and physical therapist for years Terri was able to identify and understand my injuries and how my body was adapting to them."
— SUZETTE N. W.
"Terri is wonderful. She took time to get to know me and understand what problem areas I want to address through massage. I’ve had terrible back pain for over a year and after just one session it is almost completely gone. I will definitely be seeing her on a regular basis."
