 Caroline obtained her therapeutic massage training in 2003 in southern Portugal through the Green Mountain Institute of Massage. This school, run by husband and wife team Michael and Judith Jamieson, regularly holds trainings in southern Vermont, and each winter has an intensive training in Luz, Portugal. Their training includes delivering a full body Swedish massage, with elements of deep tissue, polarity and pressure point therapy.
Caroline’s massage style is an integrative approach, incorporating some or all of these techniques, depending on the person and their body’s needs. It is simultaneously deeply relaxing and rejuvenating, and clients often claim to be much more grounded afterwards. Caroline focuses first and foremost on being present with each individual, allowing her hands and intuitive nature to guide her in her work.
Caroline offers 60-, 75-, or 90-minute sessions, and occasionally 30 minutes. Gift certificates are available, which can be picked up in person or mailed to you.
Caroline’s beautiful massage studio is located at 269 Pearl St, a true tranquil space for relaxation and revitalization. There is a heated table for the colder months, and also hot stone massage on request. There is plenty of parking on the west side of the building.
