Mission and Values
Mission – Our Commitment to You:
Natural State Bodywork creates moments of “ahh- that feels great” and “aha- that’s why” to empower you to feel good and thrive every day. Our mission is to help you find your natural state of wellbeing.
Values – How We Honor Our Commitment:
Our staff is highly educated and focused on helping you feel better – whether that means a moment to relax or an inquiry into pain issues, we are here for you.
Natural State Bodywork strives always for:
Authenticity – being Genuine, operating with High Integrity and Skill
Caring – offering you a Nurturing, Kind and Collaborative approach to complement your wellness goals
Trustworthiness – giving you an Honest, Assured and Ethical treatment session
If we cannot help you, we are happy to refer you to others who might – whether that means to a physician for a medical diagnosis or to another massage therapist whose approach may better align with your needs. Our goal is always to help you feel better between and beyond our sessions together.
