about Deirdre:

Deirdre’s passion is to empower individuals in their healing journey. She brings diverse education, years of experience and life wisdom to each massage session. Described as warm and friendly, she is caring and compassionate in her massage sessions, using her hands to “listen” to the body. Treating the body as a whole, she believes in working with the body to find out what it needs to heal. From personal experience, she understands how chronic pain and stress impacts a person’s quality of life.

During her multi-modality massage session, she utilizes techniques from Swedish massage, myofascial release, meridian therapy, reflexology, craniosacral and Reiki. Additionally, she has specialty training from Nurturing the Mother® in fertility, pregnancy and menopause massage.

Deirdre graduated from the Fuller School of Massage Therapy in Virginia Beach in 1996. She re-certified as a massage therapist in 2014, at the Northern Virginia School of Therapeutic Massage. Before discovering her passion for the healing arts, she spent eight years as a litigation paralegal after graduating with a B.S in Psychology from Southeast Missouri State University.

In the grand scheme of things, Deirdre likes to think of massage therapy as having a “ripple effect” on our world. As each individual leaves the massage session happier, in less pain and more relaxed, their interactions with others is more positive and so the joy continues…

Reviews for Deirdre:

"Thank you Deirdre, you're a life saver. I've been very success at putting myself last, and finally made time for some much needed self care. Thank you for putting me back together again. You're skill set is so intuitive; where to work, pressure, when to back off and leave things alone. Perfection.... thanks again!" – L.R.

"Deidre is awesome. My arm feels so much better. I was actually able to sleep without waking in the middle of the night to a throbbing arm. She is amazing!" – Kathleen H.

"I had a wonderful massage with Deirdre. I have found that in massages, expertise can be substituted for stronger pressure. Deirdre did not need to apply intense force in order to be effective. She knew exactly where I needed attention and I felt lighter afterwards. I received the massage as a present, however I look forward to returning in the future." – A.M.
