Compassionate Care for Your Wellness Journey

Hi, I’m Tressa, the owner and founder of Lovingkindness Bodyworks. I’m a Board Certified Massage Therapist, Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist, and NCBTMB Approved Education Provider with a deep interest in helping people feel more comfortable, connected, and at home in their bodies.

My work is intentionally individualized. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all routine, I draw from therapeutic massage, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, scar care, cupping, movement, cranial and facial work, TMJ and buccal techniques, Thai foot therapy, and other integrative approaches based on what your body is asking for that day. My goal is to create a space where skilled, thoughtful care and genuine compassion can exist side by side — whether you’re managing swelling, recovering from surgery, dealing with persistent tension, or simply needing a place to slow down and reset.

Lovingkindness is more than the name of my practice — it’s the way I approach the work.
