About

Heather Rizzo, Pain Relief Specialist

My passion lies in helping people return their lives to balance and connect to their own healing abilities so that they can manifest full health. I truly believe that a pain-free, happy, healthy life shouldn't be a luxury.

In 2002, I received my Bachelors of Science in Psychology with an emphasis in Pre-Physical Therapy. Being passionate about one-on-one time with clients I decided to turn to an area of the health field that allowed for more personal contact. In 2006, I received my massage certification from East-West Healing Arts Institute in Madison, WI where I excelled in Western and Eastern style massage and therapeutic modalities. Shortly thereafter I became nationally board certified. My customized sessions are designed to meet the specific needs of each individual’s body, mind and spirit. I'm very passionate about what I do and love the challenge of locating the true source of my client's pain. I think that knowledge is incredibly powerful so I provide every client with self care tips. I also think it is incredibly important as a Pain Relief Specialist to be a life-time learner and to be continually expanding my healing "tool box". I want to help people be educated not medicated!

Heather has been my massage therapist for many years. Her education in physical therapy enhances her knowledge and experience in massage therapy. She is wonderful with the elderly as well. Her technique is so varied and thorough. Whatever aches or hurts, she has the tools to ease the pain on more than one level. She asks questions at the beginning of the session and tailors your massage from your answers. I highly recommend Heather for relaxation, health and pain management.

When I arrived for my appointment the friendly staff seemed to be waiting for me. I've been to other places where I had to wait forever after I arrived for my appointment, but not here. I was very impressed. Heather will inform me if there is a promotion going on so that I can save money. Heather is knowledgeable and well-informed. She is aalways able to answer my questions, and sometimes follows-up with me after doing research, if needed. It was great to be able to talk to such a skilled therapist. Heather has some physical therapy knowledge and for me, this is a PLUS! At other places I've been to, sometimes the massage therapist's hands have been too cold, but they weren't at all here. They were the perfect temperature, which made my massage even more enjoyable. They made the extra effort to make sure every question and concern I had was addressed. She remembers what works for me! I had foot problems I had been seeing a chiropractor for -- that effort only lasted to the door. When Heather worked on my foot, arthritis, it lasted a WEEK wihtout pain. She is WONDERFUL! You will wish you came to her earlier!
