Expert in Relieving Jaw, Neck and Back Pain
About Allisa
I am familiar with tension headaches and back pain. Before becoming a massage therapist in 2011, I worked at a desk and spent one-third of my day at a computer. I loved my job, but it took a serious toll on my body. At the time a visit to my chiropractor confirmed that the vertebrae in my neck were out of alignment. As you can imagine, this caused me a great deal of discomfort including tension headaches and back pain. Through consistent work with a massage therapist and chiropractor I was able to correct my spinal issues and alleviate my pain.
Since 2011 my practice has been focused on helping relieve pain for those with tension headaches, TMJ dysfunction or who clench/grind their teeth. The techniques I use are aimed at decreasing muscle tension in the head, neck, jaw and upper back and realigning the muscles so they function properly.

"My first session with Allisa was incredible, and I was left speechless at how much relief I felt afterwards! She was attentive and checked in frequently. It was clear that she is an expert, as she was asking all the right questions and guessing my lifestyle habits. She provided an at home treatment plan that is very accessible and easy! I'm looking forward to seeing her again!"

"When I first started seeing Allisa, my TMJ was so bad I could barely open my mouth and had constant migraines. After one session, I had immediate relief. After working with her for a few months - I have almost no issues on the TMJ front. I recommend her to everyone I know. I have been continuing to see her on and off for almost a decade. She is fantastic!"

"Really awesome! I’ve had a bunch of TMJ massages and this was much more comprehensive and a better massage."

"Allisa is smart and super helpful connecting the dots of injuries and trauma. I’m looking forward to working with her more! I loved her optimistic energy and very unique trigger point style massage."

"I have been a physical therapist for over 13 years, and in one hour Allisa taught me so much about the jaw, neck, tongue that I wasn’t aware of. She is definitely an expert on the jaw and neck, as well as posture and biomechanics. I got so much relief and valuable information from just one visit! If you are having jaw issues - go see Allisa ASAP!"

"A true miracle worker. Anyone who suffers from TMJ or jaw clenching pain knows the how much it can affect your day-to-day life. Finding Allisa has been such a game changer and true gift to my life. Don’t hesitate to book your session with her!"

"After my first visit, all I can say is ‘Phenomenal!’ Allisa was able to discern issues I was having that I wasn’t even aware of. Skilled and thorough with such a pleasant demeanor - Allisa will definitely be a part of my health and wellness journey moving forward!"

"I highly recommend her for TMJ or any jaw related issues. I walked in barely able to eat and having chronic issues with my jaw from past issues. I left being able to yawn in the first time in months, I was smiling nonstop, and I feel incredible. She takes the time to listen and offer ideas to help you after your massage."
Emme H.
"She’s absolutely phenomenal. Extremely thorough in her assessment of you and your current physical status, extremely knowledgeable in her content, always explains what she’s doing and why, creates a warm and welcoming environment, and leaves you feeling your best. Cannot sing my praises highest enough."
Emily B.
"What I appreciate most about Allisa is the way she helps me consider my body mechanics in everyday life as it relates to my health. My initial complaint was TMJ pain, and Allisa is teaching me that TMJ (or most anything else) can’t be looked at in a silo. She is friendly, professional, and courteous. The variety of techniques she’s used to help so far have opened my eyes to different forms of treatment and a deeper understanding of how body and mind work together. Today was the first time anyone had used hot stones on me — GAME CHANGER. The frankincense and peppermint aromatherapy were a nice touch too."
Billy K.
"I started seeing Allisa a few years ago when I was having around 3 migraines a week. Migraines were a constant part of my life—I planned around them, worried about when the next one would hit, and was willing to try anything for relief. Now I have maybe 1 migraine a quarter and rarely even fill my medication. I went from migraines being a part of my daily life to barely thinking about them at all. She has quite literally changed my life, and I couldn’t recommend her more!"
