The name “Heritage Trades Massage” holds deep personal meaning. Heritage signifies a connection to the past that goes beyond mere stories; it’s about the tangible pieces of history that my family has preserved—relics, documents, and heirlooms that we still live and breathe today. This connection to heritage is both personal and universal.

 

Massage therapy itself is a heritage practice, a form of bodywork that has been passed down from generation to generation, evolving through ancient cultures and carried forward as a trusted and healing art.

 

Massage has a rich, global history. From its origins in early Chinese, Egyptian, and Indian societies to its influence in Greek and Roman medicine, massage techniques have been honed, shared, and refined over thousands of years. It is a practice that has remained alive because of its ability to connect people, both physically and energetically.

​

​The word “Trades” in the name refers to the craft itself—the skill of therapeutic touch. A trade involves hands-on knowledge, precision, and intuition, built over years of dedication. It is also a reminder of the meaningful exchanges that take place within the session: the giving and receiving, the mutual commitment to wellness, and the shared experience that creates a space for healing and restoration.
