Adria N. Ross, HHP
Adria has been practicing massage, bodywork, and energy medicine as part of a holistic approach to healthcare since 2003. She has worked at elegant spas such as The Regency at the Manchester Grand Hyatt, cared for clients in a private practice, and even taught/supervised students at the I.P.S.B Student Massage Center. She has extensive knowledge and command of human anatomy, physiology, as well as a kinesthetic awareness derived both from formal education and 20 years as a gymnast (claiming three state championship titles). Adria is trained in a variety of massage/bodywork modalities such as circulatory (Swedish), deep tissue muscle sculpting, neuromuscular therapy, sensory repatterning (aka passive joint movement), Traditional Thailand Medical Massage (Nuad Bo Rarn), Pregnancy Massage, Fertility Massage, and Hot Stone Massage. In addition she is a certified second degree Reiki practitioner and specializes in a form of energy medicine called Craniosacral Therapy. Her specialization in Craniosacral Therapy includes Craniosacral for Pediatrics. Adria’s approach is rooted in the “three centers theory” and aims to touch the physical, emotional, as well as mental bodies simultaneously. The key to permanent change is said to be awareness, so information and education are fundamental elements of her work.
