Ladonna Massar

Professional:

I am a healthcare professional Nationally Certified in Massage Therapy and Bodywork (NCMTB), a Licensed Massage Practitioner (LMP) in Washington State, and an American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) Member.
I graduated from Ashmead College in Fife, Washington in November of 2006 and, in addition to taking periodic continued education courses, I practice therapeutic massage in the Port Orchard, Washington area. I incorporater Swedish, Deep Tissue, Treatment, Hot Stone Massage & Pre- & Perinatal Massage Therapy techniques asrnappropriate to meet the unique needs of all of my individual clients. Myrnmain goal is to concentrate on the health and wellbeing of each and every client individually. I believe in educating my clients on their own bodies and how they can increase their body's awareness thru breathing and self care techniques so they can increase their energy and health.
Part of my inspiration to become a Licensed Massage Therapist came when I was injured at work in July 2000 and again in a car accident four months later. I had strained tendons and muscles in my neck and back. I would persistently experience pain and discomfort from my injuries. Later, I attended massage school, where I received massages and chiropractic care on a regular basis. Now, I have very few problems.
My inspiration also came from my neighbor (also a licensed LMP) whom I now work with. She opened me up to the idea of being my own boss and making a difference for people in the world. I have since opened my business working along side Tamara Burt LMP and Dr Neil Aguilo DC, at P3 Chiropractic & Massage inr February of 2007.
Personal:
I am 26 years old and very much a family girl! I love to incorporate a lot ofrnthe things I do with my family and friends into my daily life. My mom is myrnbest friend, whom I miss everyday I’m not spending time with her! When I’m not working or at home with my hubby, I enjoy playing with our dogs, camping, hiking, off-roading, horseback riding, photography (you can see some of my photos on http://massar.smugmug.com), and I love to experience the beautiful waterfalls in Washington!
Irnwas raised in the deserts of Southern Califo ia and lived there until 4 years ago. It was in Califo ia where I received my Associates Degree ofr Liberal Arts from Victor Valley College. I married my husband Gregg, who was a Navy man, who brought me up here to the beautiful state ofr Washington. Gregg just recently got out of the Navy and so we are both looking forward to starting a family of our own one day soon.
