Hi, I'm Athena - owner of Blackout Massage and your licensed massage therapist.
Here's what I bring to each session:
Light to medium pressure with safe techniques to reach deeper muscle layers
A steady, intentional touch to help your body recover and perform at its best
Fitness knowledge to support your wellness goals
A judgement free space - whether you need to talk through tight spots or just relax in silence
A little about me,
I've worked at several gyms in Arizona wearing many hats, been a soccer parent, enjoy strolls around the neighborhood to exploring Mt. Lemmon, and have a small photography hobby. The active and wellness has became a large, unexpected passion.
Exercising and having been employed at gyms provided me with a better understanding of how muscles work. Analyzing games gave me a better understanding of how muscles work in motion. Over the years, I observed myself as well as others around me and it became apparent how much injury prevention and aftercare is neglected. Stretching, warm ups, cool downs, and extra rest days are often overlooked. Thus, neglect starts becoming preventable problems such as: muscle imbalances, strains, and pulled muscles.
As a licensed massage therapist, seeing through that fitness lens allows me to place myself in client shoes and picture muscles used in your situation and apply that knowledge to your session.
I look forward to meeting you and working together toward a common goal 🫱🏼🫲🏽
