Next Level Pain Relief at Bloom

My name is Amber Gorritti and I have always been fascinated with the human body, a passion for health and wellness / more natural ways of healing! I truly believe the connection with mind, body, and touch help create more awareness of balance throughout the body. I graduated in 2009 with an Associate of Applied Science in Massage Therapy. I am certified in a wide variety of massages, but my specialty is a combination of deep tissue and Thai massage. (which currently is my favorite massage to do; I will even walk on your back:) I believe the body has the power to heal a more natural way as long as you treat it with the right ”ingredients”—Massage, yoga, plenty of healthy ingredients, and nature. You ONLY have one body, if you don’t take care of it; where will you live?! Outside of work, I enjoy traveling with family and friends, Being in nature, reading.

Overview of Traditional Thai Massage

Traditional Thai Massage is an ancient branch of traditional Thai medicine. It functions as a holistic, manual healing therapy and a dedicated form of energy work.

Unlike Western styles, it requires no oils and no massage table. You remain fully clothed on a soft floor cushion known as a Thai mat. The practitioner utilizes their hands, thumbs, palms, fingers, elbows, forearms, knees, and feet to apply precise pushing, pressing, rolling, and kneading techniques. This manual therapy combines deep acupressure, energy meridian balancing, and assisted yoga-like stretching. It is safe and beneficial for all generations.
