Meet Your Integrative Licensed Massage Therapist
Hi, Esi here,
From childhood migraines and constant gut pain to post-injury burnout, I've lived in a body that hurts.
It changed everything when I found a provider who listened and used the right tools.

With over 20 years of combined training and personal healing, I blend clinical bodywork and integrative nutrition to create a plan tailored just for you. So, you restore your energy and love your body again. You don't have to push through pain anymore or fear exercising.
You can get well!

- Someone who listens and takes the time to understand you.
- Guide you on your next steps.
- A dedicated coach/Mentor to cheer you on to success.
We're here to provide a nonjudgmental perspective on your situation, ensuring you feel reassured and confident in your next step.

“Before discovering HECM, I had resigned myself to a life filled with chronic pain. But after just a few sessions of deep tissue massage and personalized nutrition guidance, my pain levels have significantly decreased, and I feel like I have my life back. The care and expertise provided by the team at HECM have truly been life-changing."

My pain has decreased, my energy levels have improved, and I finally have hope for a pain-free future."
