Our Mission at HECM Wellness
Our mission is to help you sooner reach your desired Self-Care health goal. When you work with us, we help you take your self-care to the next level in a very simple and cost-effective way so that your wellness journey is one of transformation, not technique.
What Is A Clinical Massage Session Like?
With us, it is simple. If given sufficient time, you can tailor your therapeutic massage session to your body's needs during your massage. Here, we go deep to remove obstacles to your body's struggles. And, if you want to dive deeper into your body healing, we can order our doctor-preferred lab test so that you can also optimize your body by addressing the food that causes you pain and tailoring the supplements you take to work to your unique body.
Why Do I Need Clinical Massage and Nutrition Balancing?
Imbalance in deep soft body tissue translates into pelvic or butt pain, lower back pain, pain between shoulder blades, headache, migraines, tight muscles, multiple joint pain, muscle loss, rib pain, chronic fatigue, and tiredness or pain that we are not often aware of. If you've experienced any of these, please continue reading.
Are These Body Pain Serious?
Some of these could be real pain that we feel is not bad enough for a visit to the doctor. Yet, if nothing is done can lead to slow nagging and frustrating pain that massage alone cannot address as it progresses. Addressing them at the earliest stage is the best logical thing to do.
What Is The Worse Kind of Body Pain That Should Not Be Ignored?
The kind that result from soft connective tissues - The connective tissues are: fascial, bones, blood, muscles, ligaments, tendons and joint. Some of these connective tissues can be replaced or stitched up. However, for the soft connective tissues like the blood, fascial, and muscles, prevention is often better than cure.
What Are Some of The Best Preventive Care For Soft Tissue Pain?
Visceral Manipulation is one of my go-to steps to address deep tissue organ rebalancing. If you've had any kind of surgery in the torso eons ago. Or are experiencing pain after any surgery, such as heart or spine surgery. Postpartum pain like C-section and endometrial surgery. Gut discomfort such as constipation, diarrhea, headache, or any abdominal surgery like gall bladder removal or colectomy. Our work in deep soft tissue release would make a world of difference to how you feel.
What Are Some Other Massage and Bodywork Styles Best for Preventive Care?
Other techniques we use when you are experiencing a pull or tightness inside your body but you can't pinpoint where is: There are more out there, but these are the ones I geek on:
-Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy,
-Myoskeletal Alignment Therapy similar to sports massage
-Oncology Massage,
-Myofascial Release Therapy,
-Pre-Natal & Fertility Massage,
-Reflexology
-Scar Tissue Massage. And
-Functional Nutrition Approach to Bodywork and Massage.
Why Do I Need To Integrate Massage, Bodywork, and Nutrition support?
Working with 100s of clients, I find that most of us experience body pain that massage alone cannot address. For example, looking at my last blood work, the problem was that just because I fit into the statistical range of "normal" doesn't mean that I feel well. Most of us fit into this category. As a result, choosing to include functional nutrition testing to discover what else could be preventing your body from recovering as best as the body can is a no brainer. By working with me on the massage and bodywork and integrating tissue nutritional support will save you a lot of time and money guessing.
What Could Happen If I Combined Soft Tissue Bodywork with Nutrition Support?
When massage is combined with optimized soft tissue nutrition support, your body becomes easy to manage. The body will transition gracefully into menopause or andropause. What does it mean? No fear of fragile bone, broken bone with a fall. Prevent complications with any medical treatment.

Who We Serve... What We Do.
Who We Serve:
At HECM, we specialize in helping adults 50 and older who struggle with conditions such as multiple joint pain issues, recovering from surgery, chronic fatigue, persistent muscle tightness, auto injuries or unexplained back or rib pain, chest tightness, or difficulty breathing unrelated to heart issues. We are here to support your journey to better health.
What We Do:
We offer tailored integrative massage and bodywork solutions designed to support chronic pain recovery for andro-/menopausal men and women. Our advanced clinical massage and bodywork approaches include deep tissue massage, manual lymphatic drainage, craniosacral therapy, and visceral manipulation. These methods go beyond treating muscle pain—they also target restriction that causes nerve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve joint mobility.
To further enhance your healing, we can review your recent lab work to identify any nutritional deficiencies that may be impacting your recovery. Based on this, we create personalized wellness plans to accelerate your progress and help you feel better with each passing day.
Are you ready to take the first step toward relief? Contact us today to start your journey to improved health and well-being. Otherwise, please continue to browse.
For structural, functional nutrition support through menopause, we provide virtual one-on-one sessions, allowing us to focus solely on you. However, the bodywork session is an in-person service at our location in Falls Church, VA.
Envision Your Ideal Life:
Imagine reconnecting with loved ones, effortlessly managing stress, and relishing the activities you once enjoyed with your spouse or partner. Picture achieving a perfect work-life balance and staying healthy not just for yourself but also for your family.
Now, think of meeting friends for a drink, completely guilt-free, because you’re in control of your health and well-being. All of this is possible, and it’s on your terms.
Let’s make it happen together.
What Could Be Holding You Back?
Are you thinking, "I’m too old to start making changes"? Maybe you believe you don’t have the time or feel discouraged because you’ve tried everything and nothing seems to work for your condition. Perhaps the cost of testing seems too high, or you worry it will interrupt your other commitments. You might not like group programs or feel uncomfortable with online ones.
While these concerns are valid, understand that...
"Connective tissues are like the INTER-STATE of the body. For the menopausal phase, strengthening them increases flexibility and organ alignment and improves circulation and hormone function. You could save yourself expensive and painful heart surgery, joint surgery down the road"
Get Your Energy and Vitality Back
Regain Your Vitality Without Strenuous Exercise.
In our 50s, joint aches, muscle pain, and low energy can really slow one down. Imagine waking up refreshed, moving without pain, and having the energy to watch your children and grandchildren enjoy life again.
We’re here to help you ease pain, boost energy, and reclaim your vitality—no strenuous exercise is required. Let’s work together to bring back the comfort and energy you’ve been missing.
If this is you, we've got your back! We promise not to sound like your spouse. We make it simple for you to find lasting success.
Why our approach is different...
Genetically, we are all not built to run, jog, or muscle train all day. Some of us can't eat those foods we love to eat, while some of us have past injuries that unknowingly prevent us from moving as advised. We help you remove what causes your body's connective tissue to shrink, harden, or remain constantly in pain.
We provide:
- Nutritional Support: We uncover what's sabotaging your efforts to manage your heart health to connective tissue vitality.

You'll be empowered to go on that bike ride with your spouse or watch your kids live their lives with their own spouse.
Meet Your Integrative Licensed Massage Therapist
Hi, I'm Esi!
I love helping my clients ease and optimize their bodies and balance their energy to increase their vitality. Vitality is super important for detoxification, which is needed in our 50s as we transition into menopause. Many of my clients feel something is off in their bodies, but they don't know what. They say, "I'm not sick." I experienced this, too, and I've been on this journey ever since to support others.
I'm often the first person you'll meet as HECM Wellness. I've been an integrative - wellness practitioner since 2006 and a licensed massage therapist since 2013. I've touched countless bodies, and I understand that organs, bones, muscles, and joints often need more support than massage alone can provide.
Listening to my clients' concerns has shaped my approach. My passion and goal is to blend massage therapy with functional nutrition to address your unique needs. Combining functional nutrition testing helped me transition into menopause without experiencing years of sleeplessness and heart-racing. I love this work and am dedicated to helping you achieve optimal wellness.
With my skills and experience, I am not just a service provider but a dedicated member of your healthcare team, committed to supporting your well-being. I am here to help you achieve your health and wellness goals, and I will work tirelessly to ensure you reach your optimal wellness.
