Current research is beginning to validate what most clients already know about massage therapy: it can help ease or prevent many common ailments that are often treated with prescription drugs and/or hospitalization. Many people think of it as a luxury, but massage is much more than simple relaxation. The therapeutic benefits of massage continue to be studied, but research has shown it to be effective in:Decreasing pain
Reducing anxiety and stress
Improving range of motion
Decreasing carpal tunnel symptoms
Reducing muscle soreness
Boosting immune system
Lessening depression
Relieving back pain
Promoting tissue regeneration
Easing withdrawal symptoms
Treating cancer-related fatigue
Easing labor pain and stress
Relieving migraine pain
And more
While a single massage will be enjoyable, the effects of massage are cumulative and a course of massage treatments will bring the most benefits.

People
Heather Lloyd, LMT
Owner/Therapist
I was born in California and grew up in several different states including Hawaii, Georgia, Florida, Oklahoma, North Carolina, & California. I resumed being a Florida resident in 1994 and have lived in Southwest Florida since 1998.
I graduated from Northeastern High School in Elizabeth City, NC in 1991. I was a North Carolina Scholar and a member of the National Honor Society. I attended the University of North Carolina at Wilmington from Fall of '91 to Spring of '92 taking core classes with a major in Psychology. In 2003, I chose to return to school to become a massage therapist. I graduated from Heritage Institute in Ft. Myers, FL in October of 2004 at the top of my class. I then passed my National Certification Exam and became licensed by FL-DOH in December on 2004. In 2005, I returned to Heritage Institute and obtained my Associates of Occupational Sciences Degree in Massage Therapy.
I have also attended many Continuing Education courses. In March of 2008 I became a Reiki Master Practitioner. I am committed to learning and enhancing my practice. Feel free to contact me with any questions concerning my credentials.
When not working, I enjoy spending time with my son and volunteering at his school. I have been a board member of the PTA and participated in many of their activities and field trips. My son and I have also enjoyed taking Tae Kwon Do classes together.

I recently booked and received a massage from Heather Lloyd, LMT and have been raving about it to my friends ever since, Heather is extremely professional, always a few minutes early to set up so that my session begins right on time. She performed miracles on my "computer shoulders" and I always feel relaxed and more comfortable after my session. I will be a repeat customer for a long time!
