Welcome!

My name is Claire Louden and I moved to Colorado in 2007 from Illinois. I began my massage therapy journey in 2009 at The Colorado School of Healing Arts in Fort Collins. The school specializes in a type of neuromuscular massage called Body Insight, a very therapeutic style that often requires active or passive movement from the client. I am very grateful to have learned this technique and I still use it in my practice today.

After living in Fort Collin and Denver, I made my way to Summit County in 2015. Like many others, I fell in love with all of the action sports the mountains have to offer. Pushing my body to the limit, between snowboarding, mountain biking, and rock climbing, I began to experience chronic pain interfering with my quality of life. The chronic pain motivated me to deepen my knowledge of physical and mental wellness.

After my initial training, I completed a 6 month sports massage program, a  yoga teacher certification in India, studied the therapeutic world of Ashiatsu (barefoot massage), received my personal training certification through NASM specializing in corrective exercise, and completed a cupping myofascial decompression training. These courses have helped me deepen my understanding of the body in movement and how to address imbalances, injury, and  recovery. 

I am always looking for opportunities to expand my knowledge and share my passion.  

Over the 15+ years I have been practicing massage, I have had the privilege of practicing in many different settings. Working with a chiropractor, physical therapists, at ski resorts, and overseas has helped make my practice multifaceted. 

Bodywork is my passion and I hope to have the opportunity to share it with you!
