About
31 years. Thousands of conversations.
One person at a time.
Lynn Hoague has been practicing massage since 1995. In that time she's learned that the most useful thing she can do in the first ten minutes of a session isn't technique — it's listening.
Lynn's story
Lynn built this practice one client at a time. There's no front desk, no rotating roster of therapists, no script. When you book at Healing Hands, you're booking with her.
Over three decades she's worked with people recovering from surgery, people in the middle of cancer treatment, pregnant clients, athletes, parents, nurses, teachers and desk-bound professionals whose shoulders have quietly seized up over a decade of sitting.
What ties all of it together is a simple habit: ask first, then work — and keep asking while you work.
Philosophy of care
Two people can describe the same tight shoulder and need completely different sessions. One needs slow, sustained pressure. One needs to be left alone with a warm room and a quiet hour. Lynn's job is to figure out which — with you, not for you.
She won't push through something your body is guarding, and she'll say plainly if she thinks a different service, or a conversation with your doctor, should come first.
Continuity
Why personalized massage matters
That memory is part of the care. It's also why so much of Lynn's practice is made up of people who've been coming for years.

Reviews
Trust built one appointment at a time.
“Lynn has “magic hands”. She has training and expertise in many different massage techniques and can really tailor her sessions to each individual client. She is a wonderful healer and a massage with her is a fabulous experience. You will feel amazing afterwards.”
“Both I and my wife have been Lynn's clients for many years. Lynn's wide variety of techniques, profound empathy, and remarkable skills have been one of the reasons my wife is able to function and have reduced pain. Lynn is caring, patient, and able to adapt her therapies to each client's specific needs.”
“Therapy with Lynn has changed my life. Not only did a one hour session instantly relieve my symptoms, but I remain essentially symptom free between monthly visits. And Lynn's expertise goes well beyond the massage itself — her tips for preventative measures at home proved just as valuable.”
