Meet Claire, the Master of the Forge

My name is Claire Brunow, and I have been a licensed massage therapist since 2012, starting my journey at the age of 19. Growing up with a mother who was a massage therapist, I’ve been receiving massages since I was 10 years old. This familiarity drew me to the field, originally as a way to help with my college expenses. However, it quickly blossomed into a true passion for understanding the body. Along the way, I also became a personal trainer and ran three marathons.

While I enjoy working with athletes to support their training, my practice serves a diverse range of clients. Being a queer woman married to another woman, I take pride in creating an inclusive space for the queer and trans community, ensuring they feel comfortable and free to be themselves. Although I welcome all clients, I have a particular affinity for the LGBTQIA+ community.

It’s important to note that I don’t offer a traditional spa experience. My goal is to relieve pain and tension. I work primarily with deep tissue and myofascial release techniques, and I do not provide relaxation massages typically given as gifts to those who don’t often seek out this therapy. I specialize in addressing issues like neck pain, headaches, back pain, knee pain, mobility issues, and sciatica.

While my approach is direct, my intention is to make you feel as comfortable as possible and to ensure you enjoy your experience – enough that you want to come back. After your session, I want you to leave my table feeling taller and transformed, with renewed motivation for self-care. But don’t worry, I’m not here to lecture – just come in and have an amazing time with me!
