Natalie Aviles, RMT

Having emerged from a competitive athletic background, Natalie possesses a profound understanding of the intricacies of the human body. Drawing from personal experiences recovering from multiple injuries and chronic pain, she intimately comprehends the challenges of the recovery and rehabilitation process.

Natalie's athletic journey, which began at the age of 6 as a competitive runner and swimmer, evolved into competing internationally and eventually transitioned into competing as a Triathlete. However, a major car accident at the age of 21 resulted in a subluxed hip, multiple broken ribs, and significant mobility challenges. Battling chronic pain and its aftermath, including digestive and reproductive issues due to prolonged pharmaceutical use, Natalie explored various multidisciplinary therapies.

After 10 years of chronic pain, Natalie discovered the transformative benefits of The Gilbert Method (TGM) during her massage therapy sessions. This approach not only alleviated her pain but also allowed her to gradually discontinue the pharmaceuticals she had relied on for years. As her mobility improved, Natalie embraced strength training, incorporating weight lifting, and learned the importance of the mind-body connection, breath work, proper body mechanics, and safe training practices.

Now an advocate for active living, Natalie engages in diverse activities such as weight lifting, running, biking, hiking, snowboarding, yoga, and meditation. Her personal journey of rehabilitation led her to a profound shift in understanding the human body, motivating her to transition from a 15-year career as a registered dental technician to pursue a second career as a Registered Massage Therapist.

When treating clients, Natalie's primary focus is on identifying the root cause of their issues. She employs techniques targeting fascia, nerve pathways, and muscles to enhance spinal alignment, reduce muscle hypertonicity, balance skeletal presentations, improve range of motion, and optimize the functioning of the nervous and circulatory systems. She also collaborates with other healthcare practitioners to ensure her patients receive the most effective and comprehensive treatment available.

Natalie is deeply committed to enhancing her personal well-being through the consistent practice of Massage Therapy and the exploration of alternative plant medicines, fostering holistic healing for her mind, body, and soul. Simultaneously, she passionately devotes herself to aiding others on their unique healing journeys. Throughout her own transformative journey, Natalie has cultivated profound connections, not only with individuals but also with the planet Earth.
