Alyssa McClure became a Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist (LMBT) in the state of North Carolina after studying at Southeastern Institute where she earned 900 clinical hours of experience in a student internship. She believes that mind and body wellness are hand in hand and that massage therapy offers a release of tension from where we hold stress and traumas in our muscles and tissue. Massage therapy works especially well coupled with other therapies like counseling and acupuncture or chiropractic work.
"I love the art of massage. It is natural and free-flowing with intuition and positive intent to hold space for a healing body and psyche. I believe that the body is inherently whole and dysfunction occurs when we are exposed to long-term stressors, major life events, or trauma, especially. However, our bodies have incredible ability to heal themselves and sometimes we forget that when we reach such a point of pain that we believe it is irreversible. Massage therapy works to reverse that belief, by assisting the body in doing what it already does best, and allowing it to return to its natural balanced state of homeostasis. This includes proper connection with ourselves, our world, and each other. I am here to facilitate your body in its wellness pursuit and healing journey. And I am so blessed and honored that you would include me in that with you."
When Alyssa is not practicing her art of massage or discovering new wellness modalities, she writes works of fiction, poetry, and spiritual wellness; tinkers with sewing alongside her long-distance grandma, via facetime; tends to her garden and adores each of her plants; is discovering a new adventure in nature with her closest grandmother; or going out to lunch to visit her parents's and their chickens and garden.
"I truly hope I can benefit you by offering comfort, a safe space to facilitate release, and a heaping serving of hope. Reach out to me to see if my therapy would work well with your needs. Thank you for joining me in this space from where you are. Be blessed."
