individualized massage therapy treatments for pain and stress relief
Beyond easing physical aches, massage therapy has a significant impact on mental health. Some of the key psychological effects of massage include:
- Reduced anxiety
- Better mood
- Emotional resilience
- Improved sleep
- Increased self-confidence
- Enhanced mental clarity and focus
Massage therapy improves cognitive function, making it easier for you to tackle the things in life that once felt overwhelming.
Healing is a transformative process that has been described by scholars as "re-membering one’s integral nature".

Meet Your Massage Therapist
Jamie Murphy, lmt
Hi, I’m Jamie. I graduated from Clover Park Technical College in Lakewood, Washington in 2014 with an Associates of Applied Technology degree in Massage Studies, including certificates in Swedish Massage and Clinical Massage.
As an independent spirit and entrepreneur, most of my massage career has been as a sole practitioner, but I have worked in spas, sporting events, corporate events, and even worked in a grocery store doing seated chair massage in Albuquerque, New Mexico! I have worked in the healthcare industry most of my adult life in varying capacities - hospital admissions, clinic reception, insurance verification, financial counseling, medical records, and massage therapy.
Massage therapy to me was more of a calling than a career choice… not to sound too corny, but I feel like I didn’t choose massage, massage chose me. I enjoy a slow-paced life and people have always told me I have a calming presence. Those things together are a great combination for a massage therapist.
My hope is that my clients are able to connect with their bodies in an accepting and positive way, appreciating all the amazing things our bodies do for us.
I chose the name Nuance Massage NW for my business because I'm proud of my PNW roots and wanted to convey the attention to subtle details in my massages. Meaning, changing things up in one small way can make a big difference. I want it also to be an encouragement that the same is true for all of life. Those little shifts in our daily lives can add up to monumental changes over time. Consistency is hard. But keep going.
Welcome to Nuance Massage NW and thank you for trusting me with your care.
