About
Massage heals from the outside in. Nutrition heals from the inside out. I help my clients realize both...My name is Ellen Matheson, MS, CNS, LMT. Over the past 20+ years I have gathered the clinical knowledge and skills to provide you with safe, effective, and evidence-based holistic care and natural medicine.
What I love most about what I do is that I help empower women. When women are happy and healthy, our culture thrives! My specialty is helping women at all ages and stages of life to improve their health and optimize their vitality. I have extensive experience helping women manage chronic complex illnesses, including Autoimmune imbalances such as MS, Lupus, RA, etc., chronic viruses, and certain types of cancer, as well as helping boost immunity to prevent and treat the common cold.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
For Massage Therapy services, an appointment and short health information quiz is required. New clients must prepay their first session with me. Multiple session packages are available. Please understand that I enforce a strict cancellation policy.
For Functional Nutrition and Wellness services, the first step is an initial consultation in which we discuss your health challenges and goals. If we decide to work together, the next step is our discovery process—a very detailed intake process using interview and questionnaires that records your personal health history and timeline, family history, signs and symptoms of imbalances, etc.; oftentimes lab tests are ordered to get a better understanding of what’s going on. Once we have gathered this information and I’ve completed your personalized Functional Assessment, we can then implement your customized wellness plan.

What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
It is very important to identify your health challenges, of course, but equally important are your expectations from the treatments or services that I, or any practitioner, offer. It’s always a good idea to discuss the expected outcomes with your practitioner. Sometimes we have unrealistic expectations about what to expect. It is an important factor in our collective healing to understand that 1. There is no one size fits all. Something that works for your friend may not work for you; 2. Patience is a requirement! With chronic conditions, it is highly unlikely that one treatment/session will fix everything; 3. Beware people and products claiming to offer an amazing cure all. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
