"I care for the caregivers."

 

Hi, I’m Monica Pollock, Licensed Massage Therapist since 2014 and owner of Breathing Space Massage Therapy. I know from personal experience that being a caregiver makes it challenging to prioritize your own self-care and it is my mission to help you break the cycle of putting yourself last. We all know the saying, “You can’t pour from an empty cup.”

As mom/stepmom to 3 unique and fun young adult kiddos, I’ve lived this and know it can be hard at times. In 2007, I spent a year caring for my terminally ill father, and I started running and lifting weights to alleviate my stress and anxiety so I could be a calm presence for my dad.

I’m a former middle school and high school science teacher and found that massage really helped provide relief for my constantly stressed-out state during my teaching years. 

In fact, I found massage to be so powerful, that I left teaching to enroll in Rizzieri School of the Healing Arts so that I could help others manage their anxiety and the pain.

I understand the stress and overwhelm you may be experiencing. I also know how important it is for you, the caregiver, to take care of yourself so that you can continue to be there for those you care for.

In my free time, I enjoy weight lifting to metal music, bird-watching on my back porch, or out hiking with my husband, Jason.  

 

I love talking with new clients to share how I can make your life easier and more manageable. Please contact me via phone call, text or email. I look forward to connecting with you soon!
