Hi, I'm Jariah!

I have been a licensed massage and bodywork therapist since 2012. In 2020, I opened my practice here in New Bern, NC, and my mission has naturally expanded to meet the complex needs of those suffering from chronic pain, stress, neurological conditions, and persistent migraines and headaches.

My Mission: Comprehensive Care & Lasting Relief

My goal is clear: to support my clients in finding deep relief, whole-body balance, and nervous system regulation—whether they are navigating migraines, chronic pain, or complex neurological challenges.

My journey into this work began in 2011 after receiving my first professional massage. The instant relief I experienced was a revelation, sparking a deep desire to provide that same gift of healing to others. I graduated from the Indiana Therapeutic Massage School in 2012 and have since dedicated myself to mastering the tools that help people reclaim their lives from persistent pain.

I am always excited to help my clients get relief, especially when they have dealt with pain for years and after a few sessions they are finally free. Even better is when a client comes in with a migraine and by the end of their session, it is completely gone. That is why I do what I do.

Over the years as a massage therapist, I've been given numerous nicknames by my clients. My personal favorites are "Magic Hands," "The Muscle Whisperer," and "The Headache Meister."

I believe in a "whole-body" approach to wellness. To provide the highest quality of care, I specialize in CranioSacral Therapy, having trained extensively with the world-renowned Upledger Institute.

Because I've found that complex issues, trauma, and chronic tension require dedicated time to resolve, I focus on integrated sessions ranging from 75 minutes up to 3 hours. This allows me to custom-craft each session using a blend of therapeutic massage, CranioSacral Therapy, somatic care, and other modalities tailored precisely to what your body needs. There is nothing more rewarding to me than seeing a client who has lived with pain for years finally find the relief they deserve.

Beyond the Table

When I'm not in the office, you can usually find me outdoors — walking woodland trails and looking for unique fungi, enjoying the serenity of the beach while collecting seashells, or traveling to explore new places.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
