Root Down Healing Arts with Heidi

Heidi does more than body work; she really is a healer. I was gifted a Maya Abdominal Therapy session with her. She’s wonderfully woman-​centric and affirming. I was so impressed with her knowledge about the history of ATMAT, about physiology and anatomy, and her ability to explain the concepts in a way I could understand (I’m also probably a nerd and like to understand exactly why people are doing what they’re doing). Even more than her technique, she has such a healing, kind presence. I highly recommend her for ATMAT!

Heidi is a warm and client-​focused healer, and she does magical body work. She is my sole massage therapist right now and I really love the way she gets to know how and where my body is out of alignment. I have received both massage and ATMAT work from Heidi and they offer unique benefits.
I love how Heidi cultivates space and calm in her practice, as I often come to her with the whir of life weighing me down and/​or distracting me. Receiving massage from Heidi puts me onto a whole other plane of existence for the day.
I cannot recommend Heidi and Root Down Healing Arts enough. She is truly talented and really understands healing work.

I’ve never been one to think massage therapy would be for me, I’m pretty ticklish and «self-​care» has never been a part of my vernacular, but consider me a convert! Heidi shows a nice balance of being both warm and welcoming and also very professional. I never felt uncomfortable on the table. She worked with me on my ticklish spots on my back until they felt totally relaxed. I never guessed that would be possible. It felt great. And she has a way of honing in on injured spots to help me heal them. Even in spots that I hadn’t mentioned. She’s obviously very gifted. I’ve subsequently talked my sister and parents into seeing her (all of whom used to feel the same way I did about massage) and now we’re all regulars!
Hint: book early! Her schedule can be pretty full. Even more so when I start proselytizing to my extended family. ;)

I absolutely loved working with Heidi during my pregnancy! I saw her 5 times total for ATMAT prenatal sessions. She was very welcoming, calming, and gave me tons of information about ATMAT and prenatal care in general.
I was very sick during my first trimester, and massages with Heidi were a great way to calm down and rejuvenate. By the end of my pregnancy, carrying so much weight was wearing me down, and again, ATMAT massage felt fantastic.
I recommend Heidi for anyone looking for a caring, well informed and skilled practitioner. I am looking forward to my postpartum massage with her next week!

I’ve had all great experiences with Heidi of Root Down. My friends have seen her for years and encouraged me to ask her about my aches and sluggishness. Heidi thoughtfully listened to me and then we talked about overall health remedies for my issues and what she could add. I’ve never been into massage, so I loved that Heidi’s approach is more adventurous and efficient than other massage therapists. She draws upon hot stone, Mayan abdominal, and craniosacral techniques — and I’m sure many more. She has a knack for bringing the vast «woo» of these practices to practical, complimentary use.
I really appreciate the ways Heidi has helped me feel better and understand my body’s systems, so I want to spread the word. Go to Root Down for down-​to-​earth, holistic body work!
