Evelyn Clark

After a stressful period of her life Evelyn was looking for some way
to relax and came upon an ad for a women’s massage therapy
 workshop. She knew nothing about massage. She never thought
about or was exposed to it in any way. But it appealed to her and
 she attended the 8 weeks of classes which she ended up repeating 
continuously for several years. Even then her motivation was 
personal without a thought of exploring massage therapy as a
 profession.

When her office management job ended and she was at a
 turning point she decided to pursue massage as a career and 
attended Ananda School of Massage in Cambridge, MA.
 After practicing privately for a while she opened her own 
massage therapy center called Repose, on Newbury Street in
downtown Boston, which she ran successfully for 17 years.

In 1998 Evelyn and her husband moved to Santa Fe. She took
 a professional sabbatical and deepened her studies of body work
 at the New Mexico Academy of Healing Arts. In 2004 she came 
to High Desert where she has practiced ever since.

Evelyn has trained in all aspects of massage therapy but her style
 remains simple and direct, built on a foundation of Swedish Massage 
to create a rich and varied touch experience. Deep Tissue Massage
 is blended into the treatment to address more specific and problematic tensions in the body. Evelyn is a certified Reflexologist (Hand and Foot Reflexology) and offers stand alone sessions for relaxation and renewal as well as a series of treatments designed to address more chronic issues.

Watching clients leave their massage therapy sessions
lighter and brighter keeps this work new and rewarding
even though I have been doing it most of my adult life.
I feel grateful to have a profession that brings comfort
and rejuvenation to people.”
