Vanessa Hartman

Vanessa Hartman has been a practicing massage therapist since graduating from the Heart of the Valley School of Massage, in Corvallis Oregon, in 2010. After getting licensed she decided to do deeper training and certifications in the Arvigo Techniques of Maya abdominal massage and Holistic Pelvic Care™ to follow her passion of women focused healing. In 2002 Vanessa apprenticed in the Wise Woman Tradition which set her on a life long healing path including herbalism and ritual.

 

Vanessa has had additional training in the cranial sacral system, birth doula work, cancer patient care, hot stone, abdominal self care, and classes her husband Peter (also working at HDHM) taught about mechanical and nuero-muscular techniques. These trainings helped her become a multi layered practitioner. Vanessa is proud of her ability to weave various therapeutic techniques with nourishing touch.  

Since returning to New Mexico in 2020 Vanessa has been providing spa massage and specialty treatments. She is now delighted to be working at High Desert Healing and Massage to offer full body therapeutic work as well as specialty abdominal and pregnancy/fertility focused treatments.

Vanessa enjoys a full life including movement classes, tea, ritual and gardening as well as caring for her husband, dog and mother-in-law.
