Haley Winter

I’ve been dealing with chronic shoulder pain and varying degrees of frozen shoulder in both shoulders for over a year now. One of my New Year’s resolutions was to be pain-​free every day, something that has not happened for me in a very long time. I’ve worked with osteopaths, acupuncturists, Pilates and yoga teachers, and western medicine doctors, and all have helped to some degree. But thanks to a recommendation from one of the teachers at my yoga studio, today I got a massage from Haley Winter, who has a deep and acute understanding of shoulder injuries.
I cannot tell you how different my body feels after our hour-​long session today. He is masterful in his understanding of physiology and immediately diagnosed exactly which muscles were problematic – something that *no one* had done to my satisfaction. By the end of the session I’d picked up a few inches of range of movement, which was utterly shocking in the most wonderful possible way. Tonight on the way home in the car, I had to turn on the overhead light, which involves twisting and reaching back and up – something I have not been able to do in a year. And I was able to turn on that light without pain and without even *thinking* about it. That in itself was amazing. Thank you Haley! I look forward to continuing this process.

I have had a dozen or more massages by Haley over the last 9 months and always leave feeling like I’ve been unwrapped from a straight jacket — even when coming in for a «maintenance» massage! Haley understands muscle mechanics and the geography of the body and uses that knowledge and understanding to help unravel muscles that are overused or chronically tight — from subtle to deep tissue. I can’t imagine any body that wouldn’t benefit from a massage from him. Thank you, Haley!

I’ve been seeing Haley for the past few months due to some particularly tenacious tension headaches. They started years ago in grad school, and have become progressively worse over the years. When I started seeing Haley, my former massage therapist had done all she could do for me and I was at a stage where I couldn’t exercise at all without triggering a 48-​hour long headache. Haley is the *first and only* practitioner that has ever been able to stop my headaches in their tracks. He’s also been much more thorough in helping me pinpoint where they actually stem from and takes extra time at the end of the massage to go through stretches, changes in posture, etc. All of this is helping maintain my muscles in a happy, relaxed, no-​tension state. I usually get 2 – 4 of these whopping headaches a month, and as of this writing, I’ve been headache free for the last 6 weeks. Haley is intuitive, incredibly knowledgable about musculature and anatomy, and his practice is thorough, patient. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

I am the pickiest person when it comes to massage. A massage therapist myself for over 12 years, it is hard to find someone who understands the body with precision, grace, empathy and a magical healing touch. Haley is all this and more! I felt so relaxed and safe in his care and constantly amazed at his ability to find the root cause of my tension and unwind it perfectly. I am so glad I found him and already booked a massage a week for the next month as a treat to myself. I hesitated to tell the world how great he is since he books up in advance and getting an appointment requires planning. Don’t hesitate! If you want an excellent therapist call Haley.

Haley is one of the best therapists I know. His knowledge of anatomy and ability to recognize anatomical trains of tension in the body is excellent. He works really deeply which I appreciate and can personally relax to, but I also need to be prepared for his style of massage when I walk through the door.

Superb massage that delivered results. Talented beyond his years and born with the touch. Take your tight muscles and makes them smooth again.

(OK, so it turns out that I am «poly,» but only when it comes to massage therapists! As of the past year, I now have a second main man when it comes to getting my kinks out, so to speak.)
Haley is amazing. My chiropractor, the amazing Kenda Burke, recommended him to me, and I try to see him every 6 weeks. I’m a dog walker who gave up a juicy ($) desk job to became a dog walker/​boarder because of pretty intense back problems. Now that I walk dogs and get regular body work, my back’s doing a lot better, but sometimes I have shoulder issues (from lifting dogs and dogs pulling on leashes – something we are always working on!).
For 60 or 90 minutes, I forget about my aches and pains except to tell Haley where they are. He has an amazing ability to zero in on my problems and after I leave him, my 42-​year-​old bod seems to be functioning more like it did when I was half my age.
Haley, thanks for all your TLC. I’ll see you in a couple weeks – can’t wait!

I recently received a massage from Haley and it was wonderful!
I am a professional dancer who has received bodywork my whole life
so I can be pretty picky when it comes to choosing a massage therapist.
Haley knows exactly where to go to relieve built up tension without me having to say too much and he definitely pays attention to adapting the amount of pressure needed to suit your needs.
His space is simple, comfortable, and incredibly soothing. The icing on the cake is that he is very personable and has a sweet personality. I was impressed and would recommend his services in a heartbeat!
