Massage therapy in Duluth, Minnesota
Blue Heron is a one-therapist studio in Duluth. Sessions draw on deep tissue, prenatal, sports recovery, cupping and chair massage — combined around what your body is carrying right now.
Services
Most sessions use more than one. We decide together what today's work should be — deeper where you want it, lighter where you don't.
Slow, sustained pressure through the layers that have tightened up. Best for stubborn tension in the back, shoulders and hips.
Side-lying support, cushioning and pressure that change as the weeks go on, so you can stay comfortable at every stage.
Targeted work for training loads and race season — calves, hamstrings, quads and shoulders — to help you get back to it.
Suction that lifts and decompresses tissue where hands alone can't get enough purchase. Marks fade over a few days.
Seated and fully clothed, working the shoulders, neck and upper back in a short, focused session.

The session
We talk first: what's hurting, what you've been doing, and what you want to walk out with. Tell me about injuries, pregnancy, surgery or medications.
Pressure and positioning adjust as we go — deeper where you want it, off where you don't. Say the word at any point and I'll change it.
A few things to carry home: movement, warmth, rest. Small habits that help the work hold between visits.
The studio
The room is set up for one thing: helping you put down what you picked up. Most people arrive straight from work or straight from the trail — either is a fine way to come in.
By appointment only
