I believe building strength and finding peace in the body, mind and spirit is one of the most important and beneficial journeys anyone can take in their life. Between inhale and exhale, the past and future, profound moments of healing are so often found in the gentle pauses that meet us in the present.

I started that very journey over a decade ago after a major life transition and a complex PTSD diagnosis. Along the way, I met others like me on their own journeys toward building their strength while cultivating, some for the first time, a relationship with themselves and with their bodies. I will always be grateful to them and others who served as guides along the way and I hope to serve as that healing facilitator to others now.

My name is Erin Littlewood. I am a Licensed Massage Therapist, Certified Personal Trainer credentialled in women’s fitness and wellbeing, Certified Aromatherapist, Reiki Master, Sound Healer and Foot Reflexologist with a culminated decade’s worth of experience and over 2000 hours of education and professional training in holistic aromatherapy, bodywork and massage, personal training, energy, sound and crystal healing modalities collectively through the American College of Healthcare Sciences, Body Wisdom School of Massage, AromaGnosis, The Institute of Traditional Herbal Medicine and Aromatherapy, and NASM.

In all modalities, I meet everyone where they are in their stage of life and health and provide for them a safe, intentional and therapeutic experience grounded in compassion, mindful presence, and gentle strength. I value science and spirit in my approach, extending a hand to both allopathic and holistic approaches to health and wellness. I trust in the healing powers of color, sound, aroma, touch and presence and incorporate these elements into all bodywork and massage appointments. When you step into my Clive studio, you will be greeted by the full spectrum of color.

My massage modalities include: Swedish; Craniosacral Therapy; Lymphatic Drainage Technique; Myofascial Release; Positional Release and Foot Reflexology. While I incorporate deep work where it may be needed, my approach to the body is slow, mindful, and has been described by some of my clients as “quietly powerful”.

My full range of services are provided in my Clive studio by appointment only. I also practice Foot Reflexology and AromaReiki at Sacral Ground Massage and Wellness in Oskaloosa and personal training at Legacy Fitness in Ankeny, Iowa.
