Susan Eastman, RN LMT - Susan entered the field of massage after many years experience in nursing, graduating from Spa Tech Institute in Portland in 2003. Her areas of training and interest in bodywork range from deep overall relaxation and energy balancing to a more focused attention to chronic restriction and pain. She has found that massage does not have to be painful to be effective, and that a session needs to follow the client's wishes and the body's wisdom in order to feel wonderful and promote healing. Susan is working, like everyone else, to learn how to live a healthier life - and one of the good habits she's put into place is receiving regular massage!

All sessions are conducted at the USM Portland Campus, Sullivan Complex on 66 Falmouth Street, Portland
