Hi! I am Beth Underdahl-Peirce, licensed massage therapist and founder of Bloomington Therapeutic Massage.
My journey into massage therapy began after graduating from high school. I was not ready for traditional college, and knew that I liked working with people and wanted to do something that would make a positive impact in the world. I had only had one massage in my life but, I truly felt that massage would be something I would enjoy.
I went to massage school so I could help people get out of pain, have less stress, and feel good in their bodies. I know what it’s like to experience chronic neck pain, which is why I am so passionate about helping others find relief.
My neck pain started after years of bad posture as a teenager, from slouching in front of a computer, to dealing with low self-esteem, and ultimately not being in-tune with my body.
Then in college, my pain became chronic and steadily got worse. I modeled in an art class and had to turn my head, look over my shoulder, and hold this pose for 3 hours at a time. My pain continued to worsen after having my first then my second child 5 years later.
Ten years after massage school, these experiences led me to become a physical therapist assistant so I could learn more about the human body and ways to get to the core of the problem, rather than just treating or covering up the symptoms.
Through all of my studies, I’ve been able to find relief from chronic pain so now I can do more of what I love! I spend my time playing with my kids, gardening, biking, knitting, macraméing, hiking, and being active outdoors.
I love helping people find relief from pain so they can live the life they want to live and do the things they want to do! Please reach out to me, I look forward to meeting you soon!
