Licensed Massage Therapist
Certified Chiropractor and Acupuncture Assistant

There are those moments…quiet, magical moments, that are precious and profound all at once. When we bring ease and comfort to another soul, something inside ourselves shifts and we step into an experiential way of walking in this world.

My name is Deidre A. Baker and this magical moment happened for me at one of the toughest times in my life, I was 16 and my mom was struggling with Multiple Sclerosis.

I graduated High School in 2004 and continued watching what massage was doing for my mom, I knew becoming a Massage Therapist would be one of the most rewarding ways to open the doorway to a new way of healing. I then attended The Denver School of Massage Therapy. I completed 815 hours of training, a cadaver lab and 90 days working in a hands-on clinic graduating in the Spring of 2006.

Over the course of the last 15 years I moved from Colorado to Arizona and continued to hone my skills and better my training to establish and create one of a kind treatments. These treatments are customized to meet the individual needs of each client. I use a variety of techniques to create balance throughout the body and work to get you back to a healthier, happier lifestyle.

I am looking forward to meeting you and I can’t wait to be apart of your journey to a happier healthier you!
