Welcome to the Team!

We are pleased to welcome Amber ValleLara to the CHF team as a new Massage Therapist. 

With 13 years of experience as a massage therapist, Amber is an expert in the field. Her work experience ranges from spas to chiropractic offices including Sports Rehab Therapy, Pregnancy, Deep Tissue, Swedish firm, and Trigger Point Massage.

Why Massage Therapy? "Bringing healing hands to open hearts, creating a unique experience in an expanding field. I've always been interested in working with people who are in need. After realizing blood makes me queasy, I looked into other careers and fell head over heels for what Massage Therapy is all about."

Available Hours:

Monday, Wednesday and Friday: 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Saturday 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. (every other Saturday)
