Erica Keich, LMP (formerly Erica Lambregts, LMP)

Erica graduated from the Brian Utting School of Massage in December, 2002. She has worked in a private practice setting since 2003. Among other modalities, she specializes in deep tissue massage, Swedish massage, injury treatment, trigger point treatment, sports massage, hot stone massage, passive stretching and pregnancy massage.

In addition to doing massage therapy, Erica has taught aerobics classes since January, 2000. She is nationally certified in teaching group fitness through AFAA, the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America. It was her passion for health and fitness that led her to pursue her ultimate career goal of doing what she loves; massage therapy and teaching aerobics. She came to this career after pursuing a more traditional path, having graduated from the University of Washington with a Bachelor's degree in Communications, Broadcast Journalism. Then after spending some time in the corporate world, she realized it was not where she belonged and so she enrolled in massage school.

Erica is thankful for the background and corporate experience that she has as she feel it helps her better relate to her clients/patients, many of whom have corporate jobs. She knows firsthand how the body feels after sitting at a computer day after day, and not always remembering to use a headset when using the telephone. She can also relate to the pressures many corporate environments present.

Erica takes great pride in her work. She finds it important to take time to listen to patients and tailor each massage session to the individual needs of that person on that particular day. She believes that we only get one body so we should try to take good care of it. Massage is such a great way to relieve tension, pain and stress; it compliments an active lifestyle, helps us deal with illness and injury, and just plain feels good!

In her free time, Erica enjoys spending time with her husband and son, as well as cooking, baking, camping, traveling and reading baby, nutrition and fitness related material.
