Heather Buchanan

Hello, I'm Heather, and my journey in massage therapy began in 1999 when I enrolled at The Massage Therapy Institute of Davis. There, I delved into various massage techniques, specializing in Swedish, Sports Therapy, Energy Work, and Lymphatic Massage. My early practice involved working with friends and family, honing my skills and passion for this healing art.

​

My learning journey continued at the National Holistic Institute in San Jose, California, where I expanded my expertise to include Shiatsu, Cupping, and Advanced Chair Massage. I've had the privilege of working with a Chiropractor and at several Spas in Los Gatos.

After returning closer to my family in Sacramento, I found a new home at Hope Wellness Institute, where I took on various roles. I also had the wonderful opportunity to learn Neuromuscular Massage from the renowned teacher Venice Sullivan at The Massage Institute of Davis.

​

I'm a perpetual learner and am always seeking ways to enhance my massage practice.

In addition to my career, I'm a proud parent to two amazing children, Mckenzie (14) and Hunter (13). We love the outdoors and going on exciting adventures. Disneyland is a family favorite whenever we can make the trip.

​

Beyond massage, I'm the Head Coach at Bella Vista High School, overseeing the Colorguard and Dance Teams. My love for performing has led me to participate in various Winterguard and Senior Drum and Bugle Corps groups over the years. To stay active and healthy, I also take a few dance classes.

Thank you for allowing me to share a bit of my journey with you, and I look forward to helping you on your own path to wellness through massage.
