Steven Lightfoot, Hair Stylist / Motivated by an approach to hair design that puts his clients’ unique personalities and needs first, Steven – whose training and aptitude make him just as comfortable crafting avant garde precision-cuts as clean, no-fuss business styles – treats every hair design as an opportunity. An opportunity to help his clients further the larger goal of which their hair style is just one part. Sometimes this goal is the creation of a whole new persona, sometimes it’s the improvement of an existing one – or any point in between. The bottom line is always the same: your hair is the part of your appearance others will notice first, so it’s important; but it’s also the part that’s most malleable. Steven Lightfoot will take the hair you have, and make it the hair you want. / personal appointments: 509.701.7319

Laurie Webber, Structural Integration & Craniosacral Therapy / Laurie’s passion for massage therapy is a result of her years spent as a competitive athlete. Looking for a way to reduce her recovery time after athletic events, her practice of receiving regular massages eventually led her to forgo the pursuit of her Master’s Degree in botany in favor of the study of massage. After graduating in 1991, Laurie began my practice as a licensed massage therapist with a focus on other athletes. Over the past 18 years, her practice has expanded to include such healing modalities as trigger point therapy, myofascial release, prenatal massage, structural integration, & cranial-sacral therapy. Laurie offers each client a choice of relaxation or therapeutic massage. If a client chooses relaxation massage, she blends Swedish massage, cranial-sacral therapy, gentle trigger point, with flower essences added (if desired). Therapeutic massage is the best choice for clients seeking relief from chronic pain or acute injury. Each of Laurie’s clients are supported through his or her healing journey in an attentive, respectful & knowledgeable manner. Laurie believes in the body’s innate healing ability, & encourages a collaborative relationship with each individual. / personal appointments: 503.891.0148 or email her at lwebberlmt@hotmail.com
