I started Balance for Unity to create a place dedicated to providing the best quality of service while also fostering friendships within the massage community. This means that while I may not necessarily be able to provide every massage modality, I know plenty of people to refer you to if I don't offer what you are looking for.
My name is Lacey Spaulding, and I have been a licensed massage therapist since 5/25/2016. Aside from massage therapy, my hobbies are reading, writing, hiking, research, baking, and spending time with my little family. I got into massage because I wanted to be able to help people, and it has been an amazing fit. Honestly, I love working as a licensed massage therapist and helping others. I firmly believe massage therapy can benefit everyone, and it has truly helped to enrich my life.
I attended Idaho State University's Massage Therapy Program where I was required to learn various techniques and safety procedures in order to become a fantastic therapist. Afterward, I completed an internship at Lost River's Hospital where I worked with both physical therapy and chiropractic patients and hospital staff. These experiences helped me to gain more experience in researching and working on various conditions so that I could better serve my clients. I worked on post surgical conditions such as residual pain from back surgery, spinal cord injury, carpal tunnel syndrome, piriformis syndrome, herniated disks, and more!
