whole body approach
The nervous system is our guide in Deep Tissue Massage. As the nervous system settles, the tissues follow suit and allow for deeper pressure and more profound change. They are not quick to resist attempts at manipulation. Because of this reactive relationship, soothing the nervous system is a foundational goal in our sessions. We integrate relaxation techniques, unique to your body, to maximize the effects of our work. Each technique builds off of the next and we allow the body to guide the work, without forcing change.
myofascial therapies
Cupping
Manual cups are integrated as a tool in our sessions to further customize your experience on the table. Cups may be used in your massage to increase the circulation to a muscle, tissue, or joint. I often use cups to manipulate tissue that has been adhered to bone, muscle, or fascia. And for some, I will integrate the cups to calm your nerves.
stretching
Before or after addressing your major muscle groups, we integrate table thai massage techniques and assisted stretching. This can be an effective way to improve mobility, posture, and body awareness.
Neuromuscular therapies
Deep Tissue
Our whole body approach of integrating nervous system work with full body fascial therapies, allows for a creative deep tissue experience that you can relax through. We follow your body’s patterns and work slowly into the layers of your muscle tissue.
Trigger Point Therapy
We incorporate stagnant pressure, movement, and breathwork into our sessions to encourage the release of active trigger points and adhered tissue cause by overuse or injury.
Haley Bangert
Founder, LMT, Prenatal Specialist, massage educator
Haley Bangert is a Board Certified and Licensed Massage Therapist, Pre & Perinatal Massage Specialist, Massage Therapy Instructor, student, and mother.
Haley's journey into her wellness career began early in life, when she was diagnosed with a nervous system disorder at the age of 8. She spent quite a bit of her early childhood in hospitals and doctor's offices, recognizing the influence that personalized quality care and attention to detail can have on the body. Haley was inspired by practitioners who expressed a sense of curiosity and passion in their work and found this to be most prevalent in holistic medicine practices.
In 2016, Haley began her studies in Integrative Healthcare at Metropolitan State University in her home city of Denver, CO. In 2018, she graduated from the prestigious Massage Therapy program at the Berkana Institute in Longmont, CO under the guidance of her mentor and industry leader, Jill Berkana. Here, Haley learned about the profound impact that human touch can have on the nervous system and the body as a whole. Massage became a foundational medicine in the way that she treated her nervous system, but also in connecting her to a body that she had been disconnected from since childhood. After learning the potential that massage has, Haley became dedicated to refining her craft and sharing it not only through direct touch, but through education.
In 2023, Haley completed her specialized training and certification in Prenatal and Perinatal Massage Therapy under the teachings of Michele Holland and Carole Osborne, pioneers in Pre and Perinatal Massage technique and research. Since completeing her specialization in Natal Massage, Haley has refined her practice to focus on maternal and family health. Coming from a family of 10, she recognizes the impact of an individual's health on the family unit and strives to encourage individual self-care with the intention of creating a broader sense of well-being within the community.
Haley has returned to The Berkana Institute as the core bodywork instructor for the Massage Therapy Foundations II and Prenatal Massage classes. She enjoys sharing her passions for Massage, education, community, Maternal Health, and creativity with massage students entering the field.
Colorado Massage Company opened in August of 2019 with the intention of creating a therapeutic bodywork environment that encourages self love and offers a wellness service that can ripple into the family unit and further, into the larger community through individualized care and education. At it’s core, Colorado Massage Company is a space for the people in our community to enjoy during their week, where they can calm their mind and leave feeling well; and above all else- receive GREAT bodywork.
Haley enjoys working with and learning from all bodies. She takes pride in continuing her education to better serve her clients and further facilitate the healing process. Haley loves feeling great in her body and bodywork is her passion. She is grateful to be sharing the power of touch with you!
