Welcome to Inclusive Massage Therapy of Tampa Bay! My name is Sylver (they/them) and my goal at Inclusive Massage Therapy here in St. Petersburg and Tampa area is to create a safe space for everyone to receive the benefits of massage therapy, MPS therapy and SRT in an environment that caters to their individual experience and needs. 

I have been a licensed massage therapist since 2012 and deeply believe in the life-changing power of massage therapy. I also have 13 years of experience working with Functional Doctors, Chiropractors, Physical Therapists, Personal Trainers, and the Spa industry. My approach is unique in that each session is fully customizable across various modalities and techniques that are tailored to meet the individual needs of your mind and body in its current state. Therapeutic massage is an essential part of my practice as it aligns with my passion for helping people live comfortably in their bodies by reducing chronic and acute pain (and the anxiety/stress it causes), increasing mobility, and improving their quality of life. 

My passion for pain reduction and improving quality of life comes from personal experience, I have what is known as Chiari Malformation which is a rare malformation of the cerebellum. This causes brain tissue to extend into my spinal canal and results in a variety of symptoms and discomfort. I have learned how important it is to lower the cortisol levels (Stress hormone) to combat chronic pain, which has caused me to develop a great appreciation for the benefits of caring for the body and supporting its needs. 

This is the reason I am so passionate about incorporating Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS) into my sessions, by activating the vagus nerve I help facilitate the body shifting from your sympathetic nervous system (SNS) (flight or fight) into your parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) (your rest & digest healing system). Scar Release Therapy (SRT) is important, as it constantly simulates your SNS until it is repolarized to not do so.
