“Massage helped me recover from many injuries growing up and as a professional dancer. I strongly believe in the power of touch to heal bodies and spirits, and I love being a conduit of that for my clients. I love connecting with people and helping them build a stronger connection with their own body, whether that's spending an hour relaxing through touch or exploring patterns of pain, proprioception, and interoception.”

Abbey is passionate about the profound healing that can happen when people allow their bodies to relax and the importance of touch in modern society.  As a professional dancer, Abbey was introduced to how powerful touch can be; touch is an integral part of learning and developing body awareness in dance, an artistic and storytelling device, and beneficial for injury recovery and prevention. After retiring from dance, Abbey acutely felt the absence of touch in her life and its effects on both her physical and mental health. This pushed her toward practicing massage therapy, where she can use touch every day to help people move more comfortably.

She meets each client where they are at, while using a blend of Western and Eastern modalities including Swedish massage, Tui Na, Thai massage, Shiatsu, deep tissue, myofascial release, stretching techniques, and sports massage. Abbey is certified in Structural Integration. She loves incorporating this approach in her sessions to help dancers, athletes, and other movers to discover deeper connections and more spaces within their body in order to move more intelligently.

I was given a gift certificate for a massage at Red Moon Wellness. I booked an appointment online and was assigned to Abby. Let me tell you, I didn’t know what to expect, but the massage I got, was amazing. Abby asked me how much pressure she should apply on my body, and I said I wanted a deep tissue massage, being that I have back pain and get muscle spasms. Abby was amazing, God bless her hands. I would recommend you experience it for yourself. I was very satisfied with the service. The receptionist was very polite and the place was clean and inviting

My experience at Red Moon Wellness was amazing. All the employees were so kind and helpful! The space was also so beautiful and clean. I had a holistic massage appointment with Abby and she was incredible. She really took the time to listen to what I wanted done and find the areas that were troubling me. She guided me through the massage as well as some stretches and exercises. I felt so comfortable with her. At the end of the massage she even provided me with stretches I can do at home and some outside resources. She was so knowledgeable I really had a great experience. Thank you so much Abbey!

Abbey at Red Moon Wellness is the best! I am so impressed with her. Both times that I’ve been in she has tailored my massage to fit my needs at the time. She is incredibly knowledgeable, listens intently and ensures that every step is at your comfort level. Will be coming back here!

I finally had the pleasure of a 60 minute (not enough!) massage with the highly recommended and amazing Abbey Hurlbert! Referred by my physical therapist, Abbey worked with me to alleviate pain, stress, and tension from my neck and shoulders. I have chronic arthritic pain and Abbey was able to loosen everything up and improve the range of motion in my neck and shoulders. She also made very helpful suggestions specific to my problem areas. The wellness center itself is lovely and inviting, clean, and filled with friendly and supportive staff. I will be back soon! Cannot recommend wonderful Abbey enough! She is extremely warm, knowledgeable, and attentive! Excellent!
