Burcu has been passionately pursuing her career in holistic healing since 2007 after graduating from Helma Institute of Massage Therapy. Receiving regular massage therapy sessions herself at school and seeing the benefits and healing from her own injuries, Burcu wanted help others with their chronic pain and stress.
In addition to being a Licensed Massage Therapist with over a decade of experience, she is also a Birth Doula, Infant Massage Educator, Reiki Master, and ACE Massage Cupping Practitioner. Burcu is trained in many modalities of massage therapy, including deep tissue, prenatal & postnatal massage, acupressure, myofascial release, neuromuscular therapy, joint mobilization, and spontaneous muscle release technique (SMRT).
In her sessions she integrates multiple massage techniques to treat a variety of disorders including whiplash, tension headaches, repetitive strain injuries, chronic stress, postural dysfunction, insomnia and more. She offers expert massage therapy for pregnant clients and has trained as a Doula with DONA International to expand her prenatal care knowledge. Burcu is a firm believer that the best therapies are those that support and work in harmony with each being’s natural ability to heal it self and maintain wellbeing.
After more than 8 years as an LMT at Red Moon, Burcu no longer maintains regular hours with us, but she does come in on occasion as a visiting therapist.
