Chaney Moore grew up an active youngster 20 minutes from the slopes of Montana but moved to Colorado in 2005 with her family. As someone who has dealt with the effects of mild scoliosis throughout her life, she understood first-hand the heath benefits of massage therapy. After taking an introductory course at Front Range Community College, she knew she had found her calling and became a licensed therapist.

Chaney believes that anyone in the world can benefit from massage, whether it is to relieve stress or help adjust posture. Knowing that many people often turn first to medication for pain management, she takes pleasure in offering an alternative and healthy approach for living with different conditions. Chaney enjoys establishing a relationship with her clients in which she is able to suggest exercises and other lifestyle adjustments to support their massage therapy as well as monitor changes over time.

Outside of her work, Chaney spends time with her husband and two lovable cats. She enjoys hiking, cooking, and knitting. She and her husband look forward to making their home in Longmont soon.

Megan Taggart is passionate about healing, especially for those afflicted by injury. As a competitive gymnast of 13 years, Megan first battled injury just four years into her career when she broke her back. Because of her young age at the time, she couldn’t wear a brace so Megan quickly discovered the healing power of massage therapy. She carried on her passion for gymnastics as a coach, but eventually found her way to the Boulder Massage Therapy Institute to become a licensed therapist.

Megan combines a passion for myofascial release (MFR) work and neuromuscular therapy with her own experience of recovery to help support her clients’ healing journey. Myofascial work allows clients to enter a state of relaxation where they can then receive a deeper level of therapy. Megan loves being a part of the journey to recovery and helping clients sustain their health with an overall improved lifestyle.

Born and raised in Colorado, Megan bounced around all over the state before settling in Longmont. Like a true Coloradan, she’ll be caught skiing in the winter, and hiking, camping, and hunting at any time of year. She’s a long-time mom to a leopard gecko, a tiger salamander, and poodle named Pearl.

Belle Edwards found her way to massage therapy entirely by accident; as a young adult, she was on the path to be a waitress and preferring to remain at least an arm’s length away from other people at all times. A series of fortunate events led her from a weekend couples’ massage workshop (where she fell completely and unexpectedly in love with the study of human anatomy), to the Boulder College of Massage Therapy (where she fell completely and predictably in love with nearly everything else about massage therapy), to a variety of continuing education courses (where she developed perfectly healthy obsessions with things like somatic patterning, prenatal and postpartum massage, kinesiology, and pain neuroscience). Belle has gained valuable knowledge and techniques working in multiple facets of the massage world, including corporate, spas, and at Longmont United Hospital.

Belle’s passion lies in combining elements of different massage modalities and techniques that she has learned over the years to create a relaxing, therapeutic experience customized for each client’s unique goals and tension patterns. Her massage style has been described as slow-paced, intentional, and restorative; her specialty is moderately deep work that incorporates gentle movement and passive stretches to encourage the muscles to soften and lengthen while soothing the nervous system, resulting in an overall feeling of relaxation and ease in the body. Receiving her skillful gift of massage will allow you to truly understand her exceptional talents.

Tania Brewster was born here in Longmont, with a short stint in Southern California for 5 years, she ended up back in Colorado. She has always found peace in genuinely serving others, beginning at a young age massaging her mother in order to decrease stress and relieve pain from working long hours on her feet. The experience of helping someone to overall wholeness was something she couldn't help but reminisce about. Once deciding what she wanted to pursue as a career, the only thing that she was really willing to invest her time and energy into was massage. She hasn't looked back since; it has changed her life more than she ever imagined.

Tania is beyond fascinated with the beauty and complexity of the human body. She feels empowered that, as a massage therapist, she may be of service to those around her in their path of recovery and wellness. Massage is a reminder that we all need one another, to be genuine with one another. Tania believes her purpose is to address all issues, from chronic to acute pains and sensations, and to co-create session plans with clients, to uniquely meet their goals. Whether it is a physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual shift you may be experiencing, massage pierces to the deepest layers. She believes that ultimately, her role as a massage therapist is to assist you and improve your quality of life.

She enjoys working ON the body but most importantly she enjoys working WITH the body through experiences (good or bad).
