Elsa Vagen, LMT

Elsa began her Counterstrain journey in 2023 after being introduced to the technique during massage school, where a fellow student was already practicing. After just a few sessions, she experienced profound relief from years of chronic headaches and neck pain—something no other approach had been able to touch. That experience completely changed her understanding of the body and its capacity to heal, and she knew right then that she needed to learn this technique. Since then, shes been continually inspired by the precision and effectiveness of Counterstrain. Each session reminds her how intelligent and resilient the body truly is—always seeking balance and alignment; just needing the right conditions to thrive.
