Experienced Massage Therapist and Owner

Aloha!
I’m Birgitt Tierney, the owner of Healing Bodywork LLC and a licensed Massage Therapist. Originally from Germany, I spent over a decade working as a Civil Engineer and Architectural Draftsman in Stuttgart before embarking on a transformative journey in healing arts.
In 2005, I met a Hawaiian teacher who introduced me to the world of Healing Bodywork. After studying under their guidance for 15 years, I discovered a profound understanding of the body, mind, and spirit. This path led me to leave my engineering career and relocate to Oahu.
I earned my degree in Massage Therapy from Kapiolani Community College in 2013, and since then, I’ve been dedicated to helping others through holistic healing practices. My approach to bodywork goes beyond traditional massage. I work with each individual’s unique needs, blending techniques like trigger point therapy and myofascial release with a focus on deeper, firmer pressure. I don’t follow a set modality unless specifically requested, instead using my intuition to guide the healing process.
I believe in treating the body as a whole, assisting in the release of trapped energies and emotions while activating your body’s natural self-healing abilities. To enhance this process, I incorporate high-quality therapeutic essential oils.
When I’m not working, I love spending time with my family and friends, hiking, and enjoying the beach.

About
A relaxed body is a healing body
The Body’s Innate Ability to Heal We live in a fast-paced and stressful world, rarely taking the time to slow down, meditate, or simply pause for a break. Ease has become unfamiliar—we no longer live; we merely survive. When we become trapped in our thoughts, overthinking and worrying, stress and fear take over, disrupting our body’s natural functions. Our breath shortens, restricting the flow of oxygen and blood to our cells, muscles, and vital organs. The human body is an ever-changing organism, adapting daily. No two days are alike. This remarkable vehicle carries us through life, tolerating immense physical and emotional demands. Yet, we often fail to listen to what it truly needs. By the time we feel thirst, we are already dehydrated. By the time we recognize exhaustion, we are overtired, struggling to find rest. When we finally acknowledge pain or discomfort, the underlying issue has often been present for much longer than we realized. We are either in a state of ease—or in dis-ease. Every experience, whether physical or emotional, is stored within the body’s tissues. When we ignore these signals, our cells become depleted and depressed, leading to imbalance and discomfort. However, once we allow ourselves to reconnect, these blockages can be accessed, worked through, and released. The body is deeply interconnected from head to toe. Pain or discomfort in one area may stem from an entirely different source—one we might never have suspected. Healing is a commitment to ourselves—a responsibility to honor our actions and our well-being. It is an ongoing journey, sometimes emotional or painful, but ultimately rewarding, exciting, and deeply fulfilling. A relaxed body is a healing body.
