What to expect for your first appointment…

Wellness by Wright LLC prides itself in providing unique massage therapy services to those of Houston TX. Unlike most massage therapists, Jillian likes to focus on overall wellness instead of just a 60 minute “relaxing” massage. Here, we take things to the next level.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a system developed ancient Chinese people over three thousand years ago. This ancient system has been practiced and perfected since then and has turned into a beautiful way of life that many can use to find total wellness and health.

As a doctoral candidate studying the precious art of TCM, Jillian spreads this wealth of knowledge to her clients in the form of massage therapy. However, with Jillian’s background in Biology Pre-medicine, emergency medicine, and an intense passion for nutrition/wellness, you’ll get much more than a simple massage treatment.

Your first appointment will include a 30 minute interview to get to the bottom of your health concern. We believe that taking the time to get to know our patients is vital in order to come to the right treatment for each unique person. During this time, we will discuss matters of your health from a TCM focus. That means we will ask questions about your sleep, digestion, diet, stress, reproductive health, and many more. You are your own person with a whole life of experiences. Each experience is a memory that your body holds onto. Many experiences create positive changes, but many can create a domino effect of negative changes as well. Our goal is to use TCM in order to get to the root cause of your illness so that you can find a better way to balance and navigate the stressors of life.

Following your interview, we will conduct treatment. Treatment modalities can vary depending on your unique needs. Some examples include acupressure, cupping, guasha (aka scraping), heat or cold therapy, energy healing, deep tissue release, and general swedish massage. These treatments are aimed at restructuring your body to feel “right” again. To break up long standing stagnation in the form of muscle knots. To resurface the things that we hide deep down within our bodies and forget to clean. Like a dirty house, we will do some much needed spring cleaning. All treatments are tailored to the pressure tolerance of the patient and open communication is always maintained throughout.

Generally, with any health concern, pain cannot be healed overnight. Our goal is to provide a coaching system so that you can create a positive lifestyle change. Our muscles are directly connected to our mind via our nervous system. We create habits of pain and imbalance by our lifestyle choices - be it conscious or unconscious. As we go about life, living the same way we always do, we life in a “default” mode where our brains are always telling us how to hold our bodies. Over time, doing something certain way over and over without balance, will create an imbalance… and you guessed it, eventually pain. With coaching, we can discuss the best ways that you can create a new mind-muscle connection to rewire your body to live a more pain-free life. This is a guidance system that will give you homework on how to take care of your newly-healed body. The best person to take care of you is YOU. I am happy to provide the tools necessary to lead you in the right direction.

My coaching system will provide advice on essential nutrition, how to self-massage, exercise, sleep, etc, while using TCM ideals to help you understand what to do next.

The amount of treatments needed will vary depending on the severity of the issue and the drive one has to make changes to their lifestyle. Severe issues may require treatments once or twice a week, whereas maintenance treatments are recommended once per month.

Who can benefit from this type of healing?

The answer is simple: anyone who has a chronic problem that is ready to break the automatic default their lives have turned into. Someone who is ready to make a change but isn’t quite sure what the steps are to get there. This can literally be anyone.

We don’t want to give you a simple “relaxing“ massage. We want to help you embark on your own healing journey. We want to guide you through the adventure of finding ourselves within our bodies via natural healing.

When you’re ready to embark on an exciting, rejuvenating, root-healing adventure, you can schedule an appointment with me.

I’m excited to meet you!
