Elizabeth Priddis, LMT

Background

From childcare, to the service industry, and home hospice care for my father, my life has always revolved around caring for others. While I had originally intended to go into the health industry, massage therapy was not on my radar until I began working as a receptionist at a massage clinic. I was amazed to see the physical, mental, and emotional change clients experienced through their bodywork sessions. Massage therapy has since become an invaluable, healing tool that I am blessed to be able to share with my local community.

Philosophy

Touch can mean many different things to each of us. I tend not to believe in the phrase "no pain, no gain" as I feel it can often do more harm than good. My goal in a session is to provide intuitive care through gentle healing and open communication with my client.

Education, License, and Certifications

I completed a 650 hour professional licensing program through Port Townsend School of Massage. I am trained in Swedish, deep tissue, clinical treatment and prenatal massage with a special interest in the latter two.

What is Cygnus?

Cygnus Massage Therapy is a massage studio that is owned and operated by Elizabeth Priddis, LMT

The studio is located on our modest 'property in progress' on Clear Creek Road in Silverdale, WA. The property has been in my husbands family for several generations and we are fortunate enough to call it our home while being able to create our own little oasis.

The name Cygnus is inspired entirely by my Dad who passed in 2018. While I did not realize it at the time I began persuing massage therapy as a career, my Dad is one of the main reasons I sought out such a healing profession. He survived a cancer diagnosis in his early 20s, but unfortunately experienced a myriad of illnesses in his mid-later years which caused him a great deal of pain. Being able to help care for him is what made me realize how much comfort and relief a gentle touch can truly mean to someone who is in pain. Cygnus, on its own, has two different meanings. It is Latin for swan and it is a constellation. To me, it means so much more...My Dad's nickname for me was Swan and spending time staring at constellations was something the two of us always did together. I wanted a name that would be a small tribute to my Dad but also serves as a reminder of my reason why I started this career: to provide intuitive care and healing through gentle touch.
