Move Better Healing Therapies

Overview

Move Better Healing Therapies is a holistic healing practice specializing in somatic experiencing therapy, trauma-informed functional training, and orthopedic bodywork, rather than traditional sauna facilities. Founded in 2016 by Tiffany “Hutch” Hutchens, MA, LMT, CPT, it emphasizes moving better and hurting less through integrated physical and emotional healing. The overall atmosphere is compassionate, client-centered, and nature-inspired, fostering curiosity, innate wisdom, and nervous system recalibration. Clients experience gentle movements, guided explorations, creative expression, and therapeutic touch in settings like the office, online, nature, or home, promoting a shift from stress and dysregulation to confident embodiment.

Notes

• What Makes It Special: Unlike standard gyms or spas, Move Better uniquely blends somatic practices (inspired by traumahealing.org) with functional training, addressing physical hurdles (e.g., joint replacements) and emotional ones (e.g., trauma) compassionately. Hutch’s personal passion—creative expression, nature exploration with her Australian Shepherds—infuses sessions with authenticity. The Body Blog empowers self-healing with practical tips (e.g., anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric/ginger, optimal sleep positions). Ideal for those feeling stuck, it’s a thru-line of Hutch’s career: equipping clients to break cycles and express their bodies confidently.
