RELIEF STARTS HERE
Intuitive therapeutic bodywork for chronic neck, shoulder, and upper back tension
Hi, I’m Imelda Nunziato
Licensed Massage Therapist since 2005 and owner of Canyon Massage Therapy.
I began this path after receiving massage therapy to support my recovery from a car accident. The experience inspired me to help others find relief from pain, tension, and stress — and over the years, my work has evolved into something much deeper.
Today, I blend my decades of experience in bodywork with intuitive energy healing and soul-led guidance. Whether you’re seeking relief from physical pain or deeper energetic realignment, I meet you where you are and support your healing on every level.

Healing Beyond the Physical
Specializing in Upper Back, Shoulder, and Neck Relief with Soul-Level Support
If you’re dealing with chronic tension, emotional weight in your shoulders, or a stiff neck that just won’t release, the root may go deeper than muscle. Your body could be holding stress, suppressed emotions, or energetic imprints that are ready to be cleared.
At Canyon Massage Therapy, your session is more than just bodywork. It’s a full-body reset. I combine intuitive touch with powerful energetic tools like Angelic Reiki, spiritual clearing, heart coherence techniques, and intuitive guidance to support not only physical relief but emotional and energetic realignment.
Each session is customized and may include CBD treatments, cupping therapy, aromatherapy, and energy work. These elements work together to help you release tension, restore balance, and Restore balance through therapeutic, intentional work.
You’ll leave feeling lighter, more grounded, and more at home in your body with clarity in your spirit and ease in your breath.

Therapeutic Massage Therapy
Each session is customized and intentional, guided by how your body presents that day. Rather than following a set routine, sessions blend therapeutic techniques to support relief, regulation, and functional balance.
Sessions may include a combination of:
Deep Tissue, Sports Massage, Trigger Point Therapy, Cupping, Reflexology, Hot Stone (as appropriate), Aromatherapy, and Energy Work.
This work is best suited for clients seeking therapeutic, results-oriented bodywork, not a purely relaxation-focused massage.

My Approach
Whether your session emphasizes physical bodywork, energetic support, or a blend of both, each session is intuitively guided and intentionally structured around what your body and nervous system need that day.
I integrate therapeutic massage techniques with energy healing to support physical relief, emotional processing, and nervous-system regulation. My work is grounded in presence and listening rather than following a fixed routine.
Drawing from Angelic Reiki, intuitive perception, and somatic awareness, I create a space where your body can release tension, recalibrate, and realign at its own pace. Some sessions are more physically focused, others more energetically oriented, but all are guided by clarity, respect for the body’s limits, and a commitment to meaningful, lasting support.
This work is best suited for clients who value depth, intention, and integration, rather than a purely relaxation-based experience.

During your first visit, you will be asked questions to find out which body parts you would like focus on and if you have any injuries or chronic pain. We will also confirm the style of massage and pressure you would like to receive. All massages are customized to your needs at that time. You will be required to fill out a health history form, if you haven’t already filled out the form online. It is important to list all health concerns and medications so that we can adapt the session to your specific needs in a safe manner. Lotions or essential oils are used during your massage therapy session, so it is important to list any known allergies you may have on the health history form.

CBD is a non-psychoactive component of the cannabis plant. It has been reported to help reduce pain, inflammation, anxiety, and stress. It will not get you high.
A CBD topical is any cream, lotion, oil, or salve that is infused with CBD and can be applied directly to the skin.
With topical application it is highly unlikely, and close to impossible, for an amount of THC to be absorbed and metabolized by the body and detected in a drug test. Of course, there are circumstances that could change this such as the use of penetration enhancers, transdermal patches, and a higher than legal limit of THC in the product. The CBD topical ointments I use at Canyon Massage Therapy always contain at or below the .3% legal limit of THC.
