BETH LABAUGH, BS, LMT
Since 1990, my practice has been devoted exclusively to treating chronic pain, muscle tension, and injuries with a variety of effective massage and bodywork techniques.
My interest in massage evolved gradually due to a childhood injury which led to severe nerve and muscle pain over the next decade. I consulted various health practitioners, but got my best pain relief from deep massage. After receiving my BS in Agronomy, I attended the Downeast School of Massage in 1988, have since attended more than 1200 classroom hours in specialized techniques including Nemerov Technique, Neuromuscular Therapy, Myofascial Massage, Structural Bodywork, Mulligan Mobilization, Kineseotaping, Muscle Energy Technique, CranioStructural Integration, and Injury Evaluation and Treatment, and others.
My goals include providing long term pain relief by evaluating and eliminating muscle spasm caused by compensating for old and recent injuries, correcting underlying postural and alignment problems, establishing more functional joint and body movement patterns, and giving clients tools to continue their improvement at home. Client education is a major focus. If you can understand what is not working efficiently in your body, and are given a few precise techniques to change that, you can help yourself gradually improve, and even get out of acute pain episodes all by yourself. This helps you feel better physically, but is also helpful in reducing anxiety by reducing dependence on outside help.
I love seeing people who have "tried everything", get back to work, sports, and pain free movement, and ultimately acquire the knowledge and confidence to take care of themselves.

Maggie Stickle, BS, MA, LMT
I am a 2000 graduate of the Downeast School of Massage's, Swedish, Shiatsu, and Sports massage programs. I have since become certified in KineseoTaping, Lymphatic massage, and Myoskeletal Alignment Technique, as well as completing several hundred hours of education in other complementary continuing education.
Before studying massage therapy, I earned a BS in Education and an M.A. in Counseling from The Ohio State University. My experience in these fields inform my work as a massage therapist, giving me a deep appreciation for the body/mind connection. I believe that what we experience, both emotionally and physically, is translated through the body. Negative emotions, physical injuries, repetitive use, and postural strain all take a similar toll on the body, resulting in postural distortions that give rise to chronic pain.
My decision in 2002 to become part of Kennebec Therapeutics cemented my inclination to be truly results oriented. I enjoyed my 18 years working full time, but am now winding down after a long and gratifying practice and only practicing Manual Lymphatic Drainage technique on a limited basis.
