Meet Our Massage Team

Hi! My name is Mary Torain.  As a Certified Massage Therapist with an Associates Degree of Applied Science, I have the opportunity to provide people with healing touch and relaxation. I graduated in December 2005 from HTI of Kansas City, Missouri. I chose to pursue Massage Therapy as a career because I truly believe that it’s a great benefit to anyone wanting to maintain a healthy lifestyle. With chiropractic & massage together, we assist people’s bodies to heal themselves. On a personal level, I practice alternative ways of healing, with exercise, taking natural vitamins and eating healthy. I am very excited to meet you, and I look forward to helping you become the best you possible, and assisting you with improving your health & lifestyle.

Gina Durkes - Massage Therapist

Hi, my name is Gina Durkes, Certified Massage Therapist at The Chiropractic Experience in Lawrence. I completed my training with The American Academy of Massage Therapy where I received my massage certification in 2006.   I decided to become a massage therapist while attending The University of Saint Mary in Leavenworth, KS on a basketball scholarship, and quickly realized that as a serious athlete, just how important it is to take care of your muscles.  Since becoming a massage therapist I have been blessed to work with people of all ages and conditions, from 8-year olds to 80-year olds, and pregnant women to people in wheel chairs.  I have always been committed to keeping myself healthy with regular exercise and healthy eating habits, so helping my clients obtain the best possible health and wellness is an incredible feeling. I look forward to meeting you and learning how I can help you obtain optimal wellness.

Erin Parr - Massage Therapist

Hello, my name is Erin Parr.  I'm just thrilled to be included among such talented wellness practitioner at The Chiropractic Experience.  In 2003, I received a degree in Body Somatic Therapy from the Midwest Institute of Natural Healing in Kansas City, Missouri.  At the forefront of alternative healing, Body Somatic Therapy is a unique method of total body integration.  This work restructures, realigns, and re-educates the body, resulting in health and wholeness.  Some of the healing modalities I incorporate into my massage technique include breathing exercises, trigger point and cranial sacral therapies, reflexology, stretching, and deep tissue muscular rehabilitation.  I am a certified Reiki practitioner, and have been studying essential oil therapies for almost ten years.  Along with massage, I enjoy yoga, baking, writing, planting flowers and gardening.  As a bodyworker, I am committed to attaining positive results with all of my clients.  I believe every person we meet comes into our lives for a reason, and I am looking forward to meeting YOU.
