Services
Therapeutic Massage
Our therapeutic massage services combine deep tissue techniques with personalized treatment plans to address chronic pain, injury recovery, and stress-related conditions. With nationally certified therapists having over 20 years of experience, we use evidence-based approaches to improve circulation, increase flexibility, and promote overall wellness. Each session incorporates assessment and discussion to ensure optimal results for conditions ranging from sports injuries to trauma recovery.
Craniosacral Therapy
This specialized therapy uses gentle techniques to release tension in the central nervous system through the craniosacral system. Certified through the Upledger Institute, our practitioners address migraines, TMJ dysfunction, and trauma-related conditions by improving the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. Sessions help restore natural rhythms and promote self-correction of physiological imbalances.
Myofascial Release
Our myofascial release techniques target connective tissue restrictions causing chronic pain and limited mobility. Using sustained pressure and stretching, we address conditions like fibromyalgia and repetitive strain injuries. This approach helps restore tissue elasticity and improve range of motion through both direct and indirect methods.
Neuromuscular Therapy
This targeted approach addresses muscle pain through precise pressure on trigger points and nerve pathways. Certified in Niel Asher techniques, we treat conditions like frozen shoulder and tennis elbow by releasing muscle knots and improving nerve communication. Sessions focus on postural assessment and correcting muscular imbalances.
Visceral Manipulation
Certified through the Barral Institute, our visceral manipulation techniques address restrictions in organ mobility that contribute to pain and dysfunction. By gently repositioning internal organs and their connective tissues, we help alleviate chronic back pain, digestive issues, and post-surgical adhesions. This approach improves organ function and reduces compensatory movement patterns.

Bonnie has awesome hands, I left feeling energized. Unfortunately I went and ruined it with some heavy lifting.

I have had massages by both Bonnie and Tracy, and they are both amazing! I have a lot of health problems, and the team at Taos Therapeutic Massage has improved my quality of life immensely! I adore their staff and location. They are lovely people and there is no better place in Taos for relaxation and rejuvenation! They even helped my husband after his traumatic brain injury. I give them my highest recommendation.

I have been seeing Bonnie for years and she is a true HEALER. The new massage therapist Tracy is awesome as well. I highly recommend them!

Highly recommend. I've had many massages in my life, though rarely have I found any as connected to his work as is Tracy MacCallum. Not only was the experience very calming but more so the human connection with attention to detail to the client's needs and sensitivities.

Bonnie is healer of the first order and she really listens. She really took the time to ask about my needs and my health history which led to a much more informed and enjoyable experience. Speaking of experience, Bonnie has got it in spades. She is a constant student of the healing arts and continues to learn (check out her bio). I've had low back and hip pain for about 2 years now. Bonnie worked slowly and subtly, but the results were profound. I've had better range of motion and less pain since my session. I've had tons of bodywork and I highly recommend a session with Bonnie McNairn. I'm already looking forward to my next session.

Bonnie and Tracy are miracle workers. They have restored my family back to health after a serious car accident and we will never forget how wonderful they are. Everyone should go here!

This is massage for connoisseurs! Out of all the massages I have received over the many years, the therapists here have helped me the most. I am a very satisfied recipient. These masters of bodywork have years of study they bring to the table, and they keep learning more through further trainings. Whenever my sciatica or migraines act up, I can get relief here. I am also grateful for the preventative stretches and Yoga postures they have taught me as part of my treatment plan they developed. Clean and professional, their office has a full-time receptionist, who will even bill certain types of insurance!

Bonnie McNairn has one of the best combination of skills as a massage therapist that I have ever received. She has a unique ability to be specific and intuitive at the same time. She consistently got to all the places that needed to be worked. Her cranial sacral and deep tissue skills, along with a nurturing touch and expertise in Swedish kept her at the top of my list of therapists for years when we lived in the same town.
I still miss her massages! She is professional in every sense of the word, allowing me to enjoy my time "on the table". I can highly recommend her as one of the highest quality and best massage experiences you'll ever receive.

Bonnie McNairn is a gifted massage therapist and healer who has been helping my whole family for the past 15 years in Taos. She never ceases to amaze me as she intuitively finds all the sore places on my body that need work. She has helped me recover from major surgeries, and become pain free. She has helped me recover from a day of hard gardening and become pain free. I know she is helping me to age gracefully, and I am thankful to have her.

A mechanical injury to my left elbow and right shoulder the previous winter had slowly sapped me of the strength of my upper body. My move from Boston, and its four day car journey, worsened the situation to where I could scarcely steer without pain. Upon arriving in Taos, serendipity allowed me to find Bonnie, an intuitive and intelligent healer who worked through fascial memory and traumatized muscles to restructure their alignment, restore order, and permit natural healing.
My strength has returned!
Periodic sessions with her now help maintain this older body through the minor mishaps of daily living. She is a consummate professional, one to whom I have unreservedly recommended family members and friends.

Just got done with an hour and a half massage from Bonnie and not only was it extremely relaxing, but highly therapeutic as well. This is my 3rd time seeing Bonnie and I found her by googling "best massage therapist in Taos"...(need I say more). I went to school for massage therapy and besides Bonnie, the best massage therapist that I knew was my teacher. I'm somewhat of a massage snob because of my training, but it's more then that.
It's comforting when someone knows the muscles they're working with and can manipulate them in such a way where you notice pain relief. For me, it's not just about relaxation, it's about healing through awareness of the body with all its different functions. You can tell Bonnie is skillfully trained and in tune with her craft. I trust Bonnie. She makes me feel like I'm in good hands and that is most important to me when I ask for specific things to be worked on. She's got a great presence and a cozy little place that I will continue to go to to experience true body work! :)

Bonnie has just the right combination of intuition, skill, technique and experience as a massage therapist. I have received a lot of bodywork from many practitioners over the past 30 years, and while it's great to find any one of these qualities in a massage therapist, to find all of them in this combination is a rare gift.
