Therapeutic Services

Continuum of Colorado’s Therapeutic Services serves children and adults in their own homes with Massage, Music, and Movement Therapies by licensed and board-certified therapists.

What We Do

We employ a variety of Massage, Music, and Movement Therapists that perform in-home therapies as often as requested and needed for children and adults that have been diagnosed with an intellectual and/or developmental disability. All our massage therapists are licensed by the State of Colorado, and the music and movement therapists have completed board certification on a national level.

Massage Therapy

Home-based services performed by a Colorado licensed massage therapist. This service requires a Letter of Recommendation (LOR) from a medical professional and is available to people on the Children’s Extensive Support (CES) and Supported Living Services (SLS) waivers. Massage Therapy is the systematic manipulation of the soft tissues of the body, (including manual techniques of gliding, percussion compression, vibration, and gentle stretching) for the purpose of bringing about beneficial physiological, mechanical and/or psychological changes.

Movement Therapy

Home-based movement services performed by a board-certified Movement Therapist. This service requires a Letter of Recommendation (LOR) from a medical professional and is available to people on the Children’s Extensive Support (CES) and Supported Living Services (SLS) waivers. Movement Therapy works with the family/individual to determine an appropriate goal(s) that will use music and/or dance as a therapeutic tool for the habilitation, rehabilitation, and maintenance of behavioral, developmental, physical, social, communication, pain management, cognition and gross motor skills.

Music Therapy

Home-based music services performed by a board-certified Music Therapist. This service requires a Letter of Recommendation (LOR) from a medical professional and is available to people on the Children’s Extensive Support (CES) and Supported Living Services (SLS) waivers. Music is used within a therapeutic relationship to address the physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of people. After assessing the strengths and needs of each person, the qualified music therapist provides the indicated treatment including creating, singing, moving to, and/or listening to music. Through musical involvement in the therapeutic context, people’s abilities are strengthened and transferred to other areas of their lives. Music therapy also provides avenues for communication that can be helpful to those who find it difficult to express themselves in words. Research in music therapy supports its effectiveness in many areas such as: overall physical rehabilitation and facilitating movement, increasing people’s motivation to become engaged in their treatment, providing emotional support for people and their families, and providing an outlet for expression of feelings.

Who We Are

Angie, MM, MT-BC, Music Therapist

Angie is a board-certified master’s level Music Therapist who has been with Continuum of Colorado since 2017.

Jaclyn, Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT)

Jaclyn has been with Continuum of Colorado as a licensed Massage Therapist since April of 2023. She found her passion for massage through her own experience with its healing properties after a surgery (where other methods failed to help her recover). Her passion for helping others inspired her to complete her hours for licensure and a certification in neuromuscular massage therapy.

Lauren, Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT)

Lauren has been a licensed Massage Therapist with Continuum of Colorado since February of 2023. She is certified in chair massage, prenatal massage, myofascial techniques, deep tissue, sports massage, Swedish massage, and is currently completing certification in Trauma Touch Therapy and oncology. A takeaway from the pandemic for Lauren was, “I realized that chiropractic care and massage therapy were really important self-care for me and that I was really passionate about helping people feel much better in their bodies. So, I took steps to apply for Massage Therapy school in order to provide the kind of care that I have received in the past and present to maintain my own health.”

Seth, Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT)

Seth graduated from the Colorado Institute of Massage Therapy (CIMT) in the fall of 2022. He is a Licensed Massage Therapist specializing in Neuromuscular Therapy to help his clients find relief and relaxation. Since joining Continuum of Colorado in November of 2022, he has been able to combine his passion for helping others with his expertise in massage therapy. From a young age, he felt a strong desire to make a difference, especially in the lives of those with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and he is grateful to be able to do so in his current role.

Sadie, MT-BC, Music Therapist

Sadie received her Bachelor of Music in Music Therapy from Wartburg College in 2020 and completed her internship and board certification in 2021. Sadie moved to Colorado and joined the Continuum of Colorado team in 2023. She specializes in Neurologic Music Therapy. Much like other therapies, there are different types of music therapy and theoretical orientations that music therapists draw from. Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT) focuses on understanding how music is processed in the brain and how it can influence or change non-musical brain function and behavior. Using a research-guided system, standardized techniques are applied to meet client needs. These techniques are adaptable, and treatment is individualized based on each person’s musical preferences and goals. Sadie states, “I chose a career in music therapy because I love music, and I am passionate about helping people in a holistic way.” When Sadie isn’t providing Music Therapy she is working on earning her master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling through Adams State University.
