About our Logo

For our logo, we highlight a Nautilus shell.  The Nautilus is a nocturnal creature that spends most of its time in the deep ocean.  It grows into increasingly larger chambers throughout its life and is a symbol for renewal and expansion. At Madsen Massage, we aim to help you on your journey through pain relief, relaxation and healing, so that you can leave feeling refreshed, expanded and better than when you came in.

Nautiluses are living members of the subclass nautiloidea, and are often considered “living fossils,” as they have survived relatively unchanged for millions of years.   

For many years, the spiral shape of the Nautilus shell has been thought to be an example of mathematics in nature through its close resemblance to the “Golden Ratio.” Although it is not an exact golden ratio, there does exist a beautiful spiral in it’s shape.  A golden spiral can be created by starting with a rectangle in which the ratio of a rectangle between its width and length is the golden ratio.  The rectangle can be separated into a square and a similar rectangle. If you partition this newest rectangle in the same way and continue connecting the corner of the squares indefinitely, the result with be a spiral shape closely resembling the nautilus shell.    

There are numerous examples of the golden ratio and spirals in human beings, nature and the world around us.  Our DNA is a double-helix spiral shape, as are spiral galaxies, flower petals, hurricanes, human faces, etc.  Although the golden ratio does not account for everything in the universe, it certainly reveals itself if you look around.  At Madsen Massage, see the beautiful connections and synchronicities between ourselves, our clients and the world around us. 

History of the Business

From Nina-

“Madsen Massage Therapy” began as “Nina Madsen Massage Therapy” back in 2010 in a small, shared room in the Crow Creek Office Building on Brookside. I started with cream, a table, sheets, a curtain, and some music—and that was it. I put every penny earned back into the business and slowly watched it grow, even when there were only a few appointments a month. I kept believing in myself and my dreams, just like my parents always taught me.

In 2016, following a fire and necessary structural repairs at Crow Creek, the noise from construction made it clear I needed a quieter home for my practice. I relocated to Elixir Skincare Studio on 16th and Boston. Shortly after, I officially incorporated as Madsen Massage Therapy, LLC and hired my first massage therapist to help care for our growing client family.

By 2018, we needed even more space. Right around the corner stood “The Manhattan.” Being from the Northeast, the name initially struck me as ironic, but the moment I stepped inside, I knew it was perfect. With two treatment rooms, a spacious lobby, and just enough room for a stackable washer and dryer, I was sold!

As I learned about the history of the building and architect John Brooks Walton, who once kept his office here, I knew I wanted to honor his legacy. The first time I walked into the space, I felt an overwhelming sense of warmth, peace, and creative energy—a true reflection of a genius who gave so much to the Tulsa community.

As our team and clientele continued to expand, we added a wall to our large lobby in the winter of 2025 to create a third treatment room. I'm currently updating the decor in each room to celebrate the building's Art Deco era—an ongoing project I’m so excited about!

I am deeply humbled and grateful for every client who has walked through our doors and helped turn a dream into reality, as well as the incredible team members I get to work alongside every day. Thank you all so very much.

Adrienne
Lead Licensed Massage Therapist

A Neuromuscular Therapist with certifications from both the Colorado Institute of Massage Therapy and the International Association of Neuromuscular Therapists, Adrienne specializes in Craniosacral Therapy, Prenatal Massage, Trigger Point Therapy, Integrative Techniques, and Cupping. With extensive knowledge of the human body, she blends a variety of modalities to create a customized massage experience tailored to each person’s individual needs and goals. Her approach is centered around pain relief, restoring balance, and supporting the body’s natural ability to heal.

Understanding that the body can carry the effects of past experiences and trauma within the musculoskeletal system, Adrienne takes a trauma-informed approach to her work. She is committed to creating a safe, respectful, and judgment-free environment where each person feels comfortable, heard, and supported. During the 2020 pandemic, Adrienne became deeply passionate about health and overall wellness, which ultimately led her to massage therapy and the ancient wisdom of healing touch. Along that journey, she came to embrace a simple but powerful belief: people need people. We are not meant to move through life disconnected from one another, and sometimes healing begins simply by feeling safe enough to be seen, heard, and cared for. This belief became the foundation of Adrienne’s work and continues to guide the way she approaches each person who trusts her with their body and their story.

Outside of the clinic, Adrienne is a mother of three beautiful children, an avid gardener, and a lover of movement. She finds peace and joy through running and dancing and enjoys nurturing her garden and homesteading. For Adrienne, wellness extends beyond the massage table—it is found in connection, movement, nature, family, and the everyday moments that bring us back to ourselves.

As a Certified Reiki Master, she brings an awareness of subtle physical and energetic cues that complements her understanding of anatomy and the nervous system.
