Philosophy
Heal your body, naturally. I am an experienced registered massage therapist, committed to providing you with focused, client centered treatments. Whether you want to reduce stress, relieve pain, or attend to a chronic injury, I have been trained in a variety of therapeutic techniques which can be tailored to meet your treatment goals.
Massage therapy can treat over 70 conditions and more and more people today choose it to relieve pain from many chronic conditions or just to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Some of the conditions that can be tremendously improved with treatments performed by a registered massage therapist are: migraines, frozen shoulder, torticollis, sprain and strains, tendinitis, nerve compressions (sciatica, piriformis syndrome carpal or tarsal tunnel), fibromyalgia and many more. Massage had been proven beneficial for circulation, stress and anxiety, joint mobility and improving health in general.
I am a dedicated practitioner who loves encouraging people to understand their bodies while providing a safe and nurturing atmosphere in which to heal.

you touch everything."

SWEDISH MASSAGE
Swedish massage therapy is the modality that comes to mind when most people think about massage. But Swedish massage therapy goes beyond relaxation. Swedish massage is exceptionally beneficial for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension.
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
Deep tissue massage involves manipulation of the deeper layers of muscles and fascia. The focus is on a more specific problem, such as: chronic pain, limited mobility, recovery from injuries (e.g. whiplash, falls, sports injury), repetitive strain injury, postural problems, muscle tension or spasm.
TRIGGER POINT THERAPY
HOT STONE MASSAGE
Myofascial trigger points are described as hyperirritable spots in the fascia surrounding skeletal muscle. Trigger points seem to be a factor in many of the aches and pains that many people suffer from. Trigger point therapy covers a range of techniques aimed at deactivating these painful knots.
Hot stone massage is a specialty massage where smooth, heated stones are used as an extension of my hands, or by placing them on the body. The heat can be both deeply relaxing and help warm up tight muscles so I can work more deeply, more quickly. Best enjoyed in the cooler months of the year.
