Introduction: I'm a Licensed Massage Therapist, 500 Hour Yoga Alliance Registered Instructor, Reiki Practitioner, & Certified Nutritional Consultant. I've trained and studied internationally in India, Thailand and Costa Rica, as well as in the US. My skills include neuromuscular therapy techniques, myofascial release, trigger-point therapy, deep tissue, oncology massage, medical massage, Thai Massage and Swedish massage.
When a client comes to me, sometimes they already know what service they would like to receive, whether it be a relaxing Swedish Massage, Therapeutic Massage, Thai Massage, Prenatal, etc. Other times, they're not sure. If that's the case, together we determine which technique(s) will be used in order to best relieve the effects of stress and chronic pain. I often incorporate stretches, deep tissue and myofascial techniques into the massages which helps to expand the benefits that massage can do and provide more lasting relief of muscle tension.
I was inspired to become a massage therapist by my mom - who has been a practicing massage therapist since 1986 and Rolfer since 1992 - which has given me a uniquely compassionate approach to clients’ needs. My first certification in bodywork was in Thai Massage which is a therapy back in 2003. I place value on educating the client about their body, providing stretching and exercise instructions that will help the individual achieve the best possible results. I work with a wide range of people including athletes, injury patients, pregnant women, folks with chronic pain, migraine sufferers, and anyone seeking overall wellness and ease of body and mind.
I’m a passionate therapist with an alternative approach, and I’m dedicated to helping my clients move through a wide range of physical, emotional, and spiritual transitions in the most efficient and transformative way possible.
