My philosophy is that massage does not need to hurt to be effective. Many tetechniques are combined to work effectively on the muscle in an effort to get it to relax. A client may receive results right away or a day later. I started my career in 2001. I attended the Minneapolis School of Massage and Bodywork. I love massage. The power of touch is so important to us. For years now, I have taken all of my skills in Swedish, deep tissue, and relaxation and combining them to provide the best massage I can to the client.  **Here's an interesting article written about Deep tissue massage and the question of pressure. https://www.painscience.com/articles/pressure-question.php 

 A little about my family I grew up in Glenwood, Minnesota where my parents and siblings still live locally today. We are deep in our Scandivian ways with our cooking and "You betcha's." My family attended a Lutheran church founded by the pioneers of our small part of Glenwood. It was here that my walk with God and understanding of him first started. I was blessed to have my school counsel also be my Sunday school teacher for several years. I met my amazing husband, Mike, in Albertville, Minnesota while attending a neighborhood bonfire. We joke a lot about how he attended the bonfire right after deer hunting in his hunting attire and when we met we knew it was love. We met in 1999 and we're married in 2004. I have three beautiful girls from seasons earlier in my life. Each one different from the other. Now days they are grown women. Mike and I are so very proud them. Our oldest daughter is married and has a family. In this picture is her husband and our grandson, Sawyer. We currently live in Albertville with our fuzzy, overly large Golden Retriever, Copper. Mike is Irish by the way and the IT Director of his family's business in Rogers Minnesota.
