I am a licensed massage therapist with a deep-rooted passion for healthcare and over 13 years of experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant. I’m also a Certified Medication Aide, and my background in medical care continues to shape how I approach massage therapy, with compassion, attentiveness, and a strong commitment to my clients’ overall well-being. I am focused on the individual client needs and I use various techniques including myofascial release, range of motion, muscle energy technique, lymphatic flow, blood flow. I use Gua Sha for muscle tightness and to release knots. I also learned Thai massage and stretching techniques. I am from Burma(Myanmar) and I also use techniques that I learned from there. 

I’ve always loved caring for others, especially the elderly, and that heart for service is what led me to expand into massage therapy. I see massage not just as a way to relax, but as a powerful tool to support physical health, reduce pain, and improve quality of life. Whether you’re a senior managing chronic tension, a working adult needing stress relief, or a younger client seeking better body balance, I tailor each session to your specific needs.

My goal is to provide safe, effective, and nurturing care to people of all ages, combining my medical experience with therapeutic touch to help you feel your best—body, mind, and spirit.

Thank you for letting me be a part of your health journey. I look forward to meeting you.
