I began training at the International Professional School of Massage (IPSB) in San Diego, CA, in 1992.  With over 25 years of experience and many Continuing Education trainings I have many tools at my disposal.  For my clients who wish a pain-free gentle and relaxing massage there is the time-honored Swedish Massage.  For those desiring therapeutic release of focused trouble spots there is Deep Tissue Massage or Neuro-Muscular Therapy.  Passive Joint Movement, therapeutic stretching, and compression techniques are useful for releasing problematic holding patterns in the arms and legs.  Cupping is an excellent tool for relaxing fascia which has been strained.  Hot Stones are comforting and assist with the relaxation of tight muscles; they also are the favorite of those with an acutely ticklish nature.  My massages are usually a mixture of many of these modalities specifically suited to the client's needs in each area.
