I started as a massage therapist and yoga instructor in 1997. Before starting massage school, I had training in Neuromuscular Therapy which is an advanced Trigger Point Therapy. I found that I focused on scientifically-based massage practices because I wanted to offer my clients practical and effective treatment of pain. My yoga philosophy and my own meditation practice taught me that relaxation is key for clients to heal. So I blend specific, symptom-based massage with helping my clients let go of mental/emotional stress. This is a really effective combination. Pain relief massage is not scary and does not hurt. There is, in many cases, a simple way to treat your pain.
The result for my clients is that I offer fairly comforting pain relief therapeutic massage is symptom-based which means that I only treat where there are symptoms. I am precise in working with scientifically studied facts about understanding complex muscle issues and can resolve them, often completely, in a way that is tolerable so clients leave feeling relaxed and regaining function of tight and painful muscles.
Looking forward to working with you!
