“Massage is something that I have loved since I was a kid. I remember being seven or eight years old, rubbing my Aunt Becky’s shoulders when she would feel a migraine coming on. And the rest is history. I aim to relieve pain in every massage I give. I customize each massage to fit the individual’s needs to treat acute and chronic pain, and I like to incorporate a variety of massage techniques in each session including Deep Tissue, Medical Massage, Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release, Swedish and Muscle Energy.”
