Massage Therapist, Martial Artist, Paintball Player.
I am licensed massage therapist who works in numerous modalities starting with Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue, and Integrative Reflexology.
Practice Philosophy
I believe in addressing the Client's needs whether it be level of comfort, specific problems, or making a referral to another therapist. In addition, I use knowledge gained through years of Martial Arts to assist in the techniques applied to increase therapeutic effects.
Why I do what I do
A combination of things led to my decision to becoming a massage therapist. Being a parent of two autistic children and becoming disenchanted with a career in digital printing. A decision was made to make a change. I needed a less stressful job with flexible hours. While attending a martial arts seminar on pressure point (nerve) striking I noticed how attendees were in such pain the next day. I often thought about if the process could be reversed. Then I saw volunteers at my son's Special Olympic event doing massage therapy on the athletes. A moment of Zen had hit me. I realized what career change I would make. So after spending almost 20 years of learning how to inflict pain it was time learn how to relieve some.
