It gives me so much joy to see people out of pain!

Ten years ago I was involved in a motor vehicle accident. My chiropractor recommended massage. I was so impressed with my recovery and how it helped my running and cross country skiing pursuits I had to become a practitioner. The question was when. When the economy sank and jobs dried up in the IT Industry I decided to take the plunge and enrolled at the University of Western States, attaining my certificate in June of 2013. I have worked in several chiropractic clinics since perfecting my technique working with motor vehicle accidents, personal injury, sports related injuries, and performing general relaxation massage.

My background includes a deep interest in sports and nutrition, I have currently completed seven marathons and many ski marathons. With such an activity level I had to become well versed in eating well and using massage as a key component in my self care. I have taken continuing education classes in Structural Integration which combines breathwork along with resistive motion to decrease pain and gain range of motion. I also have taken classes in RockTape kinesio taping.

I always start where the client is. My technique is a combination of Swedish, Trigger Point, and Deep Tissue. A session with me will include a total focus on you!  Book an appointment with me and you will not be disappointed.

I love what I do and it gives me so much joy to see clients get reief from their pain!

Good luck in life and I look forward to hearing from you.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

by Marsha on Jul 27
Although it was a much different type of massage than I have had in the past, Gary did a great job in listening to me and tailoring the massage to my particular needs. I felt much better when I left than I did when I arrived.

Thanks, Gary!

Gary did a nice job combining several therapeutic massage techniques. He seemed to sense just the right amount of pressure. His space was pleasant and there was plenty of parking. The table and linens were cozy and included a heating pad on the table. I already scheduled a second appointment.

Gary has the skill and capacity to hone right in on what needs tending to. He knows what he is doing and is darn good at it. I left feeling so much better!

Gary was very knowledgeable, professional and listened to what I needed done. I made the appointment awhile back to work out tense muscles from both sports and sitting at a desk all day. However, I hurt my knee snowboarding a few days ago and usually I'm pretty sore after a day of boarding, but this time it was bad. I could't straighten my left leg out all the way when standing and walking was painful even after 3 days of rest, self massage and healing. Gary worked on my knee and whole leg as well as explained exactly how each part is affecting one another. After my appointment i was able to straighten my leg out when standing, walking is still a little painful, but definitely soo much better. Oh also I accidentally showed up a week early for my appointment and he still saw me. I guess I saved the appointment on the wrong Wednesday in my personal calendar, but luckily he was there that day. Definitely coming back soon.
