"Man does not weave this web of life. He is merely a strand of it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself." - Chief Seattle
Each person tells a story within their body. Sometimes is the story of a hard-working woman, sitting at a computer for most of the day, developing pain in her neck and shoulders from the chronic postural imbalance of prolonged sitting. Another story might be a man who cannot shake his lower back pain and throbbing headaches. A woman has trouble sleeping and wakes up in pain. A weekend-warrior pulls a muscle while hiking and has trouble walking on his left leg. What can their bodies tell me?

Each person tells a story within their body. Sometimes is the story of a hard-working woman, sitting at a computer for most of the day, developing pain in her neck and shoulders from the chronic postural imbalance of prolonged sitting. Another story might be a man who cannot shake his lower back pain and throbbing headaches. A woman has trouble sleeping and wakes up in pain. A weekend-warrior pulls a muscle while hiking and has trouble walking on his left leg. What can their bodies tell me?
My purpose as a massage therapist is to find the narrative that your muscles are telling, by broadly and s-l-o-w-l-y traversing the landscape of the body through Myofascial massage, a firm but gentle pressure that gradually incorporates all muscle groups in the region so that nothing is left isolated. I introduce relaxation to stressed, hyper-tense muscles by gently and slowly calming the nervous system. I prefer to treat the body as a whole and include as much connected touch as possible, while still singling out the areas that need more attention.
Every person is unique and there is no 'one-size-fits-all' method for massage, therefore your massage needs to be just the right recipe for your own healing!
My techniques include Myofascial-Swedish massage, Deep Tissue, Triggerpoint-Myofascial massage, Aromatherapy (essential oils), Reflexology, Chakra cleansing, and much more. I am also trained in Hot Stone Massage.
I can incorporate essential oils and energy healing into your session as well to help release stress, burdens, and negative emotion, leaving you feeling refreshed and ready to face challenges with renewed vigor.
Massage is my passion! I have been doing this work for 6 years. Come see me and experience healing that breathes purpose back into your muscles.

Landmark Forum
The Landmark Forum offers a practical methodology for producing breakthroughs—achievements that are extraordinary, outside of what’s predictable. The Landmark Forum is grounded in a model of transformative learning—a way of learning that gives people an awareness of the basic structures in which they know, think, and act. From that awareness comes a fundamental shift that leaves people more fully in accord with their own possibilities and those of others.
