I like to describe my work as a powerful, intuitive, and relaxing Swedish massage with influences of Thai and Esalen. My clients have reported less pain, headache relief, better sleep, better mobility, relief from sport's injuries, and release of muscular tension after their massage. Some have said that I have "healing hands." I have excellent references. I love the “hands-on” approach to making people feel better and interacting with the unique world of the human body. The work revives me and makes me want to learn more about how we are created. I have taken classes with Katie Haley of Cosmic Flower and am certified in aromatherapy. I enjoy making household, personal care, and beauty products with oils for myself and others. I seem to always be concocting something! Since 2014 I've been a Young Living consultant and love using their high quality therapeutic oils and other products in my massage sessions to further enhance the massage experience. I believe that plant oils have a great effect on the mind, body, and emotions and compliment touch therapy. Raindrop massage is the newest massage offering I've added to my work menu. Look for foot reflexology in the future! Besides Margie Meshew's Thai on the Table classes, I've enjoyed learning more about the Thai modality from Christopher Ray, who has traveled the globe to learn about massage from some of the finest teachers, including Master Pichest Boonthumme. Other unique influences have included classes in Chi Nei Tsang, a type of stomach massage that treats the energetic lines that correspond to the body's organs.
