Creating Balance Through Touch

I have been a massage therapist for over 27 years and I love helping people feel better. My experience with massage started out by receiving massage to help me relax and decrease general tightness. I was driving a delivery truck at the time and that job definitely took its toll on my body.

I have been a massage therapist for over 27 years and I love helping people feel better. My experience with massage started out by receiving massage to help me relax and decrease general tightness. I was driving a delivery truck at the time and that job definitely took its toll on my body. Massage therapy helped relieve the job related pain and tightness so much I referred some of my coworkers to get a professional massage. A few years after I started receiving massage I had a sports related shoulder injury. My massage therapist helped to rehabilitate my shoulder injury in just a few short months. I was so impressed by the results I asked where she went to school to learn massage and three months later I was enrolled in massage therapy school. Twenty-two years later I am still loving it. Clients come to me with specific issues like headaches, lymphedema, sports injuries and some come for relaxation. No matter what the issue is, I will utilize all of my training and skills to help them feel better. I am a big believer in “what goes around, comes around” so my goal is to help my clients in whatever way I can.

Rob was professional and took time to understand my goals and explain what he would be doing.
by Lisa on May 10
This was my first visit with Rob and also my first lymphatic massage. Rob was extremely professional and made sure I was comfortable and my needs were the focus of the visit. I highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Rob was sensitive to my needs, he explained what he was finding, and made sure that any questions I had were addressed. I feel positive results from the lymphatic drainage massage, and actually got a longer walk in today, which I haven't done in months. Thank you Rob!

True pro ! Highly recommend his services.

He took the time to get to know me a bit before we got started and explained the process so that I would know what to expect.

Rob is a kind, extremely skilled practitioner. The best I have ever worked with. He is able to alleviate pain caused by past orthopedic injuries allowing me to avoid using Tylenol. He is encouraging and supportive. Excellent!
